Used SEAT Arona for sale

The Seat Arona scored a full five-star safety rating when tested in 2017 by Euro NCAP with features such as side, head and chest airbags helping to contribute to this score. Other safety systems include autonomous emergency braking, a speed assistance system and a seatbelt reminder.

Engine options for the Arona start with 1.0-litre petrol - available in a series of states of tune - rising to a more powerful 1.4-litre version and a later 1.5-litre. Then, there are 1.6-litre diesel options available, though these were removed from cars made after 2021 - so you’ll need to find Arona models built before that if you’re after a diesel. Both automatic and manual gearboxes are available.

All cars get a five-inch infotainment system as standard, which is where you’ll access features such as media and navigation. Plus, you still get a digital radio on entry-level Arona models alongside cruise control to help make longer journeys easier. Step up through the grades and you’ll see extra features such as a larger infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and front and rear parking sensors being added. However, all cars do get a good standard of equipment included from the off.

The diesel versions of the Arona will bring the best-possible efficiency, achieving up to 70.6mpg. That said, the petrol-powered examples are still very frugal and will return around 55mpg combined, while the newer 1.5-litre versions can achieve up to 57.6mpg. Expect fuel efficiency on automatic gearbox versions to fall ever so slightly.

With its small dimensions, the Arona is ideal for around-town driving, which is why we’d be looking for scraped alloys and dinged bumpers. The Arona has had some issues with the infotainment system, so make sure that it’s working properly on any car you’re considering. However, if you’re looking for a more in-depth survey of any Arona that you’re looking to buy, then an AA vehicle inspection can provide great clarity through a detailed report created by a trained engineer.

Seat Aronas have proven to be very reliable during their period on-sale with many owners reporting thousands of hassle-free miles. However, if you’d like to make sure that there aren’t any issues with a car you’re thinking of purchasing, then an AA Vehicle Inspection could be the way to go. With it, a trained technician will go over the car and even take it on a short test to drive to make sure that everything is just as it should be.

The Arona engine range starts with a 1.0-litre petrol and rises to a 1.6-litre diesel.
