We took the new Seat Arona up to Edinburgh for the Genesis Scottish Open! It's nifty and agile - especially on a back road - and does well in the city.
The model we have here is the FR Sport, and it's powered by a 1L TSI Petrol engine, coupled to a six speed manual gearbox.
There are eight trims in the range to choose from:
SE from £20,960.00 on the road
SE Edition from £21,910.00 on the road
SE Technology from £21,960.00 on the road
FR from £24,375.00 on the road
FR Edition from £24,540.00 on the road
FR Sport from £25,465.00 on the road
Xperience from £25,095.00 on the road
Xperience Lux from £26,655.00 on the road

What do you think of the new Seat Arona FR Sport? Can you see yourself in one? Annabelle

@HerrmannBurger Год назад

Nice looking car, currently stuck on whether to go for FR Sport of this or the Kia Stonic GT line S. Can't make a decision. 😓

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

That’s a tough one, both great engines - good luck 😀

@HerrmannBurger Год назад

@@PlanetautoUK I'm really liking the look and feel of the Seat Arona when I test drove it (feels more premium and solid), but the mild hybrid battery and few extra technologies in the Kia make it hard to decide.

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Yes, the Stonic hasn’t quite caught up with the build quality of the newer Kia models, mind you they both launched around the same time. I honestly don’t know which one I’d choose.

@HerrmannBurger Год назад

@@PlanetautoUK And this is why I'm still stuck, I've watched so many car reviews for both cars and still ain't any closer. 🤣

Looks good. I work for ABG UK, we have purchased 230 of these so far this year.

We were impressed Attila 😊

@richardhowlett9424 Год назад

A very good looking car especially in that colour scheme, proper gearbox and handbrake, shame about the screens but that’s what you get these days . Can’t put my finger on what , but something tells me this wasn’t filmed recently !

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

This was a fun jaunt last week as you can tell from the winter clothes and ice on the windscreen, and not last July. Now that was a week to remember, that manual was a lovely box and a nice change, thank you Richard.

@georgedaville4662 Год назад

This is a very nice car. I have been a passenger in one and was very impressed with the car overall. Your report mirrors my impressions, pity I couldn’t get a drive!😂

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Yes, impressive little SUV, thank you George

@jimskirtt5717 Год назад

Overpriced, in my opinion. Too much hard plastic and lack of features against say, a Peugeot 208.

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

VWG are always a bit pricier also many people looking at small crossovers, Bayon etc are happy with the spec, shame there’s no Cupra that would sort it, thank you Jim

@jimskirtt5717 Год назад

@@PlanetautoUK What do you think of the forthcoming Cupra Urban Rebel?

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Looks very cool, let’s hope it doesn’t change too much! *A

@mattsbeamer Год назад

That car, in that spec and such a wonderful colour really does look impressive. SEAT’s really should be in a nice 🔥red it bring out its Spanish heritage :)

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

It’s certainly a smart looking machine, thank you Matt

@14sammyj Год назад

Even in this trim I noticed no front arm rest and no usb sockets in the back? Seems a bit mean really at this price

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Yes, it’s strange what’s omitted by manufacturers in this segment, thank you Sammy

@robertrusu8049 Год назад

I have a 2018 Seat 1.0 tsi, automatic. What I can say after a year of usage is that the engine is absolutely beautiful, haven't had a single problem with it and I personally always keep it in semi manual shift and personally like to get to around 4-5k rpm before switching gears. However a couple of issues I've seen/heard about is the quality of the dashboard, it seems to wear down quite a bit over time, furthermore the actual build quality of the front is very similar to Tesla, in the sense that it will keep you safe... Yet a single head on collision will completely ruin the car due to it's soft and absorbent properties. Overall, great car, spacious, a bit pricey, spectacular engine with ridiculous power considering it's 1.0l capacity with 115 horse power. Just make sure you don't crash!

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Sounds superb, a lot of cars are now built to be written off in a low speed head on/ pedestrian collision, good to see you’re enjoying it. Drive safely and thank you Robert.

Would you recommend this or the Suzuki Vitara?

What are you mainly doing, commutes, long hauls etc?

@thestourvalleysynthesizerc6543 Год назад

@@PlanetautoUK local driving but with site visits along the A12 and then on rural roads and longer journeys from Essex to Norfolk and North Wales a at least 4 or 5 times a year

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Do you prefer engaging or more comfy driving?

@thestourvalleysynthesizerc6543 Год назад

@@PlanetautoUK Well we tried a SX-4 S-Cross and Vitara last week and found the former a bit 'uninvolved' vs the Vitara. Haven't had a chance to try an Arona or Ateca yet. I don't like a suspension to be too hard or bouncy (Honda HRV bounced us all over the place), but found the Vitara to be okay in that regard (seats were better in the S-Cross though). I do like to feel what the car is doing.

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Suzuki would be a more pliable ride than the Arona FR, however the Seat will be a more engaging drive

@arasaras235 Год назад

How many mpg will it give you around town plz thanks

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

HI Aras - The consensus is around the 40mpg mark for moderate city driving, but it's easy to get it above that. We were getting between 42 and 45 mpg on our road trip, and that was with Ben driving (and his lead foot, lol) Hope this helps. *A

Very, very helpful walk through of the car! I'm from the US and looking to rent something for the family while in Ireland this summer and I really appreciate getting to see what I'm renting before I show up since we don't have these over here. Thanks!!

@PlanetautoUK Год назад

Glad to be of service, P D. Enjoy your experience in the Arona, and if you get the chance pop over and visit the Isle of Man. It’s where Ben’s family come from, and it’s a lovely place to be. *A

@@PlanetautoUK Great trip, but we ended up with a VW. I got the hang of driving on the other side of the road within a day though backwards roundabouts aren't easy to cope with at first!
