SEAT Arona SUV 2020 in-depth review | carwow Reviews 

7:49 - Looks like Mat got this one wrong guys. Unfortunately you aren't able to get the Arona in four-wheel drive!

Had a 1.0 115bhp one as a hire car in Spain for the last week, done about 1,000 miles in it. Must admit I’m very impressed indeed. Pretty comfy, ergonomically spot on, can get two suitcases in the boot with room to spare, surprisingly quick, getting over 50mpg, handles really well and it’s enjoyable. Difficult to see how it could be any better really - I’d like to try the 1.5 version.

3:27 how Matt tries to open the boot VW style :D

I've waited for this video for like a month, finally it's here!

Love you're videos keep doing it

I really dig the headlamps, especially the daytime light looks sharp & upscale i also love the rims design

Superb review!Best ever! You didn't have a lot to say about the car so you made a nice intro and a funny followtrough... congrats!

Got one rental at moment. Your right about the whistle from mirrors and bloody road noise is so bad I taught boot was open. Other than that it's fast and handles like a dream. The gear change is perfection.

Your reviews are so entertaining to watch

I never understood how some cars could already be claimed as 2019 cars when we're 6 months from there...

Nice review like always! For when a review to the Crossland X?

this guy is hilarious, makes the review a lot easier to watch. He understands the right tone of voice to use on a 10min video where other reviewers drone on and on with a script they dont follow lol

Do a review off the Suzuki S-cross I would like to hear what you Think off it

I love my Arona 🚗 Mine is desire red with a grey roof - technology se automatic It drives well is spacious and I get around 52 mpg at the min I expect more once it’s run in - I’ve only done 600 miles. Highly recommend this car - it has lots of extras you’d normally have to pay for... very happy with my new 🚘 beats my Citroen cactus hands down!!

Nice color for this model, As always Excellent review 👍👍👍👌😊😍

Hey mate. Awesome review. Can you please also review the new Tucson facelift 2019?

Took one for a drive. It was excellence Lux spec (far better than the spec you tested) . It's is a very nice car, bar one issue, the engine, I drove the 1L 3cyl, it was fine around town, and ok (at best) on the motorway. My biggest issue was Mpg, for a car with no guts, or fun, I want better than 34mpg. (the trip was showing that over 2k miles). You need the one with the leather dash and door cards, plus the half leather alcantara seats. Then you have a nice package, minus the engine. Apparently they are getting the 1.5petrol that is in the Octavia (150bhp), that should make this car a winner in its class.

Another beautifull car from Seat! I just got Leon in same collor, really great.

really like your music choices:)

I mean it ally boils down to which of fetch Skoda/SEAT/VW variants suits your budget and lifestyle. Even the interiors are now looking the same. It almost doesn't matter which one you go for.

Hired a 2021 SEAT Arona FR automatic after a day I had to check and was surprised it was a 1.0 Moves really quick. Response is pretty quick. You can easy say as a driver it drives like a sports car. I have to say it does NOT look as fast as it drives. But driving this car you'd be confident enough to drive beside any German cars. But speeding in corners I noticed it isn't much stuck on the road as it does slide a tiny bit

For you Matt between the Arona and the Kia Stonic and the 2008 top gasoline which one would you chose?

Love your vids

The strip on the dash breaks the big slab of plastic. I like the physical knobs. Smart looking car.

Before you consider buying the Arona, make sure you watch its Moose Test. (Hint: It's not good). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_SIvJHFdNu0.html

Would love to see you do a video on the MG HS and MG ZS

Now for this price 14548£ you will get 3 years old Arona(((

Compare Arona vs Ibiza back to back?

After 3 years, with help of this video, I finally understand the trunk 😭😭😭

Thanks to CarWow - I've just bought a Xcellence Lux 115 psi DSG via the app. The process was so easy, I received 5 replies and bought from Seat Bury St Edmunds. Alison and Aaron were fantastic, great knowledge, great customer service and a great price, I did a PCP lease over 48 months have to wait until end of June to collect due to covid19. The best bit has to be the CarWow app, if you are looking for a car use it, its so simple to use. Thanks Matt.....

What other cars should I consider similar to this car? Should have a decent boot size, spacious and reliable?

8:11 DO MORE OF THAT ZOOM TRANSITION PLZ....

Mat if you still have that old HTC get the new HTC 12 plus it looks pretty good

any chance you test lada vesta sw cross?

Arona DSG lux ordered w8 2018 delivery is to be w46. I was originally told 12 week wait so cancelled and now have a BMW :)

I have Leon Cupra in this color, it looks dope.

Love the Arona, nearly bought one but actually got a better deal on an Ateca

Very useful channel 👏👏👌

So I recently got the Arona, FR, automatic in the deep red with the black roof/mirrors and I must say I really prefer the trim on the FR to the excellence. There's more interior leather and soft touch areas and even ambient LED lighting. The dual turbos on the FR also make it a nippy car (my last was a 1.6 diesel focus and the performance is almost identical, 0-60 is supposed 10 seconds but I clocked one run at 8) you'll never struggle to merge in traffic, and can easily beat a lot of cars at the lights and, dare I say, it even feels a bit sporty (though obviously, this isn't meant to be a fast car). In my view, other than a few bits of extra tech, there's no real reason to go above the FR model if you're considering buying (I mean no offense to anyone who has the excellence model - you still have a cracking car!). I think its literally a case of you get front parking sensors? Maybe even a rear camera? But it really isn't worth the extra cost (again in my opinion). When looking at the version Matt is driving, it has that weird fake chrome interior all over the dash, FR has a stitched leather - just a more elegant/stylish model (in my opinion). I definitely recommend the car if you're looking to buy, and being VW/Audi group means that the engine is reliable and it (should) retain a good price down the line.

Waiting for the review of Opel Crossland X

Matt pls give a review on BMW 6GT 2019 model

Awesome video

The engine start/stop button is in a daft location, would have been better to move it to nearer the dash.

Why you didnt do the centre console test like you did in the stonic?

The review is a wee bit harsh considering the price-point. One of the better looking crossover cars IMO. The MIL loves hers.

love moschino sweater, cool

Great review of the Arona but on the ISOFIX I disagree. Yes they are buried more in the seat than other cars, but even so it took me less than a minute to hook my ISOFIX base in - so not really an issue.

Matt, please can you test Ateca vs Karoq. With diesel engines 4d Thanks

5:02 hahaha all the more reason i love Matt's reviews

please do arona vs t-cross vs 2008 2020

Woohoo, about time you guys posted this, I follow you on insta and it was filmed months ago😭 keep up the great work

Hi Mat, what is your daily driver

I’ve been looking at this as an everyday car, comparing it to the cx3 and maybe even a Tucson.

7:54 - *WRONG!* You can’t get ANY version of Arona with four wheel drive. They are all front wheel drive only, even the range topping model.

the 115 horsepower version is the best combination of equipment, price and comfort in its range

Thought it was a new video from carwow until I see the date of it

I like how the climate controls like a little bit like a cassette deck.

Can you please make a video about the bmw x6 and x6m

Nice reviews keep it up 😎😎😎

My Father has just got the xcellence lux 1.0 wanted something smaller than a 1.8 FR Leon said its a great little car more gagets than his 17 plate Leon said its a bit noisy but thats about it

is it still winter in the uk? :D

Is it only I noticed? Why is engine start button on the opposite side from a driver?

Would love to see your reaction to the tesla plaid delivery event

Mat when is the Rolls Royce Cullinan review coming.😍😍😍

Adjustable floor, that’s cool 👌

Simple yet powerful little machine. Get a fully spec'd model guys, over time you'l thank yourself for doing so..the odd option here n there matters..

how does the keyless entry work sorry never had that

Do the new duster please Matt

If we were to get that car Stateside, it would go straight to the rental fleets.

Any FR with DSG likely? If not, I'm out.

Im going to get one .!!

Best part of this video is at 5:02! LMAO! Dude you are the definitely the best and most exciting car reviewer I have ever come across. There are facts, fun and laughter in each of your reviews, it just keeps everyone engaged. lol

2017 Carwow Is Back

somebody noticed when he said "to the frront of the car" 4:04

The front seat backs look so thin. I can't imagine they would be comfortable.

Cant believe you ate that bit of croissant!

Matt why aren’t you a fan of 3cyl’s, you always complain that they make a noise but it’s a nice noise, personally I find 3 cyl’s put a smile on my face and they like to be revved...

Cant decide either the 1.0 ecotsi 115 or the 1.6 diesel... i mainly drive local (20-40mph) but sometimes i carry passengers (full car) and then once a month may do the odd motorway drive (leeds to manchester) not sure how the 1.0 ecotsi will cope with the weight and distance or should i get the 1.6 diesel

Im getting this in april, the 1.5petrol and prob paying a bit extra for the bells and whistles (on mobility scheme) im excited for 1 reason only, i dont have to screw my back getting in and out lol! Im gonna be driving 650miles 5weeks after i get it so gotta have the bigger engine lol! But if u need more room just get a tarraco.

Budget brand like Seat can be a game changer for Volkswagen group in south Asia. They should have launch it instead of Skoda.

Cool Design

3:18 missed the rear armrest

Has he ever done a review where says avoid? I've been following the chanel for a year and have not seen one yet?

What's the brand on that shirt?

Yay, old "5 things" music is back. Wasn't the same without it

*Dunno how it works just does*

I’m getting Steve Coogan vibes from this chap. He’s an Alan Partridge fan for sure.

its amazing.!

At 2:33 why does he always cover top of the iPad with this thumb for?? I realised he done it on a few other reviews. Carwow I want to know why.

Matt why are you so cold? 32 degrees here...

Would this be a very good first car?

Mazda 6 Honda Accord Toyota camry Review

Volvo V60 soon? the test drive in Barcelona was ages ago....

4:28 Hmmmmmm, very very very very very interesting, indeeeeeeed.

Ohhh, Mat listens to Audioslave? One of my favorite bands

tbh Arona is best in it's class

Isn't it the 2018 version?

The SEAT Arona is not too bad to drive though it has bi-colour combinations to choose from and packed with cool features. Still, the Arona would not be for me.

Matt, you looked like you were secretly enjoying yourself at 4:28. ; )

Strange how when he puts his foot down in this car and it makes noise....it's "kind of" ok. But if he puts his foot down in a CVT vehicle it is a "horrible" noise even though it's about the same.
