The previous year has actually brought a great deal of news in between little cars and crossovers. The current Ibiza raised the bar in the sector, which is why we had high expectations of its “gotten rid of” sis– Arona. It is 8 cm longer than the Ibiza and approximately 11 cm greater. The width stays the exact same, however the front seat is 5 cm greater. Is it much easier to support the wheel?
On the one hand, yes, since when going into, you do not need to decrease your body too low and bow your head, due to the fact that the door opening is larger. On the other hand, in Arona you need to conquer a greater limit than in Ibiza, which suggests that you need to raise your leg more. In addition, it is not covered by the door– when you head out, you can get your filthy trousers leg. Our problem is not since we have actually slouched or weak, however since of the appeal of this kind of vehicle amongst somewhat older chauffeurs who value a simple and easy trip.
The position behind the wheel itself is great, the seat is likewise great, although the Seat got on the possibility of changing the back assistance and tilting the headrest. Possibly it has to do with keeping the range in between Arona and Ateka higher, however the very first video game in the rate league of Leon, and in it– as in numerous other compacts– such functions are well enhanced.
Seat Arona 1.0 TSI– remarkably roomy
The Ibiza is among the most roomy designs in its class and the Arona even more boosts this function. There is a 3 cm area noticeable near the knees at the back. There is likewise more headroom than in the majority of compacts or perhaps mid-size limos. Adult travelers can quickly take a trip here in an unlimited state. There’s 400 liters left in the boot– 45 liters more than the Ibiza. Trunk criteria are equivalent to rivals, however for household journeys they might end up being inadequate. Smaller sized station wagons (eg Skoda Fabia) are more large.
The cockpit of the Arona is the very same as that of the Ibiza. The benefits of access to 1:1 indications and switches are basic operation and credibility. Downsides– just tough completing products. It’s odd that the old Ibiza had a soft control panel, and now even the Arona does not “be worthy of” it according to accounting professionals. In the Xcellence variation, the low-cost sensation is partly compensated by: an appealing guiding wheel, well completed, silver trim panels, a big screen of the multimedia system and material door panels with LED lights. The entire thing is made strong and closed, absolutely nothing makes a sound about the disparity.
Seat Arona 1.0 TSI Xcellence
In truth, bumps. Arona beats them more silently and soft cushions than its sis Ibiza. The suspension is plainly set out with a focus on convenience and some loss of handling. The Arona, while capable, can’t be guided into corners as with confidence and straight as the lower and more stiff Ibiza. You can feel the Arona’s greater center of mass and less rubber in the steering system. While the Ibiza enjoys turns, the Arona does not contempt. The longest style of this crossover is likewise a little on the highway– it is exposed to side winds.
Kit Arona 1.0 TSI– engine just
Currently, the Arona is just readily available with a 1.0 TSI with 95 or 115 hp. The seat costs PLN 2,700 for these 20 horses. It deserves paying additional, since with this engine it is remarkably versatile. You can speed up to “hundred” in less than 10 seconds, however the clutch does not like to hurry like that, you need to likewise be delicate to the throttle when beginning. A consistent foot results in a typical fuel intake of 6.3 l/ 100 km on the determining loop. In Warsaw traffic congestion, Arona, nevertheless, utilized even 8.8 l/ 100 km. On the favorable side: an excellent culture of engine work and its mute.
Although the alternatives in Seat were well priced, the test, in which the Arona was completely geared up, expense about PLN 92503 For an Ibiza with the exact same specs, you will need to pay PLN 10,600 less. Pricey for section B. For this spending plan, you can pick the 125 hp Leon 1.4 TSI Estate in Xcellence variation with couple of bonus. Possibly less stylish, however more comfy and useful.

Kiti Arona 1.0 TSI– our ranking
The Arona has actually been a success for Seat, and is a crucial example for the brand name provided the growing appeal of this section. A strong argument for it is a more large cabin than in Citroën C3 Aircross or Opel Crossland X. Contrary to their history, the cost is no longer a barrier, however the most affordable option will be a compact station wagon, not weak or inferior.
