What we like

The Arona is generally well equipped: all models bar the entry-level SE have satnav, reversing sensors and metallic paint included as standard, so you really don’t need to spend any more on options.

What we don’t like

Since a high-performance Cupra Arona isn’t available, the quickest model you can buy today is the 1.5-litre TSI Evo. However, it’s a bit of a disappointment compared with its three-cylinder counterparts. It’s also starting to look and feel a little bit past its best, especially inside.
