Welcome to Tech in the Car! we're here with SEAT today looking at the all-new 2022
SEAT Arona this is a small SUV and it's had an update to the inside to
the outside and i'm going to show you around it explain the differences and we're going
to take them for driving compare the Xperience lux and the FR Sport model
let's start off looking at the exterior of the all-new SEAT Arona so a couple of things you'll
notice first of all there's a new grille design on these cars they're more sporty and the car
has a more purposeful suv style design the other thing too is there are all new led headlights and
daytime running lights on these cars now if you look at the bottom of the bumper you'll
see there's a new lower half of the bumper down here which is different between the FR and the
Xperience models and you can see there's little strips down here at the bottom and on this one
it's kind of a whole unit with different contrast colors the other thing you'll notice down here is
both of these have adapter cruise control and lane assisted all the driver assistance features
that you could want and of course there are new repositioned and redesigned fog lights at the
front here as standard the newer owner comes with 17 inch wheels but if you go up to the FR Sport or
the Xperience models then you get 18 inch wheels these are two of the 18 inch wheel designs on this
experience lux model i really like these diamond cut aloe wheels they look really really cool
this is another option as well on the FR sport and along the side of the cars you can see they've got
a very purposeful design which looks really cool and sporty for an SUV i really like this logo
on the back side here and then also on the newer owner there's a new diffuser and spoiler here and
this diffuser is contrast on this model which is the fr sport it actually has a space for
the exhaust here so you've actually got a cut out whereas on the other model the experience locks it
doesn't have that on this all-new arowana there are ten colors and three contrasts for the roof
the new colours are two types of blue and a camouflage which you can also see on the Formentor check out my Formentor video if you haven't done that while i compare the models
just like this car so what about space in the back of the all-new arona well you'd be pleased to know
that there are actually 400 liters of space in this car which means there's plenty of space
for you to put all your things that you might need and there are tie down points and tether points in
the back of this car and you've got a movable boot lid as well where you can adjust the height of it
so you can have a flatter lip if you want to put stuff in the back of the car just what you would
expect from any SUV how much space is that in the back of the all-new SEAT Arona well let's find out
shall we it feels very spacious back here there's a lot of space here i've got plenty of knee room
and i've got head room and it's a really nice interior back here there is plastic on the back
doors here but generally inside it's really really nice and one new feature of the all-new SEAT Arona
is there are lights in the back here which you can use to illuminate whoever's in the back seat which
wasn't in the previous model and which say says they've had a lot of demand for welcome to the
interior of the all-new arona you can see there are some changes here we've got soft plastic
on the upper dashboard we've got a bigger infotainment screen we've got a 10.25 inch
digital cockpit as well and inside here everything has just had a bit of a redesign
the vents have led lighting in them as well talking about the technology inside
this car there is Android Auto wireless and Apple CarPlay wireless as well in this car
as well as manual climate control this model the Xperience lux also has a start stop button here
so you can turn it on with keyless entry this is a really nice interior it makes me really happy
to be sitting inside this car we also have an sos call button up here and of course they have
their all new connect app which lets you see where your car's parked check if the doors are locked or
unlocked and check your fuel information because it has a built-in e-sim this brings this car again
up to a level of a much more expensive model with all this cool technology inside as well as
a driver assist technology as well let's take both these cars for drive now and compare the fr sport
and the experience lux and see what differences there are between the different models
this is the saiya arona fr sport trim level with 110 horsepower from its dual clutch automatic
gearbox this car has a 0 to 60 time of 10.8 seconds top speed 118 miles an hour we've got 200
newton meters of torque that's got quite a good amount of torque and this car costs 25 110 pounds
on the road so this car is really well spec it's got all the tech you could want we got a big touch
screen in the middle here we've got a digital drivers display we've got wireless android auto
and wireless carplay it's got sporty accents which are red around the air vents the steering wheel's
got napa leather they're just a really really great quality car there's space in the back for
your family say i've added lights to the back here so at night time it's easier to illuminate what's
going on the back of the car there's 400 liters of space in the back as well in terms of driving
as we're going over bumps now i can barely feel them and it's just really easy to handle and drive
the steering feels quite sharp actually for for a smaller suv it's going where i want it to go
and like i said we have all the driving systems features so it means we've got total safety for
you and your family being the fr sport model this is a slightly more sporty model so we do have
a sports mode down here which changes the gearbox into a more sporty setting which gives us a more
responsive throttle where you can definitely feel more of that 110 horsepower that's a really nice
feature to have on this car and overall this car is just really really comfortable and sporty to
drive for what it is and i think this is a really good value now is the other model that we have
the experienced locks model is that gonna feel the same or different let's get in that car and
have a check and see what that's like to drive this is the experience luck so this is also 110
ps this car also has a 0 to 60 time of 10.8 seconds and this is a top range model so it's got
park assist and a reversing camera which is really really handy especially when you're reversing
down onto a lake like i've been filming these cars today but obviously being able to park your car in
small spaces having those cameras and the ability to have parkinson's is really really useful
there's no perforated steering wheel so it feels slightly less sporty and it doesn't have the red
trim and the red stitching that the fr sport did but you know that's to be expected this is this
is the top of the range model the fully spec model and this isn't a sports car driving wise this is
very similar it's got the same engine it's got the same gearbox the same suspension this car is 26
255 so it's about another thousand pounds more but i think you get really good value with that
with the added features like the reversing camera what i would say about these cars in general is
they are very very similar and they're really really good value cars they have all the best
equipment they've all got a nice interior yeah there are some plasticky bits you'll notice that
but for everything you get for all the tech all the driver assistance you can't really beat it
there's nothing better obviously if you're after a car which is an suv then you've got the new ibiza
check out my video on those as well but if you're after an suv then you can't go wrong with the seat
arona i know this is a really good car you should definitely check it out at your local dealer
if you're interested in taking one for test drive and see all the cool technology in here because
this will not only keep you safe but with android auto and apple carplay make sure you never get
lost as well so what's my final conclusion on the say arona let's go back to the dock at the end of
the pier and see what i think so that's a new say at rona these are really great small suvs
they have loads of great technology Android Auto Apple CarPlay all the drive assistants just make
sure that you spec a car which has got everything you want i would recommend you go for the top end
because you get everything and it's really worth it if you have any questions let me know down
