What’s more, everything indicates that he will be with full authority on the podium of best selling cars in the entire year 2022. This 4.14-meter crossover is currently on sale, and its manufacturer claims that we can take it home paying only seven euros a day. In this article we want to tell you what you take home for seven euros, and what is the small print of this, on paper, an attractive offer.

The car is the SEAT Arona, which we have recently tested on our YouTube channel, analyzing whether it is still a relevant car at the start of its sixth year on the market. But the version offered is not the 1.5 TSI of 150 CV in FR finish that we tested, but a Reference XM trim with access engine to the range That engine is a 1.0 TSI propeller, a turbocharged three-cylinder with 95 hp, associated with a six-speed manual transmission. It is an engine with correct performance, more than worthy for a car of its size and weight.

Only its CNG version currently has an ECO label. The 1.0 TSI of 95 CV has a C label as it lacks hybridization.

In fact, with a 0 to 100 km/h time of 11.5 seconds and 175 Nm of torque, it moves in an agile way, boasting of average contained consumption: 5.4 l/100 km in the WLTP combined cycle. The SEAT Arona stands out for being a car with dynamic behavior and agile driving feel, as well as offering a large boot, with nothing less than 400 liter volume. Its rear seats are spacious, and after its facelift, the apparent quality of its interior improved significantly thanks to the soft finish of its redesigned dashboard.
