The SEAT Arona fits nicely in the small SUV segment, which is one of the fastest growing segments in the automotive world. It offers practicality, comfort and style; all key things when it comes to considering the next car for your family. 

All SEAT Aronas are 5 door small SUVs, with prices starting from around £20,040. The Arona SE is the entry level model and is equipped to let you do your thing every day. From front assist that
helps you avoid getting up close to the vehicle ahead, Eco LED Daytime Running Lights so you can see and be seen 24/7, to a 8.25" touchscreen media system so you’re free to listen to whatever gets you going for the journey.

If that hasn't whet your appetite enough, take a look at these 8 reasons the SEAT Arona is the perfect family car.

1. ISOFIX

Car seat safety is at the forefront of all parent's minds when it comes to choosing a vehicle for the family. In the SEAT Arona, you are offered a pair of ISOFIX child seat settings in the back, meaning you can securely seat two children without having to worry. 

2. Compact but spacious

Although the SEAT Arona fits into the Small SUV segment, don't be fooled by it's compact appearance. 

At the back of the car, you are offered an incredible 400L of boot space; plenty for your buggy and your shopping. You also have added flexibility with the two-level boot, giving you the option to drop the floor of the trunk down further to provide more space. 

Inside the car itself, the roof height gives a more comfortable ride to taller passengers and there's plenty of leg room for the kids in the back. 

3. Height

We have already mentioned the generous headroom inside the Arona, but the height of the car has other benefits for parents.

The Arona offers extra height in comparison to the hatchback market, making it easier to take your car seats in and out if you're using portable carry cot/car seats. On the flip side, as the vehicle is slightly lower than a larger SUV, it's easy for your independent toddler to clamber into the car themselves.

4. Follow Me Home Lights

Picture the scenario; you've arrived home after a long day and it's dark outside. You're unloading a toddler and a baby from the car, plus all the daily baggage they come with, and trying to ferry everyone back into the house safely. Perhaps the dog is even tottering along behind you.

Trying to do all of this in the dark is not an easy task, so the SEAT Arona offers a feature called 'Follow Me Home Lights'.

After leaving and locking the car via the remote control, the headlights continue to shine for about another two minutes and thus ensure a brightly lit area around the car, a considerable gain in terms of safety and comfort in the dark.

6. Tiredness Recognition System

There's no question about it. Parenting is exhausting. 

The SEAT Arona is here to help. Driving while tired is not safe, but also is sometimes unavoidable as a new parent. SEAT's Tiredness Recognition system keeps and eye on your reactions. If they falter, you'll get an audio and visual reminder to take a break.

Not only that, but you will also be fully equipped with Lane Assist to keep you in lane,  Hill Start Assist to make those uphill struggles a piece of cake and the Front Assist radars detect situations where the distance to the car in front is critical and helps to reduce your car's stopping distance when needed.

Plus, in case of the unexpected, Private Emergency eCall sends data, such as your location directly to Emergency Services, making it easier for them to assist.

7. Keyless Entry

When you're trying to get into your car with 3 bags, a baby in a car seat and a toddler running around your legs, you really don't have a spare hand to unlock your car.

With SEAT's keyless entry, you just need to have the key in your pocket or bag and you can unlock the car by simply touching the door handle. The same applies on exit, just tap the handle to lock the car.

8. Wireless phone charger

Hands up if you've ever forgotten to charge your phone before leaving the house. Or perhaps the kids have drained your phone battery while you've been out and about?

With the Wireless Phone Charger in the SEAT Arona, just pop your phone in the charger and it will power back up as you drive.
