If December goes in line with the rest of the year, the urban SUV that stars in this article will be the best seller In our country. 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.
This is the SEAT Arona for 7 euros a day
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.
However, not everything is wonderful: the doors are made of hard plastic and the rear doors have a somewhat poor trim. The version on sale is a Reference XM trim. This finish includes as standard a basic 8-inch digital instrumentation and a set of 8.25-inch touchscreen infotainment – Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatible. In addition, it has the basic LED headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels and manual air conditioning. In short, what is necessary for our day to day.
In its driving aids, the involuntary lane departure warning is included, as well as cruise control.
What is the fine print?
As for the offer itself, you have to know that those 7 euros a day correspond to a renting for individuals. That is, a monthly fee of 210 euros, VAT included. Maintenance is included in the rent – without changing tires, everything is said – and vehicle insurance, but this offer limits our annual mileage to only 10,000 km. The offer is for a 36-month leasing contract and requires us to provide a entry of 5,859 euros. At the end of the contract we can return the car to the brand or exercise a purchase option.
