Skoda Kamiq
VS
Between the sporty, streetwise SEAT Arona and the sensible Škoda Kamiq, the Arona wins hearts with sharper styling and a livelier chassis that makes every corner a little more fun. The Kamiq, however, is the adult in the room — smarter storage, a bigger boot and a calmer cabin, the pragmatic choice if you’d rather cart kids and shopping than chase Instagram likes.
SEAT Arona
SEAT Ibiza
VS
Think of the SEAT Arona as the chunky crossover that gives you a higher view of the road, more boot space and practical family-friendly packaging, while the SEAT Ibiza is the sharper, lighter hatch that’s more fun to hustle through town and returns better fuel economy. Pick the Arona if you want SUV style and space, choose the Ibiza if steering feel, agility and a lower price tag matter more.
