Compare it with the Kia Stonic, Renault Captur and Peugeot 2008, and you’ll find that the Arona isn’t the cheapest small SUV to buy, but at the same time, it certainly isn’t the most expensive. That’s not the full story, either, because the Arona has relatively strong resale values. Combine that with the car’s impressive fuel economy and CO2 figures, plus affordable servicing and repair costs, and you’ll find that the Arona will cost you less overall than most rivals during an average three-year ownership period.
