Hip to be square? Funky styling is the Jeep Renegade's trademark, but do recent revisions and a new petrol engine give it the ability to beat the SEAT Arona?

Funky styling is the Jeep Renegade's trademark, but do recent revisions and a new petrol engine give it the ability to beat the SEAT Arona? The performance deficit to the Arona showed in our tests; the Jeep was 1.2 seconds slower from o-6omph, taking 10.4 seconds, for example, while the Arona comfortably beat it by half a second or more in each of our in-gear assessments. The only thing the Arona really misses out on compared with the Jeep is leather upholstery -- but then, the SEAT is £1,915 cheaper to buy. YOU can check out PCP deals for the Arona on the right, and compare them with the Jeep's, but for cash buyers the SEAT will hold on to more money after three years or 36,000 miles, according to our experts.
