The Ateca has gave the SUV market a shake up with it’s very
responsible start price of £17,990 under cutting several SUV manufactures,
including the Nissan Qashqai by over £500 and the Ford Kuga by an impressive
£2,000.
Engines
The new SEAT Ateca is available with a wide range of engines,

A three-cylinder 1.0TSI 115PS is available on the S and SE,
which the 1.6TDI 115PS features on the S and SE models. Upping the power to
150PS brings both the 1.4 Eco-TSI with active cylinder shutdown, as well as the
highly regarded 2.0DI both of which feature across the SE and XCELLENCE trims.
The 2.0TDI 190, is exclusively available on the XCELLENCE and comes with DSG
and 4Drive (SEATS four-wheel drive system). 4Drive is also available as an
option with the 2.0TDI 150.
Success in Europe
In several key European markets which include, France and
Germany, where ordering for the Ateca has already opened is proving a huge hit
even before customers have got behind the wheel. In the UK alone, media pundits
have already begun heaping the praise. Auto express magazine hailed Ateca as an
‘impressive piece of kit’, while the Daily Telegraph hyped it up further with
“in September, SEAT dealers will be very busy indeed.”
