The model

Read full review

The Seat Ateca isn’t just great to drive and attractive to look at, it’s also impressively spacious, well equipped and competitively priced. Put simply, if you’re looking for a family SUV that’s also capable of putting a smile on your face, the Ateca needs to be very high on your shopping list.

The trim

SE Technology adds a few more features on top of what you get on SE models, including 18in alloys, a larger 9.2in infotainment system and Seat Connect, which allows drivers to access their driving data remotely via an app.

The engine

See full engine specs

This entry-level 108bhp 1.0-litre petrol engine (badged 1.0 TSI 110) delivers adequate performance without you having to rev the engine hard; it’s ideal if you spend most of your time in town, but once you’re on the motorway, keeping up with faster traffic requires liberal use of your right foot.
