SEAT Ateca 2.0 TSI petrol 2018 review

SEAT now offers its Ateca SUV with a choice of six engines, two gearboxes and either front or four-wheel drive. On top of that there are five trim choices and countless equipment packages, and if that’s not enough, there’s a 296bhp Cupra version on the way, too.

Those wondering what a fully laden, top-of-the-range SEAT SUV would look like should search no more – as the car you see here is exactly that. Fitted with the most powerful 2.0 TSI petrol engine, a DSG gearbox and 4Drive all-wheel drive, it comes packed with loads of clever kit and convenient features.

The flagship motor is available either in XCellence or FR trims. The latter was added to the Ateca range last summer, and endows the SUV with a sportier stance, stiffer suspension and a lower ride height, as well as body coloured bumper cladding and 18-inch alloy wheels. It’s actually £330 less (or a couple of quid per month) less than the XCellence, but still comes with LED lights, Alcantara seats and an eight-inch media screen.
