  • SEAT boost the appeal of Ateca and Tarraco lineups

    2021 SEAT ATECASEAT team adds new technology to the mid-size and large SUVs, the Ateca and Tarraco models for the 2022 model year.

    Ateca XPERIENCE Lux now comes with the brand’s Pre-Crash Assist safety system as part of the standard equipment. The way the system works is quite smart – it uses the data from the forward-facing camera and prepares the occupants inside the vehicle for an oncoming collision by tightening the seatbelts and closing the windows, and also reduces the overall car speed by activating the emergency braking system.

    Also, the Ateca XPERIENCE Lux will offer a sporty leather steering wheel and gear-shift paddles, all in addition to the autonomous braking system.

    As it comes to the Tarraco model, it benefits from SEAT Connect as a standard feature and from Adaptive Cruise Control and different pricing plans.

    The SEAT Ateca has been named Used Car of the Year at the 2021 What Car? Used Car Awards.

    The coveted award is the latest of a number already in the SEAT Ateca’s trophy cabinet, which was also named Small SUV of the Year by What Car? shortly after its launch in 2016.

    The Ateca has since earned critical acclaim from across the industry, while orders have recently opened for the New SEAT Ateca in September.

    With 18 What Car? Used Car of the Year categories up for grab, a panel of experts considered the all-round ability, value, and the availability of desirable versions to select the eventual winners, with the Ateca named the overall winner.

    In particular, What Car? praised the Ateca for offering one of the most enjoyable driving experiences in its class, without compromising on ride comfort, alongside a unique combination of all-round desirability, practicality, and outstanding value for money.

    As an overall winner, the Ateca was also named Family SUV of the Year while its smaller sibling, the Arona, brought home the Best Used Small SUV award.

    Similar to its bigger brother, the Arona was recognized for its outstanding driving experience as well as class-leading practicality.

    The awards build on SEAT’s established recognition in the used car market, with the previous generation Leon also being named What Car?’s Used Car of the Year in 2018.

    Mark Pearson, Haymarket Automotive’s Used Cars Editor, said: “Here is an immensely likable family SUV that can now be bought for under half what you’d need to buy one new. None of the other category winners could match its combination of all-round desirability, practicality, and excellent value for money. It’s great to drive, too, with top-notch handling and a range of punchy and efficient engines. On top of that, it’s comfortable, reliable and its interior is both spacious and well equipped.”

    Richard Harrison, SEAT UK Managing Director, said: “SEAT entered a new era with the launch of its first-ever SUV, the Ateca, which brought some much-needed fun and sizzle into the SUV segment. That winning formula, also since mirrored with its Arona and Tarraco SUV siblings, has taken the UK market by storm, with consistently strong demand for Ateca in the new and used car markets.”

    “It’s tremendous the strengths of our SUV range is being recognized in the used car market and shows SEAT is leading the way with offering a lasting quality product, that puts a smile on your face for many years. These awards give further confidence to used car customers that they can rely on SEAT cars to deliver class-leading design, driver-appeal, engineering, and technology.”

    Purchasing an Approved Used Ateca or Arona from a SEAT retailer ensures the buyer gets a full-service history check and comprehensive multipoint check with every car, minimum 12-month Warranty, and Roadside Assistance, along with a 12 month MOT protection policy worth up to £750. Customers also benefit from complimentary five-day Drive Away Insurance and a 30-day exchange promise if the vehicle does not meet expectations.

    Customers that purchase an Approved Used SEAT from a participating retailer will benefit from an extra year of Approved Warranty and MOT protection, be able to purchase two services for £79, as well as take advantage of a 6.9 percent APR finance offer on all vehicles up to five years old.

  • With a touch of styling: DF Automotive tweaks the already sexy SEAT Ateca

    2017 DF Automotive Seat Ateca XcellenceThere is one single Seat Ateca Xcellence that appears to be a rather lucky one. You ask why? Because, my friends, DF Automotive, the fine tuner from Flensburg, decided to take a closer look at the machine and see how it could be transformed for the better. There were tweaks mainly on the drivetrain system, but as you will see, the DF Automotive presence is visible also on the outside of the vehicle.

    2017 DF Automotive Seat Ateca Xcellence

    Long story short, the revised Ateca is now faster, more agile and far more confident on the road. Short story long, the engineering team has changed and tweaked numerous components. First of all, the original 2.0 TDI now delivers a total of 213hp (157kW) and 460Nm of torque. This means a kick of additional 63hp and 120Nm of torque. Greatly appreciated. Furthermore, the vehicle received fresh new KW coil-over suspension. And all this is topped with Hankook tires type Ventus S1 Evo in 235/35ZR20 (92Y) on polished gloss black MSW 48 rims in 8,5×20.

  • Seat Ateca First Edition is the SUV designed by YOU

    Seat Ateca First Edition side and front viewSeat Ateca was definitely one of those vehicles we didn’t see coming. With its big proportions and great SUV-stance the vehicle mesmerized the audience immediately. Following the huge debut success, the compact SUV was made even more attractive with its “First Edition” specification. Well, it is an time for Seat to announce the detailed specification and pricing for this one-off trim level, isn’t it?

    The extremely well-specified and striking First Edition is made exclusive with just the single fact that it will be produced in just 200 examples. In fact, the Fist Edition of the Ateca model was created with the help of 13,000 British citizens, who told Seat which are the most appealing characteristics of a compact SUV that can be used in the day-to-day life.

    So they had to respond to a series of seven questions about their lifestyles and character, with 192 possible outcomes. After they finished the task, the online system then generated an Ateca version to suit their specific needs. One of the most liked designs was proved to be the ‘Horizon Chaser’.

    And the best thing is that it is now translating into a production car with the following standard equipment: 18-inch bi-color alloy wheels, satellite-navigation system with an eight-inch touch screen, Keyless entry (KESSY), electric tailgate with virtual pedal, rear parking sensors with rear view camera, dark-tinted rear windows, black roof rails and window surrounds.

    The customers will be able to choose from three exterior colors: Nevada White, Rodium Grey and Samoa Orange. Although it is below the top-of-the-range XCELLENCE trim level, the First Edition is positioned above the SE and has higher specifications within almost the same pricing. What’s left unmentioned is that the Ateca First Edition will be equipped with either of two engines: the 1.0 TSI with 115PS and the 1.6 TDI with the same power output. The pricing begins at £21,995 and £24,305 respectively.
