  • SEAT Leon and Ateca models are the great winners at the What Car? Tow Car Awards

    2021 SEAT LeonNew SEAT Leon and Ateca models are the winners at this year’s What Car? Tow Car Awards for Leon in the “Up to 1400kg” category, and the Ateca in the ‘1550–1699kg’ group.

    The new SEAT Leon comes with an elegant new design and an enhanced suite of advanced technologies. Available with petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, the vehicle can also be greately personalized in numerous ways.

    Steve Huntingford, Editor at What Car?, said: Stability is the most important thing when towing, and it can be in short supply when a car is light. However, despite being one of the lightest and most affordable models tested this year, the Leon punches well above its weight, pulling a caravan straight and true at 60mph and beyond. Meanwhile, our practicality testers were impressed by the neatly installed retractable tow ball – not a feature you expect from a car at this price.

    At the same time, the Ateca model brings some freshness to the mid-size SUV market with its perfect blend between urban capabilities and off-road setup. The model was recognized for its agile drivetrain system and the 4WD system, all along with the revised DSG-auto gearbox.

    Commenting on the Ateca’s win, Steve said: Towing also comes easily to the Ateca. Its 2.0 TDI 150PS engine has all the pull you might need to handle any sensibly matched caravan. And even when cruising at the UK towing limit the Ateca feels in complete control.

    A real bonus is how enjoyable to drive both cars are when they don’t have a caravan on the back, given that most tow car drivers will spend far more time in everyday driving than towing.

     

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
