Even though SEAT had started designing its first SUV five years earlier, the Ateca didn't arrive until 2016. As a replacement for the Altea MPV, SEAT attempted to change with the times. Sharing a platform with the Volkswagen Tiguan and using much of the same technology, the Ateca instantly earned positive reviews from drivers. Even though it's still in the first generation, there was an update in 2020 offering a fresh and new look.

Used SEAT Ateca FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the SEAT Ateca?
Even though the diesel engines are more efficient, most people have purchased an Ateca with a petrol powertrain. The petrol-engined Atecas are cheaper to buy and more readily available on the used car market.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Currently, the Ateca is available in six models: SE, SE Technology, FR, FR Sport, XPERIENCE and XPERIENCE Lux. The SE Technology has proven to be the most popular among Ateca owners, with features such as the updated 9.2-inch infotainment system with built-in satnav, proximity sensor and voice control.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for heated front seats, and there's also an electrical tailgate that makes loading and unloading easier. Safety features such as a top view monitor and adaptive cruise control are also worth looking for.
Is the SEAT Ateca a good family car?
With enough space to hold three adults in the back seat, the Ateca is an excellent choice for busy families. The Ateca also has a large amount of boot space – more than the Nissan Qashqai – allowing families to pack their luggage for a weekend holiday.
Is there a hybrid version of the SEAT Ateca?
SEAT hasn't released a hybrid Ateca yet, though one could arrive in the future. For now, the most efficient powertrain is the 1.6-litre TDI diesel motor that delivers 113bhp with an efficiency rating of up to 62mpg.
Is the SEAT Ateca available as an automatic?
There have been DSG automatic and manual gearboxes available with Ateca models. Both are equally popular, so customers shouldn't have trouble finding either.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
Yes, there's a four-wheel drive configuration available with the Ateca models. This option is slightly less popular than the standard front-wheel drive setup, but it does add more traction on slippery surfaces.
