  • This is the new Cupra Ateca! Not to be confused with the SEAT Ateca, the Cupra version is a 300hp SUV that has what it takes to compete with the likes of the Golf R! But with such a similar price, coupled with the ability to add ABT tuning for a small price, would you choose the SUV over the hot hatch? Join Mat and see what you think!

    I drive a Seat Ateca 1.4 tsi Xcellence and really like it. Notably, it has full leather seats (heated up front) as well as the nice stitching, flat bottomed steering wheel, 8" touch screen infotainment system, wireless charging and "pulsating stop/start button" 😁. On average it returns 45mpg and handles better than its other brand rivals even at this level. Sport mode is available which gives it a little more ooompf and tightens the steering if the mood strikes. Maybe a sign of being boring and sensible, but with all the speed cameras out there it's hard for me to see the advantage of accelerating any faster and suffering the low mpg/high annual tax figures of the Cupra. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!

      PhizzyP it will. The minivan boomed in the 80s because young buyers then didn’t want what their mummies and daddies drove-the estate. That led to the demise of the estate as a mainstream family car. Then by the 2000s, the generation who grew up around the minivan didn’t want the minivan anymore and thus migrated to the SUV and crossover. Soon enough when kids today grow up they won’t want hulking SUVs or hatchbacks on stilts and will move back to conventional saloons and estates.

    I test drive this one. It is a really good ride. Probably for someone who needs/wants SUV but also wants a sporty car.
    In Switzerland, new ones can be had already from 45'000CHF, ABT prepared ones are at 47'000+.
    For the same money, there is not so much of the choice there.
    For about 10K more you might get Audi SQ2 or Jaguar E-Pace or Volvo XC60.
    However, if 280PS is enough for you then you might want to check Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 that is about the same price.
    And I think, those two are direct competition, but also different takes on that segment. I would go for Stelvio as the interior just feels much better.

    I think it's interesting that they branched the company off for cupra instead of cupra version of a seat, money spinner but it's a good move I think like if audi made the rs brand as a different company or BMW just made msport as a different company it would be cool

    Wtf are those fake air vents in the rear bumper! They look horrific, even if they were real!

      @Epitome Mainly referred to Honda Civics that are modified by drilling holes in the rear bumper.

    Funny concept of a car. (Race track mode in a SUV.) :D
    But I think it looks at least decent and isn't that expensive for people who want a beefy SUV.

    This thing is quick - 4.4 Sec to 100Km/h in a 5 seater SUV with 4 wheel drive for about 33 British K´s - I find that quite impressive even that I do not fancy SUV´s. I do look quite decent for an SUV - good stance and a simple sharp profile.

    But how big is the boot? Do the rear seats fold down?
