SEAT Ateca Review - Is it as efficient as it claims? - Car Keys

The SEAT Ateca is the Spanish brand’s first ever SUV and has already grabbed headlines and the attention of rival manufacturers.

With a competitively low price and impressive driving dynamics, it offers those who want SUV styling a great rounded package.

We tested the most efficient version of the Ateca to see whether its impressive attributes still apply to those after a frugal motorway slogger.

In this review, we take an in-depth look at the interior of the SEAT Ateca including its boot size, dashboard and back seats. We then run through performance, price and finish up with the all-important verdict - is the SEAT Ateca a good car?

4.7 -> you
21.36 -> the attacker is sayit's first-ever SUV
24.64 -> that's already started to make the later
25.9 -> the kia sportage the Nissan Qashqai and
28.15 -> the Volkswagen Tiguan a little nervous
30.31 -> now we've already had the attacker on
32.23 -> test which is the 1.4 TSI petrol you can
34.989 -> watch that review by clicking here but
37.39 -> we want to get our hands on the most
38.739 -> economical version of the attack and see
40.629 -> first off how efficient it really is I
42.699 -> when the attackers winning attributes
44.5 -> like a low price tag are still we're
46.72 -> shouting about so let's see
50.4 -> [Music]
61.35 -> today we've got the running
63.1 -> cost-conscious 113 brake horsepower 1.6
66.369 -> liter Ecotec diesel which is mated to
68.86 -> the 6-speed manual gearbox now this
71.2 -> diesel is a bit of a mixed bag you see
73.09 -> although it is a diesel you don't get
74.68 -> that trademark low down pull you might
77.05 -> be used to it does pull fairly well you
79.63 -> got two hundred and fifty Newton meters
81.04 -> of torque but there's a sense that when
83.44 -> you've gone it from a standing start
84.49 -> you're not getting all of the engine's
86.77 -> power as if it's being reined in so is
89.35 -> it a bad engine no not at all like I
92.14 -> said this engine is aimed at those who
94.3 -> are concerned with fuel economy and
96.369 -> that's the reason and for the engine
98.32 -> slightly tamer personality and the
100.78 -> bottom line is you actually do get to
102.909 -> achieve the engines claimed 65 miles per
105.909 -> gallon or exceed especially we do a bit
107.979 -> of motorway driving and co2 is quoted at
110.59 -> just 113 grams per kilometer as well now
113.649 -> on a mixture of city and motorway roads
116.02 -> we've been getting anything from between
117.25 -> 55 to 70 miles per gallon what I like
120.25 -> though is that you've got the option to
121.63 -> spruce things up a bit by putting it
123.28 -> into sport mode thanks to the SE out
125.38 -> drive profile this is available and the
127.149 -> mid range SE trim upwards when you do
129.28 -> put it in sport mode you can feel the
131.019 -> restraints of the engine slack a little
132.82 -> you can have a bit more fun with a sharp
134.89 -> a throttle response and way to your
136.329 -> steering ideal when you want to twisty
138.13 -> country road like this the diesels quite
140.53 -> quiet as well which when combined with
142.45 -> the attack is good all-round insulation
144.16 -> is great and like we mentioned in the
146.17 -> other attacker review the ride is
148.209 -> noticeably on the firm side in order to
150.519 -> offer a more entertaining and athletic
152.44 -> Drive something missing from a lot of
154.06 -> its rivals would I sacrifice a smidge of
156.85 -> refinements for a more entertaining
158.109 -> Drive yeah every day of the week
163.77 -> if you're looking for a more affordable
165.21 -> version of the attacker then you might
166.68 -> want to go for this mid-range SE trim
168.51 -> which may look a bit stripped back but
170.25 -> you do still get plenty of kit we'd like
172.05 -> to this eight-inch color touchscreen
173.52 -> which houses Bluetooth you get cruise
175.71 -> control dual-zone climate control and
177.54 -> you also get rear parking sensors say I
180.09 -> do expect customers that go for this
181.47 -> mid-range SC trim to flesh out with
183.78 -> options though with the likes the
185.16 -> convenience pack proven to be a popular
187.2 -> option man's likes of rain sensing
188.91 -> wipers and automatic headlights for 170
191.64 -> pound you can also go for this optional
193.5 -> sat-nav system but that will cost 525
196.59 -> pounds now when it comes space up front
198.66 -> it's really good all-round you've got
200.49 -> plenty of headroom you've also got good
202.23 -> sized door bins and a good sized
203.64 -> glovebox and you've got a large space
205.92 -> here for storing keys your wallet or
208.32 -> some coins space in the rear is pretty
213.42 -> faultless you've got loads a head room
215.43 -> you got loads of leg room you got Lu the
217.26 -> footwell room as well you've also got
219.15 -> this fall down armrest the two
221.1 -> cupholders you've got storage in the
222.75 -> back of these seats some good storage
224.61 -> here and decent sized door bins if you
227.13 -> wanted to you can actually get through
229.05 -> to the booth with this hatch access now
232.17 -> and I have got one complaint about the
233.91 -> rear it's that these seats do feel and
235.89 -> look a bit cheap saying go to the front
238.23 -> seats blushers the caveat of the
240.21 -> attackers lower price tag the boot
243.93 -> spacious as well with 510 litres with
246.96 -> the seats off and 1604 leases with the
249.87 -> seats down now you can opt for a bit of
251.67 -> extra flexibility by going for this
253.29 -> double floor which you can adjust into a
256.5 -> series of different positions and
258.15 -> that'll cost you 115 pound so at entry
262.8 -> level the attacker is cheaper than its
264.9 -> platform sharing Volkswagen Tiguan by
267.12 -> around 4,000 pound in fact but what
269.4 -> about when you compare their frugal
271.32 -> diesel equivalents while the price
273.45 -> difference is actually about the same
274.89 -> and the Volkswagen Tiguan is equivalent
277.14 -> to liter 113 brake horsepower diesel
279.45 -> it's actually slightly less efficient
281.79 -> the Tiguan has got the edge in terms of
284.34 -> luxury though and brand prestige the
287.22 -> question is are these things worth 4,000
289.59 -> pounds to you but it's not just price at
291.69 -> lea tech has got on its side it's also
293.34 -> distinctively more engaging to drive
295.08 -> than the Nissan Qashqai and
297.48 -> I could be a lot better-looking than the
299.13 -> kia sportage to be honest you're gonna
301.92 -> have a hard time finding something you
303.27 -> really don't like about the attack and
304.8 -> it's not just a fire by another aspect
306.51 -> of its design what do you think about
308.61 -> the attacker would you go for one of its
309.72 -> petrol as one of its diesels or one of
311.73 -> its competitors let us know in the
313.23 -> comments section below and don't forget
