The Seat Ateca 1.6 TDI Style seems to be anything but the "basic" version: the standard equipment is satisfactory, and the 1.6 TDI with 116 hp - lively, supple and not very thirsty. Space on board is also good, where even two adults are more than comfortable in the back. Quality finishes and soundproofing.
SUV, but compact, urban or off-road depending on the needs. There seat Ateca this is new (and first) Utility in the seatready to supplant the C-segment of SUVs. It is worth noting that the Ateca is based on the modular platform Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq, but the Spaniard is the most compact of the three. Measure 436 cm long e 184 in widthso it is shorter than Tiguan 13 cm. It is also the sportiest in appearance, younger, more streamlined. Aesthetics that reflect the sporty soul of a brand committed to motorsport.
Our test version is 1.6 TDI 116 CV Style with front-wheel drive and manual transmission, which will be the most popular in our market; if desired, there is also a 2.0 TDI with 150 and 190 hp, also with all-wheel drive and a DSG gearbox.
city
La seat Ateca he tolerates the city well, both because of its small size and the ease with which it is governed. The steering, clutch and gearbox have the lightness, linearity and power steering that are characteristic of Volkswagen Group vehicles. Another argument in favor of this car is the remarkable steering angle, which allows it to casually turn and reverse. IN 1.6 TDI with 116 hp this is an excellent ally, although not impressive in performance, at least on paper (0-100 km / h for 11,5 e 184 km / h), but still shows a good shot and good exposure. Most important, however, is flexibility and quietness, essential qualities in everyday driving. That's right, traffic: The Ateca is compact for an SUV and therefore (relatively) easy to park in tight spaces, the sensors are thankfully also standard. Style.
Outside the city
La seat Ateca Best of all, it manifests itself in medium-long trips and on public roads, but it looks good even in a mixed one. In fact, the curves do not bother her at all.; even if it turns out to be assembled and maneuverable if it is “launched” in a turn (it weighs only 1350 kg). It's the same with the shock absorbers, which provide a high level of comfort but are capable of holding most of the Ateca firmly in corners without swaying.
You can also play around with the steering wheel in different driving modes, which will make the accelerator more responsive, the steering more consistent and, if you have a DSG gearbox, sportier shift logic. Maybe it's not among SUV more fun, but this is a car that will satisfy everyday driving and handle any type of road perfectly. IN 1.6 TDIIn addition, it does not seem small at all for the Ateca and guarantees adequate performance. It has a lot of torque and good response from 1.500 rpm, and while it doesn't have a lot of range, it has smooth and smooth revs.
шосе
The Ateca has good sound insulation, which is undoubtedly an advantage when driving at a speed of 130 km / h on the motorway. Then there is nothing to blame them for, as in the millstones, except for a slight rustle. Consumption is also good: on the highway at a cruising speed of more than 17 km / l.
Life on board
Il family feeling this is very clear: the interiors of Ateca are almost transplanted from Leon, and this is not bad at all. Volkswagen quality is all there (soft plastics, controls uniformity, ergonomics), but the palm design is more streamlined and less rational than the Tiguan. There is room for everyone, even in the back, where two adults don't have to complain about the lack of space even in height. IN 510-liter trunk then it is very "square" and easily accessible, and if desired, you can get to 1500 liters when folding the seats, It is enough to load suitcases for four people.
Price and costs
La seat Ateca with equipment Style On the contrary, it doesn't look "basic" at all. She was meant to be effective and attractive installationrather than to induce you to buy the top one. It already has basic amenities like cruise control, an infotainment system with radio and 6 speakers, light and rain sensors, 17-inch wheels (which make them look like), a multifunction leather steering wheel and a dual-zone climate. for these reasons list price 25.875 euro it is very attractive and competitive. So the 1.6 TDI has the advantage that it doesn't feel thirsty, and if you're careful about driving, you can almost handle it. 20 km / l (the house declares 22 km / l in the combined cycle).
