Some six months have passed since the Seat Ateca
Cupra was scooped completely undisguised, but the Spanish brand has yet to
reveal it to the public.
Once it does, we will learn about its
technical specs and sportier cabin, as its exterior design is visible in these
two short films, dominated by the different bumpers on both ends, quad tailpipe
exhaust system, and large wheels that spin around beefier brakes.
Seat are keeping their lips sealed when it comes to
the powertrain, but it's been reported that the new Ateca Cupra will likely use
the 2.0-liter TFSI petrol engine that powers the Leon.
In the updated hot hatch, the mill makes 300 PS and 380 Nm of torque, and it's believed that these numbers will be
retained on the range-topping compact SUV, thus allowing it to go from 0 to
100 km/h in around 6 seconds.
Those who cannot wait for the automaker to launch
the sporty model this year can choose the FR flavor, which is powered by a new
2.0-liter TFSI petrol unit, producing 190 PS. This version can be had
with a manual or a DSG automatic gearbox, and depending how much one is willing
to spend, all-wheel drive system can become part of the package.
