Seat’s recently launched performance brand has
announced UK pricing and specification details of its first model, the Cupra
Ateca. The new Cupra Ateca is priced from £ 35,900, and that includes
metallic paint and the new Cupra Care service and maintenance package as
standard.
The latter includes the first three scheduled
services, a brake fluid change, the car’s first MOT, European roadside
assistance cover and maintenance jobs such as brake repairs, wiper blades,
air-con service and key fob battery replacements. The pack also includes
repairs to areas like the engine, transmission, suspension, electrics and
cooling.
Standard specification includes a leather steering
wheel with copper stitching, black Alcantara seats and matching door trim,
exclusive 19-inch diamond cut alloys and plenty of gloss black detailing, both
inside and out. Other standard features include keyless entry and start system,
wireless charging, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, DCC
electronically controlled suspension and park assist.
Customers will be offered the choice between six
body colors: Energy Blue, Velvet Red, Brilliant Silver, Rodium Grey, Magic
Black and Nevada White.
Options will include a Comfort&Sound Pack that
features a Beats Audio system, a range of driver assistance systems and a
Design Pack that adds 20-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, a panoramic roof and
a tow bar.
Seat says that the Cupra Ateca offers “the highest
performance of any SUV available outside of premium manufacturers”. Power comes
from a turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI engine that produces 296 hp and 400 Nm of peak torque and is mated to a newly developed seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission, said to offer “faster, smoother and more precise
changes”, and all-wheel drive. The new Cupra Ateca is capable of a 0-100 km/h in 5.4 sec while top speed is 245 km/h. First
deliveries are expected early next year.
