Following its European unveiling in
October 2019, the Cupra Ateca Limited Edition has arrived in the United Kingdom
with two versions and the production capped at just 100 of the 1,999 units
available worldwide. For the Ateca Limited Edition in Rhodium Grey, available
in 80 units, customers will pay £ 41,120 – £ 3,755 more than the base Cupra Ateca.
The Graphene Grey version with Akrapovic
exhaust, limited to just 20 cars, costs £ 45,160. That makes
the latter more expensive than the 240 PS Skoda Kodiaq vRS, which
starts at £ 44,065 in the UK. Save some more and you could
get a BMW M2 Competition, which is priced from £ 51,425.
The sporty compact SUV has a copper thread
carbon fiber roof wing for improved aerodynamics, copper thread mirror caps and
‘CUPRA’ lettering, and 20-inch copper alloy wheels. The special look is carried
over inside, with copper carbon fiber moldings and black frames around the
dashboard and infotainment system. Completing the offering are the heated front
sports seats, wrapped in Petrol Blue Alcantara.
The standard Cupra Ateca is powered by a
2.0-liter turbo’d petrol engine churning out 300 PS and 400
Nm of torque. It does the 0-100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds
and maxes out at 247 km/h. The performance has been enhanced in the
limited edition spec with ABT’s power upgrade.
Available at local retailers, it bumps the
output and torque to 350 PS and 440 Nm,
respectively, while also dropping the 0-100 km/h acceleration to 4.9
seconds and lifting the top speed to 255 km/h.
