Seat Ateca (UK)
With their first crossover
model around the corner, Seat UK announced pricing and range details for the
new Ateca.
The Nissan Qashqai-rivaling
Seat will be offered initially in four trim levels, including a special ‘First
Edition’, details of which will be announced on a later date.
Customers will be able to
choose between five engines, including a three-pot turbocharged 115 PS 1.0-litre
TSI, a 150 PS 1.4-litre TSI, a 115 PS 1.6-litre TDI and a 2.0-litre TDI with
150 PS and 190 PS. The latter will be offered only in 4WD guise with a
double-clutch DSG transmission.
A choice of eleven paint
colors will be available, six of which to be offered for the first time in a
Seat. Every Ateca will come equipped as standard with safety features like
Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Protection, plus
Tiredness Recognition.
The entry-level Seat Ateca
will start at £ 17,990, over £ 500 cheaper than the Nissan Qashqai and around
£ 2,000 less than the Ford Kuga, revealing the aggressive strategy the company
is going to follow. The range-topping 190 PS diesel version will cost £ 29,990.
UK orders begin in May 3rd
with the first cars set to arrive in the UK on September.
