Seat Ateca Cupra (spy shot)


The performance-oriented of the Seat Ateca has been spotted on public roads in what is virtually production-ready guise. Seat’s plan to offer a hot Cupra derivative of the Ateca SUV is not exactly a well-kept secret, with several reports and even a sighting during the official press launch of the model.
The upcoming Ateca Cupra is expected to use a 300 hp version of the turbocharged 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine found in the Leon Cupra, which is expected to enable the Spanish SUV to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in around 6 seconds.


The car you see in the photos is finished in a rather tasty matte grey finish, with the body sitting lower to the ground and featuring the usual Cupra treatment, meaning different front and rear bumpers with bigger air intakes, a rear diffuser and quad exhausts. A set of bigger wheels with stickier tires hide behind them a set of bigger Brembo brakes.

The cabin is also expected to feature sportier detailing, including bucket seats, red stitching and a steering wheel with a more sculpted rim. Since the car has been spotted completely undisguised, Seat must be gearing up for the official launch of their hot SUV in the coming weeks.
