Je Design has given
the Cupra Ateca a healthy power boost and a visual makeover that makes it a bit
more powerful than G-Power’s proposal. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
that powers the sporty compact SUV now boasts 360 PS and 450
Nm of torque on 98 octane fuel.
The 60 PS and 50 Nm of torque increase has dropped the 0-100 km/h sprint time by 0.4 seconds, to 4.8. Top speed has also gone up from 247
km/h to 259 km/h.
In addition to the
ECU remap, the tuner has equipped the Cupra Ateca with wheel arch extensions
and bumper protections in gloss black or matte silver. The vehicle rides 30 mm
closer to the ground thanks to the lowering springs, and the whole setup
ensures that wheels up to 10×20-inch in size, shod in 275/30 tires, fit just
nicely. Je Design has a couple of 19- and 20-inch rims available for the sporty
Ateca, which can be had with a black silk matte or polished face.
Getting the tuner’s
bundle of aftermarket parts requires spending € 7,103, or
€ 9,093 with the ECU remap and resulting power boost. Prices include
tax but not fitting and painting, so the whole upgrade will probably end up
surpassing the € 10K mark.
