A hard ride with a lot of tyre noise and it was hard to keep the car straight on a potholed road. Very unimpressed by the combination of automatic gearbox and stop/start as these two seemed to fight each other at almost every junction or roundabout, with the engine shuddering to a stop then immediately re-starting. A pity as my old Seat Alhambra is a dream to drive and has been faultless over the last 6 years,

Seat Ateca (2016-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Well equipped | Warranty protection not as long as for Kia or Hyundai |
| Fun to drive | Base 1.0-litre petrol engine can be a bit breathless |
| Spacious for people and luggage | Ride firmer than with some rivals |
Quick Summary
The Seat Ateca (2016-present) is Seat's sporty take on the mid-size SUV segment, sharing major components with the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Karoq. It combines stylish design with an engaging driving experience, offering sharp steering, excellent body control, and spirited turbocharged engines that deliver impressive performance across the range. The 510-litre boot provides competitive cargo space, whilst the five-seat interior comfortably accommodates adults, though some rivals offer slightly more rear legroom. Well-equipped from the base model with automatic city braking and pedestrian detection, higher trims add climate control, touchscreen infotainment with satnav, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
The Ateca excels in driving dynamics, with even front-wheel drive versions offering excellent grip and traction. Fuel economy is respectable, with diesel engines achieving up to 65.7mpg and petrol variants around 52-54mpg in standard tests. Running costs are reasonable, with fixed-price servicing from £175 for minor services. The car earned a five-star EuroNCAP safety rating and was named overall Car of the Year in the 2019 CarGurus Best Used Car Awards. High resale values reflect its popularity, though this means bargains require diligent searching.
Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, fun-to-drive mid-size SUV with excellent practicality, good equipment levels, and strong performance across the engine range.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum rear legroom, the longest warranty protection, or the most comfortable ride quality compared to rivals.
