The SEAT Ateca is an SUV model that the Spanish manufacturer introduced to their line-up back in 2016. With the rise of the SUV in popularity worldwide, it’s no wonder most manufacturers moved towards this lucrative option, and SEAT would later add the Arona to this line-up in 2017.
In 2016, the SEAT Ateca made its debut in the SEAT range and really made a splash. SUVs are incredibly popular and the Ateca is an option that is accessible to most drivers and for most budgets so this was immediately something that worked in its favour. The original style of this is very much a copy of the Volkswagen Tiguan with its characteristic trapezoidal lower grille, rear bumper, and rims.
This car debuted with many amazing features such as traffic sign recognition, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, park assist, high beam assist and even LED headlights for a more eco-friendly option. The car is a wonderful choice and one that really appeals to a wide range of drivers.
