If you can’t afford to buy and own an entry level Porsche Macan and you really hate the Neesan Qashqai then you might be tempted to go for the SEAT Ateca. It shares the same platform as the Audi Q3 and the Porsche Macan. So you should look at the Ateca as the everymans SUV. And SEAT have just confirmed the UK prices. The entry level SEAT Ateca will cost you the potentially interested punter just under £18k undercutting the Neesan by around £600 GBP. The Ateca can call upon VW sourced engines such as the 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine rated at 113bhp which will form the entry level model lineup. Indeed the Ateca will have the availability of a number of familiar engines for UK punters to choose from such as the 1.4-litre TSI petrol too the 1.6-litre TDi. The ever popular 2.0-litre TDi will be available as 148bhp and 187bhp derivatives. Transmissions will also be sourced from SEAT’s VW parent company from the six-speed manual to the 7-speed dual clutch DSG the later will only be offered to the more powerful model ranges. The Ateca will also be available as either two wheel drive or as a AWD models, only diesel models will get the full 4-wheel-drive treatment. The Ateca’s UK order books are open now with first deliveries scheduled to arrive by the end of the year.
