All SEAT models

Start with what the SEAT Ateca is: a 5-door SUV with 1.0 L TSI 115 I3, built from 2016 to 2026, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Xavier Guinart under Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos.

Where it came from

The SEAT Ateca is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured by Spanish automaker SEAT. The brand's first SUV offering, the Ateca is built on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform and sits in the C-SUV segment, between the Arona and Tarraco within SEAT's crossover SUV lineup. It was unveiled as a production vehicle on 1 March 2016 in Barcelona.

Under the skin

The engine is 1.0 L TSI 115 I3; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Drive goes through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / 7-speed Direct-shift gearbox / DSG (2017 - 2020) / 8-speed Automatic gearbox (2021 - present). The wheelbase is 2638 mm.

In context

In the SEAT line-up the SEAT Ateca has a clear place: it replaced the SEAT Altea; it handed the line to the Cupra Terramar (for Cupra Ateca); the factory was Kvasiny. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Chevrolet Bolt, the Tesla Model 3, the Ferrari 488. Nearby in the SEAT catalogue sit the SEAT 124 and the SEAT 133.
