Had one of these as a hire car on holiday. Totally agree, it's a functional, solid easy car to drive. Park assist comes as standard. Having never used park assist before I was blown away his crazily good it is, street parking made simple and it even drives out the parking space too...... Couldn't believe how clever it is. Loved this car, sad to hand it back after a week and return to our old car 😟
Talk about spooky! Me and the Mrs test drove a VW t-roc which is vw's version of this then decided the seat ateca is a slightly cheaper option for us to look at
Just a little observation,mention 110 bhp, couple times ,think that’s the kw figure, like my Leon estate, shame they don’t do a new version based on mk4 Leon , but with the updated infotainment that has the backlights etc , do like your reviews Jim!!
I purchased a 1.5 tsi DSG in Experience trim nearly 12 months ago and it's been a lovely car to drive and own. As I paid cash for the car with no trade in, the clincher for me was that I managed to get a 21% discount on a current plate pre - reg car with delivery mileage only. This 1.5 engine suits the DSG box really well and makes for relaxed driving, on a recent 345 mile trip to Scotland it was averaging 51 -54 mpg on the A1 driving between 65 - 70 mph. Obviously, this drops when you're doing short trips, but overall consumption is pretty good, just a matter of keeping the right foot under control! If there's one little niggle, it would be the later VW infotainment system fitted on the car, I find it not the easiest to navigate, but then again, I am an old codger!! I previously owned a Skoda Karoq with the same engine and gearbox, and I would say that it didn't handle as well on fast twisty roads as the Ateca, but it was a great all rounder. I would definitely recommend anyone to try either car if your looking for a mid size SUV, and I think i'm right in saying that both models are built on the same production line at the factory in the Czech Republic.
liked your video on the seat ateca was informative im due upgrade on my motability car at the mo i drive a skoda kamiq and the seat got more as standard things like reverse camera and park assist which with skoda are options also metallic paint as standard so i did test drive and ordered the 1.5 auto 150 ps engine experience model cant wait. great video
Hi. I want to get the Ateca 1.5 TSI but the one we have in my country is coming only with 8 speed Automatic gear (which is not DSG). Do you happen to know about its performance as compared to the DSG and if this would affect the driving feel and acceleration. P.S. I own a Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 , and i will but the Ateca for my wife and out general use
There's a number 1 showing in top right hand corner of radio display , how do I access what it is ? I tap on it, which any normal person would set it where you tap on the number 1 and it opens up whatever it is , I haven't a clue what it is and try as I might I can't find what it's for and it's driving me nuts
Jim. Nice to see you. Didn’t This come out about 10 cough at least 5 odd years ago. Tiago looks ok. But don’t get these small SUVs. Why ??? They’re tiny. Just get an estate.
The old format of the late 90s early 2000s was more appealing. I mean the one where you reviewed more similar cars but not extremely in-depth. That had a lot of entertainment value. Maybe with a voice over you can tie up together many reviews of modern cars that are similar. Episodes like that at least twice a year would be more charming to watch than individual cars.
I had an Ateca for 7 years and loved it. I changed it for the 2024 model with auto gear box. But I am very disappointed with the sat nav it's dreadful not user friendly at all.
Complex one but the weight reduction can help with tax savings, obviously it costs the manufacturer a bit less too. Majority of new cars are this way now with a spare wheel often an optional extra (really!).

Ordered our Ateca XPERIENCE 1.5 TSI DSG-AUTO on Tuesday can't wait to collect in the Summer 😊
Nice
Get mine next Tuesday, ordered the same one as you.
Got the Xperience Lux 1.5 and have to say it is the best car I have owned in 52 years of driving. An amazing car in every way.
i'm thinking of getting this car. have you run into any issues with the front assist/ emergency braking system?
@@cryptokingz615 never had any problems with it.
I agree with that!...very easy to drive.
Picked up my Ateca Fr in velvet red on the 29th absolutely loving it

did you run into any issues with the front assist/ emergency braking system?
Yeah, as previously said, 110 PS is for the 1.0 turbo, the 1.5 turbo is 150 PS 12:48

Great review! Is this car the same as the 2020 facelift model?
Very modest car for a southern millionaire Jim, it suits you 😉
😂 it’s no M7
Great vid on a solid car 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Thanks 🙏
Cup holder situation is woeful.
can i change to 20” rims?

It's probably the best review of SEAT ATECA I have seen so far. And I have seen tons of them....I want the ATECA to be my next company car 👍
We're glad you liked it! 😎

Ateca is a good car, no bad surprise...
Nice 🇸🇦
The 19 inch wheels don't cope well with the road surface, you tend to feel every bump.
I had an Ateca for 7 years and loved it. I changed it for the 2024 model with auto gear box.
But I am very disappointed with the sat nav it's dreadful not user friendly at all.
It's a 110kw,150 hp 250 nm motor.
Pretty sure the Ateca doesn't come with the 3 cylinder 110 hp...
Why is android auto always wired
Decent car , basic solid easy car to drive , But we'll over priced ?
Why does the car not come with a spare wheal
Complex one but the weight reduction can help with tax savings, obviously it costs the manufacturer a bit less too. Majority of new cars are this way now with a spare wheel often an optional extra (really!).
£120 option.. I got one!
Because there is market for it 😂🤣😂
Errmmmm if you really did your research, the Ateca's have had huge problems with their entertainment systems..
No they don't 😂
I found this information on the web after i bought my Ateca, but have never experienced any issues. Must have been resolved via updates.
3 years and 39000 into a 2021 FR4 Sport with no issues with the infotainment or anything else ..
Just stupid people on forums talking rubbish. Never Google ' problems ' because you will them on there, even if they don't exist.
Has this guy got the correct information on his cards 😂
