These are always the best reviews. A lot of the American reviews are a bit too commercial and the English ones are just sarcastic and try to imitate that annoying Top Gear manner of speaking. Autogefuhl gives in depth reviews without the bull crap.
The LED lights and interior ambient lights we have shown very well in our first review by the way, also worth watching! ua-cam.com/video/zFa9mNGowLE/v-deo.html
I ordered one in that SamoaOrange, I love it! I ordered it with the Xcellence pack (full option) with brown leather seat and the exclusive rims. I can't wait :-)
@@dragospahontu Make sure to buy that one then! I was perfectly happy with my Seat! I did sell it after four yrs. Because i'm on the lookout to something different. I sell my cars every four to five yrs. I having a difficult time now with all the "electric" cars coming up. Not sure what my next buy will be.
@@DBLCreations Although ioniq 5 and ld3 & id 4 have batteries from SK ionvation, ioniq 5 has the silicon carbide inverter and are very efficient, on 800v. id is shit when charging in winter with small and medium battery. If you want an electric car that isn't a Tesla, Kia/Hyundai is you're best bet but I wouldn't buy an EV in the next 20 years because they have a long way to go.
@@dragospahontu Yeah i know, it's just with all the regulations in Europe that it's becoming difficult. Honestly, i'm just looking at Audi at this moment, i really like their design of cars. I like VW as well but it's all about preference of course.
Excellent choice of colour/trim/options Thomas. You have chosen a very classy and quite premium looking package. Interior is not the most dynamic, but the contrast of black gloss with the chrome accents gives the impression of a classy and again quite premium looking interior. I really like the view of the door mirrors from the inside with the blue exterior colour.
With the new Ateca Seat has designed a very dynamic and worth seeing SUV!! Maybe I would prefer the 2.0TSI with 190hp for this car. But I can say that the 1.4TSI is a really comfy and torquey engine!!
Thank you Thomas. A thorough review. We’re looking at moving on from our 2009 Renault Grand Scenic. We tried a Koleos but it was just too big. I thought the BMW series 2 active tourer looked great but found it rather fidgety and not a brilliant driving position. A 2018 one of these seems the right price. Thanks for explaining all the excellence features which i hope the one we choose will have. Best wishes, Philip
Fine review there. I've ordered the xcellence with only the upgrade executive in Bila white. Hope it wil be coming in januari. It was a very fine car to drive. More quiet and comfortable in every way than the Golf Variant BMT 1.2 I have now for almost 5 years.
Hi Stefan, finally a proper review - thank you for that! I ordered 1.4tsi DSG 4WD version in Nevada white, 19", sunroof etc. In my opinion 1.4tsi is a better choice as 2.0tdi is noisy and the consumption is not that different. Diesel is not worth it if you live and drive daily in a city. Also based on the tests that I have seen 2.0tdi is heavier. 1,4tsi Fwd with 18" should be the best option though. Also 1 remark to 0-100km/h - 8,5 is great - just look at the other cars like Tucson, Kadjar, Quasquai - they are all much less powerful :-)
I apologize not sure why I called you Stefan :D Anyways I have seen all your reviews :-) this one is the best one for me as you covered everything I wanted to know. There is 1 thing I have not seen in any of the tests - night video with test of LED lights.
great review Thomas, as always. love your channel. keep up the good work! pretty cool suv btw, love the shape, lines and the engine, 4x4 1.4Tsi DSG for me :) grusse aus Untersteiermark (Slowenien).
Great review Thomas ! I must admit, is not my favourite compact SUV from the VAG, but it has an excellent blue colour ( I love also the red one) and it has a great mix between alcantara and cloths for the seats. At this moment I prefer the combination 2.0 TDI 190 HP 4X4 and DSG and I'm waiting to see, the review of my favourite biggest compact SUV on the market : The new SKoda Kodiak and the comparison between the them .
Is it lava blue? Yes! And I too was surprised when mine was delivered, since the catalogue shows a much lighter shade. Nice colour, though. Mine is a 190 TDI with, of course, a DSG box. My previous car was a 130 TDI old model Tiguan Escape, and I was immediately struck by how much more agile, sharp handling and refined the Ateca is. It’s also a lot faster, even left in Eco mode, and significantly more economical, despite having almost 50% more power. I’ve owned the car for over two years now, and love it.
we do already the 1.0TSI and it drives great! better than the 1.2TSI Altea XL, our car before... the motor sound is fantastic, also the performance and fuel consumption. it is our 2nd car, besides an A4 avant (2013), and we are totally happy with it :-)
yes, die day2day driving it is absolutely perfect. we selected "style" plus a big package (Austria) plus a few things more and that was perfect... forgot to write: the smalest engine also is the lightest car. so the overall weight is about 1.285kg and therefore it is really good to drive :-)
nice review, can't wait for the Kodiaq to view the review, here in "ex-yugoslavia" we love only TDI, and the diesel fuel is much cheaper then petrol 0.8 E per L, not many TSI are on the street and its harded to sell it later on
Nice reviews, the last time I checked your reviews it was for the Octavia VRS and I ended up buying one! Think the Kodiaq will be my preference but enjoyed the video.
Seen one of these today as I was looking for a Leon ST FR, it is a great looking suv. After look at Octavias the day before, it's very šcoda inside. Which is no bad thing at all.
So Thomas has a favorite pumpkinseedoil.... Why not... (I guess I found a subject to Google about tonight) Hmm, I feel like it's been a long while since we've seen a new Seat. Good to see they are still trying. Although it will take more than this. In a webitem of Autoweek (Dutch Autobild) not too long ago, the journalists were asked if they really had to pick one brand to not exist anymore which one would it be. Both of them picked Seat. Pity, because they brought great designs in the '00s. I wonder why they stopped doing the artsy stuff and became a general brand that really doesn't seem to add anything to VAG. They should go head to head with the likes of Citroën imho, and aim at design. Because right now, I'm not sure what the added value is next to Škoda. This review shows that they can make very decent cars, so it's a pity that in a lot of countries the sales have been decimated and most people don't even consider the brand when buying a car.
We have a similar or rather the same region extending into Slovenia here. Really beautiful countryside also famous for wine and pumpkin seed oil =) Looking at that video almost makes me think its filmed in my country :)
I'd be keen to understand the main differences between the VW R-Line trim/range and the Seat Xcellence trim/range. As far as I can tell Adaptive Cruise is standard on R-Line but optional on the Seat equivalent. Great review nonetheless!
Hi Thomas! Great video, I'm a big fan of the channel. Just a detail, in Spain they call this color MEDITERRANEAN BLUE, the LAVA BLUE is a much more light color, almost a sky blue
You should include an index as you do sometimes in other videos. Sometimes the videos seems too long for me and I want to speed ahead. Nothing against you...love the car, by the way. I want it!!
I cast the youtube videos to my television so that's why I can't scroll through the video looking at the thumbnail view while scrolling. I have to start moving the scroller to more or less know where I want to go and move back and forth.
Hey Tomas, both the Ateca and Peugeot 3008 have been on the market now for over 2 years - in hindsight what do you consider to be the better car ? also would you consider a revised new review for the Ateca with the new 1.5 tsi engine in ?
Whilst I admire your stance on avoiding leather Thomas I must point out that we don't always have a choice. The excellence trim in the UK for example comes with leather and that is it, no choice, no options. If I picked cloth I would have to go for a lower trim then add options to make the car match the higher spec vehicle which adds up to a more expensive vehicle than just buying the car with the excellence trim.
Indeed a weird market strategy which we have already criticized. That's really sad. You should give this feedback to the dealer and the manufacturer as a customer
Sadly any such complaints tend to fall on deaf ears in the UK but I will feedback my opinion. The UK branch of many vehicle manufacturers seem to have a really weird mind set. They give us fewer options than EU customers yet claim it designed to make things easier for the customer, it's nonsense of course. I think pressure to change and give UK buyers more choice can only really come from the top down since they seem to take very little notice of individual customer complaints. Great review by the way as always.
Thanks. I love how you take the time to go over each feature. excellence 1,4 TSI DSG already ordered. I have one question for you. Is the dry gearbox a concern or is that in the past?
Hi Thomas i will be changing my Moka 1.4. Turbo at the end of the year. Do you think this car would be a suitable replacement.My wife and i are pensioners, and like a higher exit and entry car, with front and rear sensors. I feel with your experience in driving different types of cars, your advice would be invaluable to my decision making, for my next car.Thank you
Great review as always, thank you Thomas. I was also delighted to hear that you ride downhill! Is the Ateca a car you would consider personally as a daily driver (70km daily commute) for a downhiller with (not yet) one kid? I'd probably go for the 190hp Diesel since the smaller one will not be avilable until Q2 2017.
:-) that should work ! Ofc you have to demount the front tyre but that will be fine then. To be honest, I once put the bike in a Seat Ibiza Cupra :DD (did work with half of the bike in the back of the front seat)
Super review as usual Thomas. I've got my 1.4 Xcellence in Samoa Orange ordered, hoping for delivery in November. Do you know if they all come with an electric tailgate or is it just when you add the optional virtual pedal?
thanks Stuart! Electric Tailgate is optional. As for me, I would always pick the manual one, because if you put stuff in the rear (e.g. mountainbike) the electric close could force-close-damage something
I'm surprised they combined AWD with the 1.4TSI ! I prefer a FWD in that case. The engine isn't high on torque and turns into a fuel sucker if it's AWD. The 2.0TDI (150hp) makes more sense with AWD IMO For the car itself, it's a nice niche below the Tiguan.
If it's the same as the 1.4 in the (150bhp) in the new Octavia s (think is just s) it isn't torquy at all. It's decent to get going and round town and country lanes, but is out of its depth on a motorway. Your forever dropping down to 4th. But if you do little motorway drives the 1.4 (150bhp) is more than fine. If you are doing a lot of miles a 2l diesel is what you want.
hi Tom, did but hear anything about the color or read it in the comments: is this lava blue? my wife decided to buy the metallic white one, because there have been no other live pictures out in June (when we ordered). but we added the chrome front and back with the blue line and blue side screens, do it looks cool never the less ;-) but which color this is?
It depends on their construction. Some LEDs are good, some are bad. Some xenons are good, some are bad. Unfortunately Seat's LEDs are pretty bad. In the Leon halogens are better than LEDs...
Hi Thomas are you allowed to give your opinion on the difference between the Seat Ateca or the Vauxhall Grandland X.ive watched your reviews, and as usual im very impressed. My main reason for asking you this question, is that when you carried out the review on the Grandland X Automatic gear box, you weren't sure if it was the best or words to that effect.As it won't select the gear u want, unless you take your foot off the brake to make your selection then put it back on ti the brake again. That would put me off, as surely it should be the same as the Moka and the new Suv.that they've now introduced on to the market.Is it the Crossland X.car.? Thank you in advance.👍
If you want something that is well built buy a Honda CR-V. It has a beautiful naturally aspirated engine with an efficient hybrid system. It gets 3.4L/100km in the city! TSI gets 11L/100km!!!
Hi Thomas, Since Both Seat leon 5 dr and Seat Ateca relatively start at same price, which one would you recommend the most? I am aware that its a comparison between Hatchback Vs SUV but which is more fun to drive , practical and over all better between two?
Hi Thomas! You're doing a great job, I love your reviews. I want to ask you this: What do you think that is a good idea to choose a car between Seat Ateca, Skoda Kodiaq or Kia Sportage. I want a family car, with automatic transmission and a relative good fuel consumption. I make around 15.000 km / year. Petrl or dieasel. Thank you very much and I am a fan of you-re channel. Keep up the good work and sorry if my english is a little bad :D ... All the best!
Hi Thomas, great in-depth review as always. Between Kadjar (Icon 1.5 dCi EDC 110bg) and Ateca (Xcellence 1.6 TDI 115bg) which one you would pick? By the way I would pick the red color for both :D
Yes I did, and I even test drived the Kadjar but now Ateca seems like better than Kadjar. Only downside is that Ateca 1.6 TDI is not offered with DSG and TSI consumption will be an expensive option for me (fuel prices in Turkey is crazy, diesel is much cheaper).
Hi Thomas, just a curious about knowing how you know if the car is traveling on 2 or 3 cylinders etc. Im just interested to know how you know this. Does it show up on the dashboard, when you ease of the throttle.?
Hi. thanks for the excellent review. i am about to buy a new one 1.4 with FR trim but it comes with 19 inch low profile tyres. I am not sure if this will be a rough drive on the roas and want to have your recommendation if I can go with this option or i should go with style plus trim with 17 inch tyre. please advise.
Hi Thomas, wie empfandest du das Fahrwerk bzw. die Dämpfung des Ateca?? War sie dir zu straff, oder ist sie ein gelungener Kompromiss? Gruß und macht weiter so! 👍
Thomas, I know that you preferred TSI, but I am in need for TDI 150hp because I do a lot of daily autobahn distance, traveling a lot, and my family is 1000km from where I am living. So next week I should order Ateca 2.0TDI 150hp, but I am little concerned that it is a bit noisy and not so smooth. What do you think, I would appreciate your answer. tnx

I think jungle green looks best on the Ateca, it's a very beautiful color, doesn't stand out much but it is 'different' enough.

After this test, i start to love blue again, great color! 😀
Another great review. I really like this guy and his attention to detail.
thanks, please share =)
Hello, Thomas! Trance, Thomas? Good review and music, Thomas!
👌
Fantastic review Thomas. Loved the music! Many thanks to all the team. What do you think of the 1.0tsi?
thanks andrew! Couldnt test it yet, no vehicle of those on location. We ll get hands on the 1.0 later for sure !
we do already the 1.0TSI and it drives great! better than the 1.2TSI Altea XL, our car before... the motor sound is fantastic, also the performance and fuel consumption.
it is our 2nd car, besides an A4 avant (2013), and we are totally happy with it :-)
Hi. Many thanks for the feedback. It might bring the Ateca into my budget. :-)
yes, die day2day driving it is absolutely perfect. we selected "style" plus a big package (Austria) plus a few things more and that was perfect...
forgot to write: the smalest engine also is the lightest car. so the overall weight is about 1.285kg and therefore it is really good to drive :-)
Excellent, thank you.
I really like the color, but isn't it mediterranean blue rather than lava blue?
Always my favourite reviews...Autogefühl

Great review. I like this car and love the seats.
appreciated !
Well done Thomas great review.!!!
It will be nice to see a compare video with the ateca, Q2, vitara in order to see which is the best!!
thanks! Did you check out our Q2 and Vitara review?

Good review as usual, , keep going with the good job !
Hey Tomas, both the Ateca and Peugeot 3008 have been on the market now for over 2 years - in hindsight what do you consider to be the better car ? also would you consider a revised new review for the Ateca with the new 1.5 tsi engine in ?
Compared our 3008 reviews? Both are nice, ateca is sportier, 3008 has more unique interior

Great review as always! Is there any possibility you could do the Skoda Octavia Style?
The best Spanish car
Nothing spanish other than the brand
Designed, manufactured and distributed in Barcelona, Spain. With Volkswaguen engines.

Ateca is produced at Škoda factory in Kvasiny, Czech Rep.
Nope, in Martorell, Barcelona.
I second sashbar, Ateca is produced in Kvasiny, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEAT_Ateca .
Thanks. I love how you take the time to go over each feature. excellence 1,4 TSI DSG already ordered.
I have one question for you. Is the dry gearbox a concern or is that in the past?
+Koen van Hees they say they fixed overheating issues
Autogefühl is this confirmed info about fixed problems of dry gearbox? by the way great chanel;) hi from poland;)
“Would you choose the excellence over the FR ? And why?
The blue colored Ateca is 'Mediterranean Blue' and not 'Lava Blue' btw.

Ur a great reviewer but I could please request that you make a summary video for the Ateca

yes I really like the Ateca!
For £18k that's a great start!

Nice review! :-) Consumption after all with the 1.4 TSI 4Drive?
thanks! remarks on consumption are in the video
Seat ateca priced way lower than the karoq? Wow. Wish we had this in Australia
Great review as always, thank you Thomas. I was also delighted to hear that you ride downhill! Is the Ateca a car you would consider personally as a daily driver (70km daily commute) for a downhiller with (not yet) one kid? I'd probably go for the 190hp Diesel since the smaller one will not be avilable until Q2 2017.
:-) that should work ! Ofc you have to demount the front tyre but that will be fine then. To be honest, I once put the bike in a Seat Ibiza Cupra :DD (did work with half of the bike in the back of the front seat)

thanks Stuart! Electric Tailgate is optional. As for me, I would always pick the manual one, because if you put stuff in the rear (e.g. mountainbike) the electric close could force-close-damage something
Can we get the Ateca with heated steering wheel?
Is this infotainment system from VW group? Very similar.
Of course, only the UI graphics are changed.
Of course it is, Seat is a part of the VW Group.
I really like this SUV.
i imagine that the Ateca and Skoda Kodiaq share the same platform? So the interior dimensions are identical?
Kodiaq is much bigger.
Dear sir. could you please compare the insulation and trim noises with golf 7. Thank you.
Can we hear ther tyre and road noise inside the cabin
Thomas would you buy this car with this configuration?
+Erkan Koprulu yeah
Thanks :)
Speaking of pumpkins, that color definitely reminds me of them :D
I'm surprised they combined AWD with the 1.4TSI ! I prefer a FWD in that case. The engine isn't high on torque and turns into a fuel sucker if it's AWD. The 2.0TDI (150hp) makes more sense with AWD IMO
For the car itself, it's a nice niche below the Tiguan.
2.0 TDI is noisy and heavier... 1.4tsi is a better choice.
1.4 TSi is actually quite torquy engine.
If it's the same as the 1.4 in the (150bhp) in the new Octavia s (think is just s) it isn't torquy at all. It's decent to get going and round town and country lanes, but is out of its depth on a motorway. Your forever dropping down to 4th. But if you do little motorway drives the 1.4 (150bhp) is more than fine. If you are doing a lot of miles a 2l diesel is what you want.
They already had to stop selling the 150 horsepower Diesel engine because the NoX emissions are over the limit.
Incorrect, it applies to older E189 engine which is out of production right now.
Hey Thomas, will there be a more powerful gasoline-engine in the near future?
might be, heard some rumours
hi Tom, did but hear anything about the color or read it in the comments: is this lava blue? my wife decided to buy the metallic white one, because there have been no other live pictures out in June (when we ordered). but we added the chrome front and back with the blue line and blue side screens, do it looks cool never the less ;-)
but which color this is?
The key and the car disposition said Lava Blue
sorry, nearly in the end who said the name of the color. my fault. but thx!
Thomas I think it was a BMW M1 Coupe and not a M2!?
Thomas, just wondering, you prefer LED headlights or BI-XENON headlights regardless of cost.
Bi-Xenon already offer good performance ...
It depends on their construction. Some LEDs are good, some are bad. Some xenons are good, some are bad. Unfortunately Seat's LEDs are pretty bad. In the Leon halogens are better than LEDs...
Hi Thomas are you allowed to give your opinion on the difference between the Seat Ateca or the Vauxhall Grandland X.ive watched your reviews, and as usual im very impressed.
My main reason for asking you this question, is that when you carried out the review on the Grandland X Automatic gear box, you weren't sure if it was the best or words to that effect.As it won't select the gear u want, unless you take your foot off the brake to make your selection then put it back on ti the brake again.
That would put me off, as surely it should be the same as the Moka and the new Suv.that they've now introduced on to the market.Is it the Crossland X.car.? Thank you in advance.👍
If you want something that is well built buy a Honda CR-V. It has a beautiful naturally aspirated engine with an efficient hybrid system.
It gets 3.4L/100km in the city! TSI gets 11L/100km!!!
Hi Thomas, Since Both Seat leon 5 dr and Seat Ateca relatively start at same price, which one would you recommend the most? I am aware that its a comparison between Hatchback Vs SUV but which is more fun to drive , practical and over all better between two?
Leon sportier
Ateca more comfy
If you could choose between Ateca and Mazda cx-3 which one would you go for?
The CX 3 is smaller. The better comparison is between the Ateca and the CX 5.
Hi Thomas! You're doing a great job, I love your reviews. I want to ask you this: What do you think that is a good idea to choose a car between Seat Ateca, Skoda Kodiaq or Kia Sportage. I want a family car, with automatic transmission and a relative good fuel consumption. I make around 15.000 km / year. Petrl or dieasel. Thank you very much and I am a fan of you-re channel. Keep up the good work and sorry if my english is a little bad :D ... All the best!
Hi Thomas, great in-depth review as always. Between Kadjar (Icon 1.5 dCi EDC 110bg) and Ateca (Xcellence 1.6 TDI 115bg) which one you would pick? By the way I would pick the red color for both :D
+İlkay Atıl seen our kadjar review?
Yes I did, and I even test drived the Kadjar but now Ateca seems like better than Kadjar. Only downside is that Ateca 1.6 TDI is not offered with DSG and TSI consumption will be an expensive option for me (fuel prices in Turkey is crazy, diesel is much cheaper).
+İlkay Atıl the ateca is the way better car
Thank you for the lightning quick responses, you're the best!
Kadjar has no personality, Ateca is way way better.
Will the new EA 211 TSI evo be possible in the future ?
Hi Thomas, just a curious about knowing how you know if the car is traveling on 2 or 3 cylinders etc.
Im just interested to know how you know this.
Does it show up on the dashboard, when you ease of the throttle.?
Havent heard of the 1.4 TSI with COD ?!
@@autogefuehl it's called 1.4 CZEA
Hi Thomas, Ateca or Honda CR-V?
this
Autogefühl Thanks Thomas
in our country we have the ateca only with Dsg 6 diesel 2 l 143hp
Is it not much of problem in your opinion?
Amazing car and great review , thanks so much and well done 👌🏻
We really appreciate this!
Is there any review on the Xcellence 1.4 TSI FWD ?
+Gregorio Edillo check our 2nd review as well. Linked in the description. But there is no big difference
Very nice. I would not buy with a glass roof as thunderbolt will go through the glass if you get struck :((
Hahaha you are far more likely to be killed walking to your car and driving in sunny weather than struck by lightening
It's not going to happen. Cars ody still works as Faraday's cage. You're safe.
looks like Skoda Kodiaq from the back and like the Tiguan from the side..it is a bit stylish that both though
and the front looks like a audi Q3 without the grill and symboll i would tell its a audi
Lovely vehicle in the orange Thomas
great review, by far the best and most in depth car show on the net or tv in my opinion, you made me think about a test drive thanks
thanks so much - keep supporting us !
Witch better the tucson or ateca
Compare our Tucson review here: ua-cam.com/video/bwbb6dfxBoY/v-deo.html
Hi. thanks for the excellent review. i am about to buy a new one 1.4 with FR trim but it comes with 19 inch low profile tyres. I am not sure if this will be a rough drive on the roas and want to have your recommendation if I can go with this option or i should go with style plus trim with 17 inch tyre. please advise.
Thanks 🙏 if you want the best riding comfort, then indeed stick with the smaller wheels
Hi Thomas, wie empfandest du das Fahrwerk bzw. die Dämpfung des Ateca??
War sie dir zu straff, oder ist sie ein gelungener Kompromiss?
Gruß und macht weiter so! 👍
+Ezio Auditore danke! Fand ich super, details dazu auch im driving part!
Thomas, I know that you preferred TSI, but I am in need for TDI 150hp because I do a lot of daily autobahn distance, traveling a lot, and my family is 1000km from where I am living.
So next week I should order Ateca 2.0TDI 150hp, but I am little concerned that it is a bit noisy and not so smooth.
What do you think, I would appreciate your answer. tnx
you ll be also fine with the TDI !
Danke Herrn Thomas! Never had any diesel so i am a little anxious, even though I had only Seat, Ibiza and Leon, both TSI.
Orange nissan murano? Please :>
Well I did not find a you tube video that compare the car agility like Tucson vs Ateca or qashqai vs Tucson etc..
+Ahmed Ewis if its agility then take the ateca
I think Thomas is the medic from Team Fortress 2
you will laugh when you hear that I am a Medic from team fortress 1
hahaha i knew that you were the vaccinator expert! great reviews.. if not the best!
Thomas do you know something about cupra edition?
First there will be an X-Perience version that we will show to you in Paris
