The Story

Why the Ateca matters

The Seat Ateca, launched in 2016, was the brand's first SUV and a pivotal model in Seat's shift towards the crossover market. Built on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform, it offered sharp handling, generous space and available all-wheel drive, and shared much with the VW Tiguan. A performance Cupra Ateca followed, and a facelift came in 2020.
