I come from a 2016 Leon FR and have my Ateca FR delivered next week. The driving feel, sportiness is something i was not willing to sacrifice despite needing a little bit of a bigger car. I can't stand driving the spongy feelings some french or asian manufacturers give you. I also really love the reliability i've experienced with all my VAG cars so far. The MQB platform is probably one of the best platforms out there at the moment for this type of car. The Ateca's looks are great, tech is great and the driving is great, why look elsewhere? Oh it's also very affordable compared to others, no compromises for me, all out win!

Hi did you get your on the due date mine has been delayed for 2 months am gutted i should be collecting today

[@jdb6284]

@@josephman3228 Hi mate, well mine was supposed to have a 3 months delivery term, turned out to be five. So 2 months extra seems on point. I've got it since 3 weeks now. Cheers!

[@josephman3228]

Thanks pal sounds about same 3 month then added another 5 weeks so its standard lol I cant wait to get in it I hope it's as good a fun as they say

[@oldgregg2057]

In the same boat. Currently driving my 16 plate fr leon and looking at the ateca now. Any buying advice now that you've had yours for 3 weeks?

[@jdb6284]

@@oldgregg2057 eh not really. From my experience it feels like an extremely similar car. It's maybe a tiny little less drag race happy. But it's still a nippy car, great cornering feel (no jumping around like some suv's do). And yeah.. you sit higher. Might sound strange, but i really don't like that too much. Guess i especially chose this one to still get a somewhat sporty feel and make my family happy too. All in all, i'm convinced if you're not a coupe lover like me, it's a perfect car for a lot of people, for sure.

[@joe80ss]

Would luv to see how the FR trim has changed.

[@danielagyei9987]

Thanks again very much. Very informative

[@steveo8533]

It beats all in its class, SQ2, Countryman, T-roc R, Kona, X2 to name a few. Not convinced? I am.

[@PHADAVIES]

I've had a FR4 sport tdi for 3 years. The extra torque of the tdi and independent rear suspension of the 4 drive makes all the difference, better handling than most hatchbacks and the dsg makes the most of the torque! Actually got it to 61mpg one leisurely drive through the Cheshire countryside. Only downside is ,it does wear out all 4 tyres pretty equally ,the Haldex system anticipates the possibility of losing traction with acceleration or fast cornering so it's engaged more than you would think.

[@nikolaidiqnov6801]

Great review. Actually helped me decide to get the Ateca. The car offers a lot and for me, it looks better than the Skoda. In the review Lexus UX was mentioned as a rival but I think it is far from it. The Lexus has a boot smaller than Seat Ibiza- barely gets two large suitcases. Also, rear passenger space is scarce. Keep up the good work.

Hi Nikolai, thank you for the great feedback. If you live in the UK, we'd be more than happy to get you behind the wheel of the Ateca 👍 Get in touch here: bit.ly/319ZKoT​

@@rivervalegroup Thank you but I live far from the UK. 😁

[@dr6124]

Good, comprehensive review. I was looking between the FR Sport and Xperience Lux. I like the look of the FR Sport better but it lacks some features of the Lux. Not sure why they thought a electric front seat isn't Luxury - for some reason it's on the FR Sport but not the Lux. My ideal car would be the Lux features with FR Sport looks and electric front seats. The 360 cam which is only on the Lux i could dispense with but i would want the ACC. I guess this is why SEAT is becoming Cupra.... The Lux is more like a Volkswagen and the FR Sport isn't, so they are just making everything Cupra, where all the cars are sporty but will have different engines and features. Don't want sport?.... buy a Volkswagen or Skoda.

[@norahreed3238]

[@cipiripper]

Hey I got the 2021 Ateca 2.0 TDI 150 HP DSG-7 4Drive, and I have the DCC.

[@rivervalegroup]

That's great to hear! What made you choose this model?

[@cipiripper]

@@rivervalegroup Well I didn't like KIA sportage (didnt like enterior, gearbox, and I always had the feeling that the rear end moves/leans too much in the corners), Nisan Qashqai (too pricy for the trim I wanted, engines offered were too weak), Toyota RAV-4 (too ugly, didn't like the ride), VW Tiguan (too pricy, I hated the new facelift). Then I was gonna test Karoq and Ateca. When I test drove the Ateca, compared to other cars, I liked the torque of the TDI, you just fly off at the traffic lights, it had the best handling, the largest boot, trim that I wanted was reasonably priced and I liked the SEAT Connect feature. I'm regreting that I didn't get the 220V socket and the automatic tailgate. I love that I got the virtual cockpit, 4Drive, KESSY, Seat CONNECT... Only thing I got that I seldom use is the Parking Assist. I drove it for 11000 km, and I loved it.

[@tomoneal5627]

Pls test the new Skoda Octavia Scout 4*4! 🙏

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael!

[@michaelporter4050]

Confused about the DSG gearshift. In most shots it’s like a conventional gear lever, but in one it’s the new VAG button-like affair. Which is it please? If it differs between specs, I’m thinking about the Xperience trim (or was it Xcellence?)

[@mattyfay899]

The DSG shifter is the normal conventional one. The button one your talking about is just on the very latest VAG brand cars ie the new mk4 leon or the new mk8 golf.

[@michaelporter4050]

@@mattyfay899 thanks for the explanation. Odd then that one shot showed the new VAG shift button

Not true. I have a 2020 ateca at the moment and have 3 children, 2 boys aged 4 and 6 in car seats and our teenage daughter gets in the middle no problem.
