General description
The SEAT Ateca 1.4 EcoTSI 150 CV with 4Drive traction and 6-speed DSG gearbox, in its Xcellence Plus trim, presents itself as a very attractive option within the compact SUV segment. Launched in 2016, this model combines the versatility of an SUV with the agility and dynamism characteristic of the Spanish brand. Its 1.4-liter gasoline engine, with direct injection and turbo, offers balanced power for daily use and for getaways beyond the asphalt, thanks to its all-wheel drive. It is a car designed for those looking for a balance between functionality, style, and a touch of excitement behind the wheel.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Ateca 1.4 EcoTSI 4Drive, the sensations are gratifying. The 150 CV engine, although not the most powerful in the range, proves energetic from low revolutions, delivering its 250 Nm of torque from 1500 rpm. This translates into agile response and good recovery capacity, ideal for overtakes or for moving smoothly in the city. The 6-speed DSG gearbox is a delight, with smooth and fast transitions that contribute to a fluid and comfortable driving experience. The 4Drive traction provides extra safety and confidence, especially in low grip conditions or on unpaved roads. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, offers a good compromise between comfort and stability, absorbing terrain irregularities without sacrificing control in curves. The electric power steering is precise and communicative, allowing you to feel what is happening under the wheels. In general, the Ateca transmits a feeling of solidity and poise, inviting you to enjoy every journey.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the SEAT Ateca is one of its strong points, standing out for its sharp lines and its robust and sporty appearance. The 5-door body and its compact dimensions (4363 mm long, 1841 mm wide, and 1611 mm high) give it an imposing presence without being excessively bulky. The front, with its Full LED headlights (in the Xcellence Plus trim) and the characteristic SEAT grille, gives it a determined look. The marked wheel arches and 18-inch wheels (with 225/50 R18 tires) reinforce its SUV character. The rear, with LED taillights and a well-integrated tailgate, completes a harmonious and modern ensemble. Inside, the design is functional and ergonomic, with good quality materials and a driver-oriented dashboard. The habitability is generous for five occupants and the trunk, with 485 liters, offers a very usable capacity for daily luggage or for trips.
Technology and features
The 2016 SEAT Ateca 1.4 EcoTSI Xcellence Plus incorporates a good dose of technology to improve the driving experience and comfort. The 1.4 EcoTSI engine, with direct injection and turbo, is an example of efficiency and performance. The 6-speed DSG transmission is one of the most advanced on the market, offering almost imperceptible gear changes. The 4Drive traction, an intelligent all-wheel drive system, distributes power between the axles according to needs, guaranteeing maximum grip. In terms of infotainment, it has a central touch screen that integrates the navigation system, smartphone connectivity, and various vehicle functions. Driving assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, or emergency braking system, contribute to safer and more relaxed driving.
