“SEAT has produced an SUV we both like for the sake of useful comparison and admire full stop. With a family in tow, we’d not only choose it over a Nissan Qashqai but would also be inclined to buy it ahead of a SEAT Leon. Which really says it all.”

“Detuned GTI engine lends plenty of pace and polish, but the sporty Ateca’s ride and steering don’t distinguish the car as well.”

“For our money, the 2.0-litre diesel engine in either 150hp or 190hp tune felt like a more natural bedfellow, providing you do the miles to justify it.”

“We’d still opt for one of SEAT’s wide range of Leon models over the Ateca – physics, and indeed styling is on their side – but if you’re in the market for a small SUV then the Spanish car is probably one of your better options right now.”

“The Ateca is an easy crossover to recommend – helped by the fact it represents a lot of car for the money. Inside it feels more spacious than the competition yet is impressively refined and easy to drive. If you want a good quality crossover – look no further.”

“The Ateca is an impressive SUV that does most of what its sister model, the Volkswagen Tiguan, can do but at a lower price. That said, some rival SUVs do score more highly.”
