Everything you need to know about… the Seat Ateca
Colours, prices, specs, dimensions and more on the Seat Ateca family car.
Compact SUVs and crossovers are rapidly becoming Britain’s family car of choice, and the Seat Ateca is the latest model to enter the fray. It’s based on the same platform and mechanicals as the Volkswagen Tiguan – Seat belongs to the Volkswagen Group – but it feels sharper to drive, offers more style and much better value, particularly if you only want a front-wheel drive version.
The Auto Trader test team has driven every version of the Seat Ateca to help provide the most definitive expert review, answer your most popular questions and offer some insight on how to spec the perfect Seat Ateca.

How much is the Seat Ateca?
Prices for the Seat Ateca start from £17,990 for the S trim level version. However, with 16-inch alloys, a small five-inch infotainment screen and no parking sensors available, it’s easily identifiable as the base model.
SE trim starts from £19,950, adding 17-inch alloys wheels, reverse parking sensors and bigger eight-inch touchscreen, but you’ll need the SE Technology, from £21,580, for 18-inch alloys wheels, satellite navigation and smartphone integration that synchs with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Only the range-topping Xcellence is available with leather seats, significantly boosting the cabin’s ambience as well as the car’s starting price to £23,905.

What is the Seat Ateca First Edition?
The First Edition is a special trim level that has been created to support the launch of the Seat Ateca in the UK. Limited to just 200 units, the specification is the result of a poll involving 12,000 customers who were asked to detail their ultimate family specification.

It also features rear parking sensors with a rear view camera, dark tinted windows with matt black window surrounds and 18-inch Bi-colour alloy wheels. Prices for the Seat Ateca First Edition start from £21,995.
