The advances make the conservative SUV more secure and more advantageous regardless of what situation clients end up driving in.
The SEAT Ateca offers a scope of cutting edge and clean burning motors that are to adjusted for the best driving character, including the brand's most recent petroleum (TSI) and diesel (TDI) motors.
Configuration: Adapted to the advanced world
"The new SEAT Ateca declares itself with a revived look, more on top of the necessities of the market. It blends the new SEAT plan language, with a vigorous character, yet one that doesn't reduce its enthusiastic character," said Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, Director of Design at SEAT. "While the inside includes new shading moldings, inside parts incorporate new textures with stitchings to expand the view of value."
Outside
The SEAT Ateca's in a split second unmistakable plan joins dynamism and usefulness - these properties remain yet have been improved with cautiously chosen redesigns including further passionate allure, just as an expanded heartiness out and about.
The Ateca keeps up its wide, strong position because of its liberal measurements. The SUV develops long (+18mm) to 4,381mm - because of the new plan of the front and back guards - however stays as wide (1,841mm) and tall (1,615mm) as the current model.
Conventional Ateca configuration signs stay, for example, the exact, streaming lines and solid curves, while another front grille, guard and full LED headlamp revives the front stylish.
At the back, the plan has been additionally etched to underscore the amazing shoulders which encase the noteworthy 510-liter burden space. Another back guard, the presentation of full LED back lights with dynamic (clearing) markers (FR and Xperience manages), and new fumes pipe covers supplement the vehicle's plan. The Ateca will likewise take the refreshed nameplate with the 'Ateca' name presently emblazoned in the new penmanship style.
SEAT has accepted this open door to refresh the determinations accessible to guarantee there is an Ateca for each client and way of life.
Notwithstanding the SE (and SE Technology) trim, there is the sportier FR (and FR Sport) model and the new Xperience (and Xperience Lux) variation which centers around off-road styling. Each trim additionally gets its own remarkable wheel configuration, going from 17-to 19-inch.
The FR trim is currently characterized by a sportier visual with key accents, including another grille configuration, front and back guard moldings, mist light barbecue, reflect tops, side moldings and debilitates, all completed in Cosmo Gray Matte.
The most current trim, supplanting Xcellence, is called 'Xperience' offering a more strong visual to the vehicle, without bargaining flexibility. This character is emphasizd with the expansion of dark front and back guards with Aluminum-finish lower valance, body-hued wheel curve encompasses, and side moldings finished in an Aluminum finish.
The shading palette has been reached out to 10, which presently contains two strong (Bila White, Energy Blue) and eight metallic (Dark Camouflage, Lava Blue, Velvet Red, Rhodium Gray, Reflex Silver, Black Magic, Crystal Black, Nevada White).

The driver's seat is electric with eight-way change and memory work (just like the outside mirrors), which means you'll have the option to return to the ideal situation in the driver's seat at a hint of a catch.
The inside's plan is underscored by the incorporation of matte completion encompasses for the air vents, gear switch and infotainment framework, with multicolor surrounding lighting carrying an additional degree of customisation to the lodge.
The seats are done in either fabric (comfort seat), Microsuede or Leather (sports seat).More connected and in tune with modern life
The SEAT Ateca remains one of the most digital mid-sized SUVs on the market and this has been enhanced with the refreshed model.
At the centre is SEAT's Digital Cockpit, which brings together a high-resolution full-colour 10.25-inch fully-customisable digital driver binnacle and a large infotainment system. The standard infotainment system boasts an 8.25-inch screen with smartphone audio compatibility, while the larger 9.2-inch Connect System (standard on SE Technology upwards) offers online navigation and natural voice control to simplifiy user interaction.
Voice recognition is perhaps one of the easiest and most natural ways to interact with devices, especially as we have become increasingly used to home assistants from the consumer electronics world.
The new voice recognition system enables a natural understanding of language in order to allow the user to interact with the infotainment system using natural commands, making corrections and referencing previous commands. It is also possible to download and integrate smartservices, which will connect with your account and means you will always stay in touch with your smart appliances. To wake-up the system, say "Hola Hola" and it will be ready to go.
With the Full Link system, customers are able to seamlessly pair their smartphones and access their digital lives no matter what device they use - either wireless Apple CarPlay (based on Bluetooth or WLAN) or Android Auto using a cable.
The Full Link system is the gateway, allowing users to connect their mobile devices to the vehicle's infotainment system and access to get directions (via Apple Maps), make calls with access to your full contact list, send and receive messages, and listen to your music playlists. Full Link can be accessed via the infotainment system or the multifunction steering wheel.
Ateca now includes four illuminated Type C USB connectors, two located in the front lower centre console and two for rear passengers at the back of the centre console, making it easier to plug in, stream, and charge without any hassle. A 12-volt outlet can also be found within the centre console under the armrest. Ateca has wireless phone charging, as standard across the range, within the lower centre console, to ensure your (compatible) device remains charged ready for the next part of your journey.
The built-in eSIM delivers the eCall service, which directly contacts emergency services should an incident occur, adding yet another level of safety to the vehicle. If an eCall is triggered, vital data is sent to the emergency services also, including position (based on GPS data), engine type, and number of passengers, making it easier for them to assist.
In addition, the built-in eSIM also offers the possibility of reaching SEAT services through the "private call" button; this assistant allows the driver to contact SEAT services in their own language, no matter where they are driving.
The next level of connectivity is being made available across the entire range with the introduction of the SEAT Connect app. Downloadable to your smart device, it gives remote control to a range of functions that will maximise ownership enjoyment and improve safety.
From the SEAT Connect app, users can remotely access driving data of previous journeys and remaining range, parking position, lock and unlock the doors, set up speed alerts so you can be warned if someone using your vehicles is driving too fast, be alerted if your vehicle has been stolen, or activate the horn and turn signals to find the car more easily in a crowded car park.
The number of in-car and online services will grow through the life of the vehicle as the digital eco-system expands, enhancing user experience.
Safety: one of the safest, most intelligent SUVs on the market
"The new SEAT Ateca does not only keep its strength, like outstanding robustness, proven in durability tests, but it also brings a new dimension to safety and convenience. This is achieved with a host of integrated systems that makes Ateca among the safest and most advanced SUVs in the market," said Axel Andorff, Executive Vice-president for Research and Development at SEAT. "From the ability to offer supervised automated driving in certain scenarios to aiding the driver when leaving a parking space, the new SEAT Ateca gives both drivers and pedestrians increased peace of mind."
The new SEAT Ateca is arguably one of the safest vehicles in its segment, offering a range of new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that few competitors do. It's been developed to see more of its surroundings, able to react to obstacles on the road, and because of these technologies the SEAT Ateca can sense its environment, offering optimised protection no matter what scenario occurs.
Pre-Crash Assist is a system designed to prepare the vehicle and occupants should the worst happen and there's a potential collision. The onboard systems work together; front seatbelts are pretensioned, windows and sunroofs are closed and warning lights are activated in order to mitigate the consequences of an accident.
Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses feeds from GPS data delivered from the navigation system and input from the front-mounted camera and Traffic Sign Recognition, allowing it to proactively amend the cruise speed depending on the road layout ahead - bends, roundabouts, junctions, changes in speed limits and built-up areas. This reduces the requirement for driver input and mitigates against sudden speed changes and manoeuvres.
To maintain safety and meet legal requirements, the driver must continually monitor the system and their surroundings, keeping at least one hand on the steering wheel. If the vehicle senses that the driver has taken both hands off the wheel for more than 15 seconds, they will receive audible and visual warnings. A braking jolt can be given. If the driver continues to fail to respond, the Emergency Assist 3.0 system can bring Ateca to a complete stop.
Ateca now gets Side and Exit Assist (Xperience trims only) - making manouevres from parking spaces easier than ever. When exiting a parking space, the vehicle will give an audible and visual warning if oncoming traffic, cyclist or pedestrians are detected. If the driver does not take an appropriate action or the object gets closer, the vehicle will initiate an automatic braking to minimise the rick of a collision.
The SEAT Ateca will also feature Side Assist which can detect vehicles up to 70 metres in adjoining lanes, with a visual alert via the LED within the side mirror.
It's simple to use; the driver only needs to select reverse gear, press the parking aid button and use the mirror adjustment switch to set the direction they wish the trailer to be steered, then simply take control of acceleration, braking and gear changes in manual vehicles, and the system will do the rest.
But the refreshed SEAT Ateca's onboard systems aren't purely about safety, but also make the compact SUV more convenient, comfortable and enjoyable to drive.
With four selectable driver profiles - Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual - on front-wheel variants, and two additional modes - Offroad and Snow - for 4Drive versions, drivers can change the vehicle's ride and handling to suit the conditions and their own preferences, making the vehicle more versatile, comfortable and enjoyable to take on any adventure
Powertrains: Petrol and diesel engines designed to maximise efficiency
A range of updated petrol (TSI) or diesel (TDI) powertrains are available, each designed to deliver the highest levels of performance and driveability while improving efficiency, giving every customer the perfect engine for their needs.
Petrol
Five petrol options are available on the Ateca.
The frugal three-cyclinder 1.0 TSI unit produces 81kW/110PS of power, and linked to a manual transmission. This engine uses a Miller-cycle combustion process and variable geometry turbocharger to take efficiency to the next level..The Miller-cycle optimises valvetrain control, with early closure of the inlets combined with a higher compression rate and turbocharging providing greater control of the air-fuel mixture andimprove fuel efficiency by up to 10 per cent.
With a power output of 110kW/150PS, the larger capacity four-cylinder 1.5 TSI is available with both manual and DSG dual-clutch transmissions, and achieves reduced fuel consumption and greater efficiency by integrating Active Cylinder Management technology, which adapts the engine to work with only two cylinders in certain driving conditions.
The most powerful petrol option is a 140kW/190PS 2.0 TSI unit,linked to a DSG dual-clutch transmission and 4Drive all-wheel drive system to offer a dynamic on-road and off-road driving experience.
Diesel remains a key technology in the Ateca's powertrain line-up, and with the introduction of the new 2020 version of the Ateca, the offering has been adjusted to offer a greater balance between driving character and efficiency.
The 2.0 TDI engines offer improved performance while reducing emissions versus the outgoing 1.6 TDI unit.
The line-up includes a 2.0 TDI engine linked to a six-speed manual transmission with a power output of 85kW/115PS.
A more powerful 110kW/150PS unit is also available, linked to either a manual or DSG dual-clutch transmission, with the latter able to support 4Drive all-wheel drive as an option
All TDI units introduce a new twin dosing SCR system that includes dual AdBlue injection to significantly reduce NOx emissions compared to previous generation diesel engines. The result is a range of diesel engines that meet the strict requirement of Euro6d emissions standards.
