The SEAT Ateca improves its access version

To boost sales again SEAT Ateca, which has been quite relegated to the background compared to Arona and Ibiza (even behind León), Martorell's brand has just rejuvenated the access of the Spanish SUV with better equipment and a little more power.

Mechanically, the 1.0 TSI turbocharged gasoline engine is still the same block that we find under the hood, but now increases its power up to 115 hp (it gains around 5 HP more.) In addition, to provide it with more attractive equipment, the previous Reference level disappears (it was positioned as the lowest) to make way for the current base Style Special Edition.

More extras available

This new access Ateca not only allows you to add more free optional equipment, but also makes it possible to mount the Dynamic upholstery with leather seats in black and 17-inch wheels in different designs. For the bodywork, up to seven different shades are offered.

By the way, the only transmission available with the 1.0 TSI 115 HP engine is the six-speed manual. In terms of consumption, it matches figures that They range from 5,7 to 6,4 l/100 km, depending on use; and its maximum speed is set at 183 km/h.

Price of the new SEAT Ateca access in 2024

The cost does not change much with what they asked for before. It is for sale from 25.600 euros with all the discounts applied and with a 10-year warranty, although in parallel there is the option of driving it through the SEAT Flex program for 160 euros per month with four years of warranty and three of maintenance (fee calculated for 36 months, 10.000 km per year and an initial contribution of 5.797 euros.) This financing formula is fully customizable and will vary depending on the possibilities and needs of each user.

Although the truth is that The Ateca is a fairly spacious, practical and even agile car., its price can continue to be a barrier for potential customers, especially in comparison with direct rivals such as the Citroën C5 Aircross, the Hyundai Tucson, the Renault Austral or the Kia Sportage... and it is worth remembering that it still does not include versions with an Eco label.
