FIRST DRIVE We try the sportiest Ateca available, until the Cupra arrives

SEAT now offers its Ateca SUV with a choice of six engines, two gearboxes and either front or four-wheel drive. On top of that there are five trim levels and countless equipment packages, and if that’s not enough, a 296bhp Cupra version is on the way, too.

Those wondering what a fully-laden, top-of-the-range SEAT SUV would look like need wonder no more – because the car you see here is exactly that. Fitted with the most powerful 2.0 TSI petrol engine, a DSG gearbox and all wheel drive, it comes packed with loads of clever kit and convenient features.
