Read the full review here: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/seat/ateca/first-drives/2016-seat-ateca-20-tdi-190-4drive-reviewDespite undercutting its German sibling, you don't really miss out on a huge amount. Sure, you don't get a sliding, reclining rear bench and the front door trims aren't as plush, but you're still getting a very usable little SUV.
The 187bhp version of the familiar 2.0 TDI powerplant is a big help here. It may start to sound a bit ragged over 3000rpm, but there's a pleasing slug of torque beyond 1500rpm that allows you to gain speed with authority. It's not outright fast, but it's certainly brisk enough for any real-world situation.
Now we've got the (relatively) exciting stuff covered, it's time to talk practicality. Like its brother, the Tiguan, the Ateca is usefully bigger inside than a Nissan Qashqai and nearly as capacious as a Kia Sportage.
