Had the privilege of being invited to Millbrook today, as a fleet user who has ordered an Ateca, to take part in the 'Inside Ateca' event. We got to drive several RHD cars on and off road and generally have a good look round the car. The good news is that it's a lovely car in lots of ways. I drove a 2.0 TDI 150 4WD off road, also a 1.4 TSI and 1.6 TDI on road. Such a shame they're not currently bringing the DSG 1.4 TSI to the UK, that engine suits the car well. Not regretting my choice of a 2.0 TDI 150 Xcellence DSG for a second.
The car is well finished, on 18" wheels it rides as well as a Q3. The cabin is roomy and easy to get in and out of. In terms of material quality and panel gaps it's a class above the competitors (they had some there). Visibility is good for this type of vehicle. The boot is well shaped and a good size. Overall a very impressive vehicle, they will have no problem selling these once people start seeing them. The Ateca seems to suit lighter colours better, very pleased I have gone for red
