I'm just looking around for my next SUV purchase and I think you have just won me over. I have had Seats in the past and loved them and looks like I'll be heading back after watching this review, maybe not the same spec though, lol. Thanks for a great review, I'm a subscriber now too.
I have a mk2 FR Leon 170bhp standerd mapped to 217bhp. Tons of torque, comes with ipod docks Bluetooth auto Wipers lights auto lock doors etc real good car. The FR models are getting more and more advanced every time they bring out a new 1. Apart from power differences
Thank you Stavros... Our goto for new cars and old man. Your be doing videos on vans like the one sneaking in behind walled fence before you left for road test. On the hole not a bad little car in my books.
That would be me, that paint has been on the ground for a couple of years now so I've no idea how it decided to all of a sudden lift of the ground onto the tyre.
Nice, i've watched lots of Ateca reviews, not once have i heard about the touch handle to lock feature. I'll be shopping for a used fr 1.4 or 1.5 in the next few months, going from a 2008 car to a 2018 or 20 i'm expecting lots of ''new to me'' features.
Class video but as you say too expensive, a Tiguan R line is 40k (which still is pricey) but abit more elegant. I drive a Mk3 leon FR 2.0 150hp this 3 years and absolutely love it (nice change for your Civic to think about!) The engine, gearbox and handling is great just like the Ateca. I don't know if you noticed the difference between driving modes but in the Leon, the accelerator response and steering stiffness difference between normal and sport is noticeably better. I drove a 3 series recently and I actually couldn't tell any difference between normal and sport mode (granted the 3 series sport + mode is meant to be fun) which I didn't get to try
Hi. thank you for the excellent review. i am about got this FR trim with the 19 inch low profile tyres but i am affraid about the road noice and the tough drive. can you please advise if the driving comfort with this 19 inch wheels was ok or you would advise the i get a lower 17 trim Style plus.
Just swapped our 2016 1.8tsi FR Leon in for a new 18 2.0tsi FR Ateca with the DSG. The Leon goes a bit better and handles better, but by god the Ateca is no slouch and is a much nicer place to be.
Great review ... BTW - iPhone7, and 7plus, don't have wireless charging. Only the iphone8, 8plus and the X support that. Nice car, but 38k ? way too much !
You could not charge your phone because Apple could not be bothered to match Samsung with wireless charging I don’t like that my iphone 7 does not have it so if I wanted wireless charging I would have to buy a £3 think to plug into the lighting port.keep up the great videos.
Diego Mendi yeah I know I was just saying Samsung have been doing this to their phones for longer period and apple only brought it to iPhone in 2017 which Is a lot later that Samsung ok!
Neo People like them for plugging in their little vacuum cleaners to clean the boot, just thought it was a bit strange not to have one for the back seat passengers too as this is the FR Spec I would have expected to see one.
Yeah, before i was wondering that too, but i asked someone who is even more of a car guy then myself, and people also like to hook up an electric frigobox sometimes. For me personally, i don't really car, i love my Ateca :-)

Shaun Moore Thanks Shaun, I’ll have to do a van at some point for sure👍
Who's bright idea was it to drive through white paint, just before the review? haha. Great video as always Stavros! Keep up the great work.
That would be me, that paint has been on the ground for a couple of years now so I've no idea how it decided to all of a sudden lift of the ground onto the tyre.

Chris Leake what mpg are you getting ?
Great review ... BTW - iPhone7, and 7plus, don't have wireless charging. Only the iphone8, 8plus and the X support that.
Nice car, but 38k ? way too much !
Red line at five thousand rpm is about five hundred rpm MORE than most Diesel engines are capable of !
38.000 euro's, be glad, the car in the same spec is 49.000 here in The Netherlands
I changed from a 2017 Tiguan SEL to an new Ateca FR sport. The Ateca is mostly the better car.
You can get it a lot cheaper if you do away with all wheel drive and go for the 1.4 EcoTSI instead.
i bought the ateca excellence 1.4 more than enough power.i love it.
Volvo VNL 2018 review

Pritip Pritip1507 If you can get me one I’ll drive it👍
Hi Stavros969
Oh yeah on my Samsung galaxy s7 edge edge swipe blocks it.
Why would you need 12v socket in the back though? Other than charging your phone that is.

Ah, I see.
