Is this astroturfing? 121 upvotes in 3 hours for such a bland comment? Not to mention this is a very controversial statement. The Ateca is amazing for its price but by god does it not need a performance version
A brothers friend of mine works for Volkswagen and has this car as his company car for the week, I believe it was some special edition the only one in Ireland currently and it is a machine, watching him stick this beast in launch mode and rip the ground up as this 400hp full size suv
@@mbanck Not sure if you meant that's where Cupra comes from, but it comes from Cup and Racing originally. But the color is of course copper as you say.
It would be great if you displayed L/KM also with M/PG. You guys have international followers and it would help us a lot. I always have to pause and open up a new tab to do the calculation.
Ive just picked my Cupra Ateca up this morning, i really hope i can keep my license because its rapid and handles amazing for an SUV. Obviously not as good as a hot hatch at handling but im impressed wouldnt of bought it if i wasnt.
PhizzyP it will. The minivan boomed in the 80s because young buyers then didn’t want what their mummies and daddies drove-the estate. That led to the demise of the estate as a mainstream family car. Then by the 2000s, the generation who grew up around the minivan didn’t want the minivan anymore and thus migrated to the SUV and crossover. Soon enough when kids today grow up they won’t want hulking SUVs or hatchbacks on stilts and will move back to conventional saloons and estates.
As a new dad, I need to get a family car. Something high up and safe with boot space for a pram. When the baby isn't in the car, I want to have something fun to drive that is quick. This is a cheaper version of the SQ3.
I drive a Seat Ateca 1.4 tsi Xcellence and really like it. Notably, it has full leather seats (heated up front) as well as the nice stitching, flat bottomed steering wheel, 8" touch screen infotainment system, wireless charging and "pulsating stop/start button" 😁. On average it returns 45mpg and handles better than its other brand rivals even at this level. Sport mode is available which gives it a little more ooompf and tightens the steering if the mood strikes. Maybe a sign of being boring and sensible, but with all the speed cameras out there it's hard for me to see the advantage of accelerating any faster and suffering the low mpg/high annual tax figures of the Cupra. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!
They brought in a pair of comedians who aren't exactly petrolheads. Clarkson, Hammond and May were true petrolheads, but it just so happens that they're also quite witty. I honestly think LeBlanc and Rory did a much better job than the current pair.
Then just imagine how much stuff is packed unnoticed into these engines to make them profitable. Its like PC processors. they are all the same except for some software or hardware lock on them. they only change pricetag.
The logo does indeed look like tribal tatoo: cheap and drunk. Lovely car but not sure what they were thinking. Also some trim details look very cheap like the fake carbon fiber.
This thing is quick - 4.4 Sec to 100Km/h in a 5 seater SUV with 4 wheel drive for about 33 British K´s - I find that quite impressive even that I do not fancy SUV´s. I do look quite decent for an SUV - good stance and a simple sharp profile.
Congratulations on reaching 4 million subscribers and thanks to mat and everyone at carwow on keeping us entertained during lockdown with reviews and everything thing else.
Seat's design team must have been looking back over old Max Power magazines when designing this one. "Replacing the stock badge with a cool tribal logo would look great!" I fear they're going to take the Seat Leon Cupra down this tacky route too, that'd be a shame.
Foto4Max what? Cupra had their “R” logo which was far more subtle and classy than what’s taken its place. And no history? They haven’t even been around for 70 years and they’ve been pretty significant in motorsport having competed in multiple rally and touring car series’s. On top of that they’ve made some pretty memorable cars through their history developing a large following. I don’t even particularly like seat/VAG cars and I know this. You can dislike a brand without being blindly ignorant.
*If those are the worst five points about this car, who cares? For around £35k you're getting a genuine performance SUV. Okay, so it might not be quite as fast as the Alfa SUV in a straight line, but a 0 - 60mph time of under 4.7 seconds puts most Range Rover Sports models to the test. And let's not forget that the (uglier looking) Alfa is twice the price of the Cupra Ateca. I think this is a great car!*
I test drive this one. It is a really good ride. Probably for someone who needs/wants SUV but also wants a sporty car. In Switzerland, new ones can be had already from 45'000CHF, ABT prepared ones are at 47'000+. For the same money, there is not so much of the choice there. For about 10K more you might get Audi SQ2 or Jaguar E-Pace or Volvo XC60. However, if 280PS is enough for you then you might want to check Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 that is about the same price. And I think, those two are direct competition, but also different takes on that segment. I would go for Stelvio as the interior just feels much better.
Fuck I don't know how this homie is the best and most detailed car reviewer whilst simultaneously being the funniest as well, seems like just an all round top bloke, "always colour code your dog to your car interior" ahhaah

It's far from a tank SUV 😂
It's basically a lifted Leon

In my opinion, this is a really good car, and It looks so good.
@@evolutionspeed yes it done
Still, the non-SUV version will always be better. And I don't think that this bloated thing looks half as good as a Leon Cupra.
It looks average, like a pumped seat. Slightly more interesting than Golf, but Golf is one of the most bland cars.

It's copper.

I wish they sold SEAT cars in the US including their Cupra cars
lol you guys have American muscle in no money and you need this shity seat brand wtf
So..........
Should I avoid it
Should I consider it
Should I shortlist it
Or
Should I go ahead and buy it ????????
i say you should consider it
I reckon if you are in the market for a really fast SUV you should just go ahead and buy it.
Pasindu Pabasara i reckon you should consider it
First click on the pop up banner and see how much you can save on this car, or any car for that matter👀
Pasindu Pabasara I would say you should....... shortlist
”Cool feature: Independent rear suspension” WOW! What year is it, 1979?
Wait till it gets sequential tail lights! Soooo fancy and upper class
To be fair, the current A class uses a torsion beam.
It’s 2021
Thank me later 😊
You’d be surprised about how many cars still use torsion bars. Obviously you aren’t that clued up to moan about it

A Golf R on stilts? Is this what the people want? We have truly strayed away from the light.
yup everyone wants SUV now in couple years f1 will be f1 suv
I just hope that the crossover and SUV hype is just another stupid trend like drinking bleach and will go away very soon

The logo looks like the logo for some random gaming laptop. Overall nice car, but the branding is tacky AF

Love the remark on Cupra itself and on tattoo's, exactly my point! You're a SEAT, own up to it! And yes DS, i'm also looking at you!
The logo does indeed look like tribal tatoo: cheap and drunk. Lovely car but not sure what they were thinking. Also some trim details look very cheap like the fake carbon fiber.
Wtf are those fake air vents in the rear bumper! They look horrific, even if they were real!
JDM yo!
I agree

Why did you replace it?

Really liking this new affordable fast SUV segment to sit below the Macan/SQ5. Bring on the T Roc R!
I work at SEAT in Eastern Europe, and the Cupra Ateca’s official name in the registration papers is SEAT Cupra Ateca
Amazing channel, great work and god I love the (subtile) humouristic parts!
Man those pulsating engine start buttons are better looking in Jaguars. IMO
Nice video enjoyed it
Next video : Cupra vs Supra
When the intro didn’t say you were testing it with a stick, I got scared for second
IMO one of the best sport badges and good colour choice as well to represent the brand
Wow, Ateca Cupra is very beauty

Awesome work seat
The biggest difference from the standard Ateca (apart from the engine) has to be the independent rear suspension.

Haha! I like your car review very much! It’s fun, informative and enjoyable!

Great car. Just bought one.
Any chance of reviewing the new face lifted Cupra Ateca?
Mat you are really fun to watch!
I can't believe you managed to get the standard model to 60MPH in 4.6 seconds! It's supposed to do 0-62MPH in 5.2 seconds.
Nice review
It looks normal, but it’s not normal I like it
just look at the thumbnail 😂😂

Waiting for ur review on Kia Pro Ceed GT and Leon Cupra R ST

Not too sure with these random rebrandings.
(Citroen) DS as example.

You can see how Matt is excited about Cupra Suv
I can definitely see myself jumping like this when dropping my son to daycare :D
I just realised the thumbnail is you trying to mimic the logo
Thats pretty fast for a SUV and for that price !
I love the "CarWow Stick of Truth" - a great car journo discovery. 😉👍 And...Matt is top quality. 💯💥
The ABT ECU is magic!
I think it'll sell well in NA considering a lot of people like suv and cuvs. They should bring it over
That car is just as fast as the new Toyota Supra and this is an SUV and it’s cheaper. U.S don’t get the fun cars
I’ve said this before and will say it again .. that logo belongs on a gaming laptop. VW picked it from some design firms unused logos.
But then again you have the Leon Cupra ST with 4x4 also. And looks better than R estate.
This car is the automotive equivalent of a gaming computer
