Overview

The Ateca was previewed as a concept vehicle, the SEAT IBX which was showcased at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show,{{cite web|title=Say Hello To The Perfect Crossover From SUV To Sports Coupé|url=http://www.seat.co.uk/about-seat/news-events/cars/concept-car-ibx.html|publisher=SEAT}}{{cite web|date=2011-04-01|title=Seat IBX concept news - Geneva 2011: Seat IBX concept - 2011|url=http://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/seat-ibx-concept-news-geneva-2011-seat-ibx-concept-2011}} followed by the SEAT 20V20 Concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.{{cite web|date=2015-04-02|title=Seat 20V20 concept is a big pointy SUV|url=http://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/seat-20v20-concept-big-pointy-suv}} The production version was released in March 2016 and it went on sale from September 2016.{{Cite web|date=2016-03-18|title=Seat Ateca SUV to go on sale in UK from September 2016|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/motoring-news/seat-ateca-suv-to-go-on-sale-in-uk-from-september-2016-a6939026.html|access-date=2020-08-20|website=The Independent|language=en}} In keeping with SEAT's tradition of naming its cars after Spanish places, The Ateca is named after Ateca village to the west of Zaragoza, near SEAT headquarters in Barcelona.{{Cite web|last=Russon|first=Chris|title=SEAT shows off Ateca SUV|url=https://www.eurekar.co.uk/articles/2016-02-10/seat-shows-off-ateca-suv|access-date=2020-08-20|website=www.eurekar.co.uk|language=en}}

As part of Volkswagen Group policy of making similar models with shared platforms in the same factory, the Ateca is not produced in Spain, rather it is produced at Škoda production facility in Kvasiny, Czech Republic alongside the Škoda Karoq to cut costs.{{Cite web|title=New SEAT Ateca SUV: prices, specs and release date|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/seat/ateca/88845/new-seat-ateca-suv-prices-specs-and-release-date|access-date=2020-08-20|website=Auto Express|language=en}}

Facelift

The facelifted Ateca was revealed in June 2020. Exterior revisions over the previous Ateca model include a modified front bumper, a new rear bumper, a revised radiator grille, new LED headlamps and tail lights and a pair of redesigned fog lamps. The rear lighting units share a similar design to the Tarraco and feature sequential indicators on the FR and Xperience trim-levels. The Ateca’s block-capital badge design has been swapped for the same hand-written script found on the rear of the new Leon.{{Cite web|title=New SEAT Ateca facelift arrives with styling borrowed from the Tarraco|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/seat/ateca/107405/new-seat-ateca-facelift-arrives-styling-borrowed-tarraco|access-date=2020-08-20|website=Auto Express|language=en}}

In the interior, the facelifted Ateca gets a new leather steering wheel, updated door cards and a choice of new upholstery designs. There’s also an eight-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, a pair of new USB-C ports, a multi-colour ambient lighting system and voice recognition. The Ateca received an 8.25-inch infotainment system as standard with a larger 9.2-inch unit as an option.{{Cite web|last=Padeanu|first=Adrian|title=2021 SEAT Ateca Facelift Revealed With Rugged Xperience Trim|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/428735/2021-seat-ateca-facelift-revealed/|access-date=2020-08-20|website=Motor1.com|language=en}}

Cupra Ateca

The Ateca is also sold under a new performance-oriented brand, Cupra, whose cars are based on existing SEAT models. As the result, the car does not bear the SEAT logo in favour of the copper-tinted badge Cupra logo. It features a redesigned front and rear bumpers, quad exhaust pipes, and gloss-black detailing on several exterior elements, including the wing mirrors, side mouldings, wheels and front grille.

The Cupra Ateca gets a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing {{Convert|300|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, 4Drive all-wheel drive and an adaptive suspension. SEAT claims the combination can take the compact SUV from {{Convert|0-100|kph|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 5.4 seconds with a top speed of {{Convert|152|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}. The car can operate in a number of modes, including a new 'Cupra' setting that firms up the suspension and allows more engine noise through to the cabin.{{Cite web|title=New 2018 Cupra Ateca unveiled with 296bhp|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/cupra/ateca/94349/new-cupra-ateca-priced-from-35900|access-date=2020-08-20|website=Auto Express|language=en}}
