SEAT Ateca
SEAT has given its successful estate-SUV crossover, the Ateca, an exciting update in 2020. The exterior is a futuristic blend of chiselled bonnets and LED headlights, while its interior mixes superb practicality with advanced tech, including SEAT’s latest infotainment system. You can take your pick from a generous array of engines including 1.0-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre petrols, with the 2.0-litre turbo sitting top of the pile for performance. If petrol’s not for you, not to worry – SEAT offers a 2.0-litre diesel. It’s a competitive crossover market, but the Ateca might just come out on top. With a five-star Euro NCAP rating, nifty tech and a slew of options, you can’t ask for much more in a family car.
