Explore the Cupra Ateca’s standout features, including its muscular SUV styling, copper accents, and driver-focused cabin with a 9.2-inch infotainment system, digital cockpit, sports seats, and standard DSG automatic gearbox with all-wheel drive on most versions. Inside, it prioritises function and durability, offering good space for passengers and a practical layout, though the interior design now feels more dated compared with newer Cupra models like the Formentor and Terramar.
The Cupra Ateca is powered by a range of petrol engines, including a 1.5-litre option and a 2.0-litre turbocharged unit producing up to around 300 hp in higher-spec VZ models. Performance is a key strength, with the fastest versions capable of 0-62 mph in about 4.9-5.2 seconds, delivering strong straight-line speed and confident all-wheel-drive traction.
On the road, the Ateca feels agile and surprisingly quick for an SUV, with solid grip and responsive steering, though the ride can feel firm over rough surfaces and the driving position and steering feel less refined than newer rivals. It’s also worth noting that the model is now at the end of its lifecycle, with Cupra shifting focus to newer SUVs like the Formentor and Tavascan.
Practicality remains a strong point, with good rear passenger space and a boot capacity of around 485 litres, making it suitable for family use and daily commuting. However, interior quality and technology lag behind newer competitors in the segment.
Choose from tailored contract lengths, mileage options, and optional maintenance packages - giving you full flexibility over your lease. With competitive monthly payments and nationwide delivery, driving a brand-new Cupra Ateca is a fast, practical, but now ageing performance SUV choice.
