Cupra Ateca goes on sale
Tthe first model to be launched under the new brand, the Cupra Ateca is priced at just £35,900.
The Cupra Ateca’s 2.0 TSI engine delivers 300PS and 400NM of torque. This engine comes with a powerful sound, and is equipped with a newly developed DQ381 7-speed DSG gearbox that has been developed to offer sportier gearbox feel with faster, smoother and more precise changes.
The CUPRA Ateca comes with the 4Drive traction system which analyses road conditions in real time, including the speed of the car, speed of each wheel, the steering wheel position, and the driving style or mode to quickly and progressively deliver power at each moment to the necessary wheels.
On the outside it has black brake callipers, a sporty rear bumper, a copper CUPRA logo on the boot, four exhaust pipes on the edge of the rear diffuser and 19-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.
There are six exterior body colours available: Energy Blue, Velvet Red, Brilliant Silver, Rodium Grey, Magic Black and Nevada White.
Inside, the black Alcantara seats also feature copper stitching and an embossed logo, and are complemented by Alcantara door panels. The pedals are finished in aluminium and the climate control air vent frames and the central console are finished in gloss black.
The standard equipment in the CUPRA Ateca is oriented towards three basic principles: technology, design and safety. That is why systems such as the keyless entry and start system, wireless charger, 8-inch touchscreen navigation system plus, dynamic chassis control and park assist all come as standard.

Cupra Ateca Special Edition announced
Due to go on sale in limited numbers later this year, the Cupra Ateca Special Edition is powered by the same 300PS 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine as the standard Cupra Ateca.
Newly designed and exclusive 20-inch copper alloy wheels house the standard Brembo brakes. Copper Carbon Fibre elements bring a new look to the door mirrors and rear spoiler – which provides an increased down force effect. Enhancements also extend to the introduction of the Akrapoviç exhaust system, which, in addition to lowering the weight of the vehicle by around 7kg, adds a more exclusive sound experience to the high-performance SUV.
Inside, the Cupra Ateca Special Edition gets exclusive Petrol Blue Alcantara covering the front bucket sports seats, rear seats and door panels.

Cupra Ateca Limited Edition priced from £42,120
Limited to 100 units in the UK, the Cupra Ateca Limited Edition is available in Rhodium Grey – £42,120 (OTR) and exclusive Graphene Grey with Akrapovic Exhaust System – £45,160 (OTR).
Although no power upgrade is quoted, Cupra is claiming a 4.9 second 0-62mph time - shaving 0.3 seconds off the standard model.
Available on 20 of the UK models, the titanium Akrapovic exhaust system saves 7kg in overall weight to offer the ultimate in sophisticated performance, says Cupra, as well as a more visceral aural experience.
Further expanding the performance envelope, an ABT Sportsline power upgrade is available from UK retailers, pushing the power and torque to 350PS and 440Nm, respectively.
The Cupra Ateca Limited Edition exterior features a host of styling cues including the newly-designed 20-inch copper alloy wheels, a unique copper thread carbon fibre roof spoiler that enhances aerodynamic performance, as well as copper thread mirror covers and copper Cupra lettering.
The large wheels also allow for the fitment of standard 18-inch Brembo brakes which enhance the stopping power.
Inside, the vehicle’s exclusive new colour is complimented with the combination of black frames (around the dashboard and infotainment screen), copper carbon fibre interior mouldings and exclusive Petrol Blue Alcantara bucket heated sport seats.

Facelifted Cupra Ateca revealed
The Cupra Ateca receives similar updates to the standard SEAT Ateca. Highlights include a new grille and sharper headlights, while the interior gets a revised steering wheel with new drive mode buttons. There's a new 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while a digital instrument cluster is standard.
While power from the 2.0-litre petrol engine remains at 300PS, it's been tweaked so will now cover 0-62mph faster than the pre-facelift model. It'll now reach 62mph in 4.9 seconds.
