Design & Presence

The CUPRA Ateca wears its sporty intentions on every panel, with aggressive creases, a low stance and the brand’s copper accents that lift it out of the sea of anonymous compact SUVs. Available with turbo petrol engines from around 150 to 300 hp, and in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive formats, the Ateca looks faster than most of its paperwork suggests. At roughly 4,394 mm long it feels compact in town but purposeful on the open road, with top speeds stretching to the quarter-ton class depending on engine choice. The overall effect is a crossover that reads performance-first without looking ostentatious.

Interior & Usability

Inside, the Ateca mixes sporty cues with sensible ergonomics: bolstered seats, a driver-focused dash and plenty of soft-touch plastics where they count for daily use. The digital cockpit and center screen present information clearly, though complex menus can require a moment to master; materials and fit are a step above mainstream siblings. Seating is comfortable for long drives, with supportive front chairs and a usable rear bench for adults on shorter trips. Practical switches and a low centre console make the cabin more intuitive than some rival touchscreen-first cabins.

Space & Everyday Practicality

The Ateca seats five and offers a useful boot with around 510–485 litres of trunk space depending on spec, expandable to roughly 1,604–1,579 litres with the rear seats down, so weekly shopping, prams and two large suitcases are handled without drama. Curb weights range from about 1,418 to 1,628 kg, which helps explain why the higher-powered versions feel more planted but drink more fuel. Fuel tanks are typically 50–55 litres, allowing practical ranges on the motorway when paired with the lower consumption variants. For family life the rear doors are wide and the load lip is low, making daily loading straightforward.

Driving & Handling

The Ateca’s chassis leans toward the sporty side of compact SUVs, with sharp steering and a taut body that flatters twisty roads more than many competitors. Performance spans from a relaxed 0–100 km/h in 9.3 s for the entry petrol to a genuinely quick 4.9 s in the 300 hp flagship, with a 190 hp middle ground that balances pace and economy at about 7.2 s. Torque ranges from roughly 250 to 400 Nm, and the 2.0 TSI all-wheel-drive models give better traction and mid-corner confidence. The dual-clutch automatic is generally fast to respond and suits the car’s character, though stop‑start city crawling can feel choppy in traffic.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Claimed consumption figures spread from about 6.7 to 9.1 L/100 km, reflecting the low-output 1.5-litre petrol at the economical end and the hot 2.0-litre 300 hp at the thirsty end. In everyday mixed driving expect mid-to-high single digits for the 150–190 hp engines and nearer double digits in town for the 300 hp variant, with CO2 figures running roughly between 152 and 207 g/km. With a full 55-litre tank the most efficient versions can cover well over 700–800 km on a motorway run, while the range drops noticeably for the performance models. That makes the Ateca practical for weekly commutes and weekend trips, though regular enthusiastic driving will increase pump visits.

Assistance & Infotainment

The technology package includes a modern infotainment screen, smartphone integration and a configurable digital instrument cluster that puts key data in view; optional upgrades bring better sound and navigation features. Driver aids such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping and parking assistance are available and work competently, though some functions can be conservative in urban traffic. The interface aims to balance physical controls with touchscreen convenience, which most buyers will find sensible for daily usability. Overall the tech complements the sporty character without overwhelming the driver with gimmicks.

Who is it for?

The CUPRA Ateca suits drivers who want a compact SUV that looks and feels sportier than the average family crossover but still carries practical day-to-day utility. Buyers who value sharp handling, strong mid-range performance and a stylish interior will find it appealing, especially in the 190 hp sweet spot that mixes pace with reasonable consumption. Families or owners needing generous luggage space and easy usability will appreciate the boot and sensible ergonomics, while performance fans can opt for the 300 hp range-topper. In short, it targets those who want a usable SUV that doesn’t hide its appetite for driving fun.
