This is the most powerful engine in the Ateca range, with a four-cylinder motor producing 148bhp. It trims the 0-62mph time down to 9.0sec and top speed rises to 126mph.

Estate

Today, the resurgent Seat brand is selling better cars than at any time in its history.

In large part, that’s because it is one of the brands owned by the VW Group. Underneath, all of the cars it sells are strongly related to similar models sold by Volkswagen itself, or the likes of Skoda and even Audi. If you are buying a Leon, for example, the hardware will be similar to that of the Golf, Octavia and A3.

But while Seat makes the most of this tie-up to offer everything from city, small and family cars, including estates, through to a full range of SUVs, it also adds in its own slice of character, both with its distinctive styling approach and because its engineers generally tune the cars to deliver sportier handling.

While all of its cars are decent, it is the SUVs that stand out. The Arona and Ateca are among the class leaders and have enjoyed triumphs at the What Car? Awards.

Seat Ateca

The Seat Ateca is great to drive and its interior is more user-friendly than even some newer rivals. Meanwhile, it’s well equipped, offers plenty of space and competitively priced, meaning you’re looking at a practical SUV capable of putting a smile on your face that won’t cost a fortune. The Skoda Karoq isn't as specialised when it comes to handling agility but it is a slightly better all-round package in terms of comfort and versatility. Our pick of the Ateca range is the 1.5 TSI 150 in SE trim.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Running costs that won’t break the bank </li> <li>Generous kit</li> <li>Pokey engine and tidy handling</li> <li>Spacious interior</li> <li>Boot big enough to cope with family life</li></ul>

The car-buying public has fallen in love with small SUVs, or crossovers as they’re often called, with thousands turning away from conventional hatchbacks in favour of something that rides that little bit higher.
