The New SEAT Ateca Among The Winners At The Auto Express New Car Awards

The Ateca, SEAT’s outstanding debut into the SUV market, has been recognised at the Auto Express New Car Awards by claiming the highly coveted Best Crossover title.

  • The SEAT Ateca signalled its quality by seeing off competition that included some of the best sellers in what has become a pivotal part of the market. The result puts down a valuable marker for the SEAT Ateca’s all-round appeal, ahead of its arrival in Pentagon SEAT dealerships later this year.

    Its success was part of a formidable across-the-board performance by SEAT in this year’s awards, with four other models posting commended results too: the Leon (previously a three-time winner) in the Compact Family Car class, the Leon ST in Estate car class, the Leon CUPRA 290 (another returning title-holder) for the hot hatch of the year and the new Alhambra for the MPV category.

    Commenting on the SEAT Ateca’s success, UK Auto Express Editor Graham Hope said: “The Ateca has made a dramatic entry into the crossover class and is a particularly impressive first effort from SEAT. It offers everything great about the Leon in a superb-looking new package and blends excellent performance with decent practicality and strong value for money. It’s a compelling new crossover option for buyers.”

    The judges’ opinions follow hot on the heels of a top five-star rating for the SEAT Ateca in the first UK road test as featured in the latest issue of the same magazine. In its detailed scrutiny of the 2.0 TDI 150 XCELLENCE 4Drive model, the magazine declared it “follows in the footsteps of the Leon and goes straight to the top of the class”.

    Vauxhall, Citroen, Mitsubishi, And Mazda Also Recognised At The Awards

    SEAT was not the only big winners of the night with several other car manufacturers scooping up prestigious accolades. The all-new Mazda MX-5 picked up the best roadster award, the Mitsubishi L200 won the best pick-up truck award, and the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso was named MPV of the year.

    The seventh-generation Vauxhall Astra clinched the award in the highly competitive compact family car of the year category, adding to its incredible performance at car awards since its launch in Autumn 2015. Awards the car has won since then include the highly sought-after What Car’s car of the year award and Autocar’s game-changer award.
