Although its name may be misleading, the SEAT Ateca FR Special Edition is not an ultra-limited special edition of the brand’s compact SUV. It is rather a finish that occupies the high part of the range and will meet the equipment needs of the most demanding. In fact, it is based on the FR sports car, while completing it with exemplary equipment. The main novelty is that it is now also available with the access mechanics, something that had not been done until now.
The FR Special Edition was exclusive to the 150 hp 1.5 TSI and has been on sale for several months now. However, the manufacturer has also seen the potential of this equipment level. in the 1.0 TSI 115 hp enginewhich remains one of the most popular in this model. Without going into the technical characteristics that the Ateca achieves with this engine, it is more important to focus on the new features. And that is that you can distinguish it by the specific FR bumpers with wheel arches, spoiler and splitter in the body colour.
Outside the SEAT Ateca FR Special Edition you can also see some striking 18 inch wheelsin addition to the Full LED headlights, something typical of this finish. If we jump to its interior, the most notable would be the upholstery in black Dinamica fabric, the multifunction leather steering wheel or the aluminum pedals. Also added are some interesting elements for everyday use, such as the automatic parking assistant with 360º camera, the electric tailgate or the Kessy keyless opening and starting system.
The sporty touch does not want to stay only in its aesthetics and that is why this model benefits from the electronic differential lock (XDS), progressive steering or the driving modes of the SEAT Drive Profile. All this added to the equipment that was already available with the 1.0 TSI 115 hp engine makes the Ateca occupy a higher level and put it in the sights of many users. In addition, it is advertised with a Starting price: 31,100 eurosvery balanced considering its complete endowment.
