Seat: Already 1000 orders for the Ateca
Day of days for Seat in Switzerland: As of now, the Ateca SUV is available for test drives at the brand's garages. The fact that the new model has already been well received is shown by the more than 1000 orders for the Spaniard that have been received so far. And Peter [...] is convinced that the end of the line is still a long way off.
And Peter Schmid, Head of the Seat Switzerland brand at AMAG, is convinced that the end of the line is still a long way off: "With its compact character, its chassis that is optimally tuned for all needs, and its powerful engines, the Ateca offers a driving experience that sets new standards in this segment. The car is a perfect fit for an urban and versatile lifestyle. The initial reactions have clearly shown us that." The interest shown by the Schweizer family underpins his forecast at a time when other manufacturers are complaining about a lack of sales.
Motors and gearboxes as desired and required
When it comes to the powertrains: The combination of DSG and all-wheel drive is interesting for Swiss customers. The importer assumes that the 1.4 EcoTSI 150 hp and the 2.0 TDI 190 hp models with 4Drive and DSG will be among the most sought-after variants. For those who can live with less power, there is the 1.0 EcoTSI or the 1.6 TDI, each with 115 hp. Power is transmitted via a 6-speed manual transmission or DSG with six or seven gears.
Prices start at 19 250 Swiss francs for beginners
The Reference, Style and now Xcellence equipment lines are available for the Seat Ateca. According to the list, prices start at 21,750 francs for the 1.0 EcoTSI with 115 hp and manual transmission. In addition, a launch package with interesting accessories is offered with a customer advantage of 100 francs (applies only to Style and Xcellence). Quite warm around the heart becomes prospective customers, if they form online over the smart Spaniard: The price scale for newcomers starts at 19,250 francs thanks to the premium boost. For that, there is then a whole lot of reasonable car in front of the door. The seven-year-old Jasper shows you what else Seat has to offer during a factory tour in Martorell.
