Unveiled this week at the Automobile Barcelona show, Seat U.K. is now whetting British customers' appetites with details of specifications and pricing for the sporty FR addition to its Ateca sport utility vehicle range. There is a choice of four powerful and efficient engines - two petrol and two diesel, all of them turbocharged. The entry point is the 1.4 Eco TSI 148bhp, available with a six-speed manual or DSG auto transmission.
Well worthy of the FR badge, it takes the Ateca from 0-100km/h in just 8.5 seconds and achieves a 201km/h top speed (manual version). Conversely, its official combined fuel economy and emissions figures are impressive at 22.2km/L and 123g/km. The brand new 2.0 TSI 187bhp, debuting in the Ateca, is offered exclusively with 4Drive all-wheel drive and DSG transmission. Its statistics are 17.2km/L combined fuel economy and 0-100km/h in only 7.9 seconds.
The 2.0 TDI 148bhp also comes with 4Drive for added traction, posting benchmarks of 0-100km/h in nine seconds exactly and 196km/h maximum, with 23.6km/L average fuel economy and CO2 emissions at 129g/km. Topping out the powertrain options is the 2.0 TDI 187bhp with 4Drive and seven-speed DSG transmission. It completes the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 212km/h. It also boasts an official 22.7km/L average, with CO2 at 135g/km.
