SEAT ATECA

PRICE: -  |  DISTRIBUTOR: Vertex Euro Motors Pte Ltd

Although the 1.5-tonne Seat Ateca feels slightly underpowered at high speeds, it's by no means a slouch from the lights. Thanks to its dual-clutch's quick response to throttle inputs, as well as its 250Nm of torque, acceleration is brisk.

More importantly, its interior is properly laid out and well thought out, with all buttons and features within easy reach. Its 485 litres of boot space is also more than sufficient for your weekly grocery shopping, making this Seat a great contender amongst its peers.

CAR OF THE YEAR 2018

WINNER
PRIZES
MITSUBISHI
ECLIPSE CROSS
="nominees
Cycle & Carriage Mitsubishi
The Eclipse Cross sports a refreshing exterior design, with its sharp lines and sloping roofline. It is most distinctive at the rear, with an interesting lighting signature where the brake light strip bridges the tail lamps.

Also refreshing for an SUV is the car's perky nature on the road. Thanks to its turbocharged 1.5-litre engine that sends 161bhp and 250Nm of torque to the front wheels, this Mitsubishi is the zippiest one amongst its peers in this segment.
PEUGEOT
5008
="nominees
Cycle & Carriage France
The Peugeot 5008 boasts a striking and handsome design. Inside, it is certainly one of the best in its class to sit in, exuding the kind of quality you would normally experience in premium SUVs.

Besides looking sleek and futuristic, the built quality is good, and there's a high level of comfort in the cabin. And when it comes to space, this SUV will not disappoint. With the third row folded, there's 780 litres of space, which expands to a massive 2,150 litres in two-seater mode.
SKODA
KODIAQ
="nominees
SKODA Centre Singapore
Skoda's tagline is 'Simply Clever' and the Kodiaq certainly lives up to that. Aside from a logical, well-presented dashboard and a crisp 9.2-inch infotainment system, the Kodiaq features several other functions that are meant to make everyday life easier.

For instance, there are built-in umbrella slots in the front doors, akin to those you would find on a Rolls-Royce. Also, its door edges are equipped with a plastic strip, which pops out when opened for protection against walls and other cars. And with three rows of seats, a solid drivetrain and a comfortable ride, this all-rounded Skoda is, without a doubt, extremely good value for money.
