Seat Ateca Praised as 'Secret Tip' in Auto Bild TÜV-Report 2025
The Seat Ateca, a compact SUV, has been praised as a 'secret tip' in the Auto Bild TÜV-Report 2025, commending its comfortable ride and minimal flaws. Despite not receiving a full facelift, the Ateca stands out in its class. Manufactured by Seat, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the Ateca offers a compelling package for used car buyers.
The Ateca often presents a more affordable option in the used car market compared to its corporate siblings, the Skoda Karoq and VW T-Roc. Its chassis is robust, with strong performance in drive shafts, steering, and tie rods. However, it's not without its issues. The Ateca has faced several recalls due to problems with airbags, the parking brake, and headlight adjustment.
On the reliability front, the ADAC rates the Ateca as 'reliable to very reliable', with no significant breakdown hotspots. Its lighting system also has a better-than-average defect rate. However, owners may need to keep an eye on the brake discs, which can wear out quicker than average by the third HU at seven years old.
The Seat Ateca, despite its recalls and potential brake disc wear, is a reliable and comfortable compact SUV, offering a good driving experience and a high seating position for better traffic overview. With a range of gasoline and diesel engines, it's a solid choice in the used car market, especially for those seeking a practical and affordable option.
