CUPRA Ateca

Had been driving it for the last 5 months, and decided to write a short review about the car. This is not a usual family car with 300bhp & 400Nm under the bonnet, you can reach the highway speed and cruise leisurely in about 5.2sec. My average fuel consumption is around 10km/l with 80% Highway driving. And with Dynamic Chassis Control, you can select COMFORT when ferrying the family or CUPRA mode when want more stability and "G-force" During acceleration. Interior is ok, not as fanciful as compared to the Benz, but it still packs with most of the modern features like Dual Zone climate control, Apple Carplay / Andriod Auto, Audi-like Virtual Cockpit, Navigation (which I hardly use, as prefer Waze), Leather seats, rear aircon vent. Only complaint is the use of too many hard plastic in the cockpit, don't have felt lining in door pockets, like in the VWs, ratteling of my IU device after 3 months of ownership. I like the Emergency Auto Braking, and Reverse E-brake assist. Save me in a few near misses. The Adaptive Crusie Control is something I always use in a slow moving traffic during peak hours in the morning commute to work. What is missing is a lane departure warning, and steering assist. Cabin size is spacious, windows are big, and rear windows can wind down fully if needed. A/C able to cool down the car in no time even after parking under the hot sun for many hours. Boot space is a bit lacking compare to my station wagon I was driving previously, If you need boot space, wait for the Cupra Leon ST. Overall, my family likes the comfort of the car over my previous Japanese Wagon, and I love the acceleration as well as the stable platform that gives me confident in navigating the Singapore roads and traffic. And the best part is, many people will ask you "What car is this? Never see this car on Singapore Road before..."... Read More
