| 2017 Seat Ateca Review - Test Drive |
Typical SEAT features include the optional full-LED headlamps with their attractive light colour and excellent luminance. Combined with the triangular signature of the LED daytime running lights, the overall impact is immediately distinguishable as a SEAT product. In the Ateca, the indicator lamps also form an integral part of this signature. State-of-the-art technology and an emotional experience go hand-in-hand in the SEAT Ateca. One example is the "welcome light". As soon as you unlock the doors, LEDs in the exterior mirrors illuminate the area close to the door sills, projecting the Ateca's name and silhouette onto the ground. The side profile clearly conveys the dynamics and performance of the new SEAT. The precise crease lines interact with sensually flowing forms, such as those around the lower door section, demonstrating not only the designers' fine feel for form, but also the expertise of SEAT's toolmakers and production specialists. Slightly rectangular wheel arches framed in black provide an imposing setting for wheels measuring up to 19 inches in diameter. Meanwhile, the window line framed in chrome and with a kink along the rear edge of the side window gives the car an even longer and more elegant line. The exterior mirrors sit on the door shoulders - a detail usually seen only on sports cars. Likewise, typical of SEAT is the highly sculpted rear with the licence plate recess set low down. The LED lights are pulled slightly upwards on the outer edges to emphasize the Ateca's powerful shoulders. The very low loading lip also points towards the high level of attention paid to optimum functionality.
