The Cupra Ateca is technically the oldest model in the new Cupra line-up in Australia, but it is still a competitive SUV. Plus, some might prefer its real knobs and buttons to the largely touchpad-driven interface of newer Cupra cars. It is a small SUV with 221kW of power (296 hp), AWD, and a great exhaust.

Rivals to the Cupra Ateca include its Cupra Formentor sibling, the Hyundai Kona N, Audi SQ2, AMG GLA35, BMW X2 M35i and other sporty small SUVs.

As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Cupra Ateca.
