The new Seat Ateca has a distinctive and dynamic design, and good performance,” claims its manufacturer, and positive initial test impressions on this new Spanish compact SUV from the press bear this out.
However, there is more to come, and German tuner JE DESIGN, whose focus is on Seat, Skoda, VW and Audi models, have seen the inherent potential in this new lifestyle oriented Seat model and acted upon it.
Their Seat Ateca programme starts with a few simple accessories, which address both aesthetics and practical issues. A practical add-on is the protection strip for the top of the bumper where it meets the cargo bay. Available in silver or black metallic.
Sportier looks come from the TÜV approved tailgate mounted rear spoiler. By reducing lift over the rear axle at speed, this spoiler increases primary safety, while the improved aerodynamics may also contribute to improved fuel efficiency.
On the subject of safety, keeping the rear window clean in poor weather conditions is important, and the JE DESIGN side strakes that attach to each side of the rear hatch window both look good and channel air and road dirt away from the glass. They can be fitted with or without the rear spoiler.
