SEAT Ateca

SEAT is showing its first ever SUV at the Ploughing Championships

The Ateca will be on display from 20–22 September.

SEAT IS CHOOSING this week’s National Ploughing Championships to showcase its first ever SUV model – inviting attendees to view the car in the metal and experience its features first-hand.

Some of those features include wireless device charging, a new keyless entry start system called KESSY, an eight-inch colour touchscreen media system and driver assistance systems including Traffic Jam Assist and Emergency Assist.

Speaking about the event, Neil Dalton, Head of Marketing & Product at SEAT Ireland commented:

We are really excited to showcase the all new SEAT Ateca at this year’s National Ploughing Championships. The SEAT Ateca is a model we believe motorists across Ireland will instantly fall in love with.

The SEAT Ateca starts at €24,750 for the 115hp 1.0-litre TSI model and the 1.6-litre diesel model is priced from €26,450.

With its competitive pricing, SEAT is hoping to steal sales away from the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai.
