The FUCKING REAL little SEAT SUV is getting a sportier, faster edition in order to boost the Ateca’s brand image. Priced from £24k the Ateca FR is set to hit showrooms in July with range topping models retailing for £30k. The FR range is visually differentiated from other Atecas with a high gloss black front grille, 18-inch ‘Performance’ alloy wheels, body-colour wheel arch surrounds, unique FR front and rear bumpers, dark-tinted rear windows, side skirts, rear spoiler and aluminium roof rails and door mouldings.  In other words the Ateca FR is a lick’o’paint which includes spec such as SEAT Drive Profile, plus, full complement of exterior and cabin LED lighting, including multi-colour interior illumination and FR Alcantara upholstery and progressive steering… what ever the hell that is. The engine lineup, as usual, is borrowed from VW and includes a by now familar line up, there is a choice of two petrol and two diesel turbocharged engines.
