As soon as the driver pushes the start button, the Ateca X-Perience is ready for adventure; adapting itself to every driver situation, road condition, and personal preference at any moment thanks to the Driving Experience drive selector located on the centre console. The Seat Drive Profile offers Normal, Sport, Eco, and Individual modes.

However, it's also possible to go a step further, thanks to the 4Drive traction control settings, provided by the efficient Haldex system, which includes two additional profiles for snow and off-road; as well as Hill Descent Control function.

"The X-Perience is an exercise to show the Ateca family's possibilities and potential in the future. We know that with the Ateca, we can go much further and it will be on display at the Paris Motor Show," said Seat Vice President of R&D, Dr. Matthias Rabe. "With the Ateca X-Perience we can go beyond that which we already have in the series. It's for the customer that wants to go further, taking it to the extreme, for weekend adventures; and of course, off-road."

The Seat Ateca, which arrived in U.K. showrooms earlier this month, launches ahead of Seat's next three new models due in 2017.
