This is the Cupra Ateca, the first buyable offering from Seat"s newly independent special branch (reminder: as of a few weeks ago Cupra is a separate brand, not just a boot badge, with a new logo apparently inspired by a budget tattoo). Whatever it"s called, what we have here is a scorchio version of Seat"s big-selling crossover. You might have hoped that Cupra"s first solo effort would be a wingy Leon. But no. Even Cupra can"t resist a crossover. Still, like the fastest Leon it has a 2.0-litre turbo with 296bhp and 295lb ft which, along with a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox and four-wheel-drive, means a 0-62mph time of 5.4s and top speed of 152mph. It also gets adaptive suspension, a louder exhaust and optional four-piston Brembo brakes.
