Jack Quick drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Stellar driving dynamics
- Beautifully weighted steering
- Lots of physical buttons and knobs
Misses
- Not a big price hike to the more powerful VZx
- Lots of similarly priced Volkswagen Group rivals
- Black interior looks bland, lots of hard plastics

The only interior colourway on offer is Petrol Blue, with copper stitching found throughout the cabin.
The Ateca will be available in the following finishes:

All finishes are a no-cost option, with one premium paint finish – Dark Camouflage – costing $475.
