SEAT ATECA

SEAT Navigation System Standard Key features: Carplay, Android Auto

SE Technology adds sat-nav to the Ateca’s 8.0-inch Full Link infotainment system, which gets Apple Carplay and Android Auto as standard. Like the Peugeot, the smartphone integration is so good that there’s a case for only using your mobile device’s functions, with apps such as Spotify and Maps supported. DAB and Bluetooth are standard across the range, too.

Like the Peugeot, the SEAT ’s touchscreen is easy to use, but the graphics aren’t quite as sharp, so it looks a little grainier. However, it doesn’t ever lag behind your inputs like the 3008’s system sometimes does.

It’s clearly not as advanced, though, as the Ateca doesn’t get a full digital dash, even as an option, which means it feels a step behind the Peugeot here.

Voice control is standard and works across all areas of the system. It functions fairly well, too, as you don’t have to go through many frustrating procedures to confirm your commands.

TECH Eco Trainer app aims to measure how efficiently you are driving the Ateca and gives an mpg readout DISPLAY Performance data is a nice touch; Apple Carplay also features, and raft of settings are controlled from SEAT touchscreen
