T-Roc versus Ateca

DavidUK

Simple question... T-Roc R-line 1.5l petrol auto or Ateca Xcellence 1.5l petrol auto? Similar price on PCP with the T-Roc slightly more expensive on the monthly payments. Any advice greatly appreciated! Many thanks

Both are VAG cars so I imagine fairly identical inside...

The Ateca looks nicer IMHO

don't forget to consider the Karoq and the Kodiaq - Likely similar priced too.

If you've got long legs the Kodiaq is great.

Thanks very much to everyone. A friend at work recommended the Kodiaq too so it sounds like it’s worth checking out!

The kodiaq is bigger then the your original 2 choices, the skoda equivalent is the Karoq ( i think)

If you have done plenty of research, are confident VAG have finally developed a TSi engine without inherent design flaws and the DSG gearbox in the car will be fault free, drive them all and see which you prefer.

Check delivery times. For a new vehicle 12+ weeks isn't unusual.

If you have any doubts about engines and gearboxes reliability look at other manufacturers.

Thanks again, everyone. On the issue of size, that confused me too when comparing cars. For example, I’m told the T-Roc is effectively a Golf SUV and an Ateca a Leon SUV, so they should be the like-for-like comparison. But then I’ve also been told that the Ateca is Seat’s version of the bigger Tiguan not the T-Roc. Seems to me that all the cars cross over with more than just one and so a consistent like-for-like comparison is hard to achieve!

Don't forget the VW T-Cross.

I would say the Seat Arona is more equivalent to the T-Roc, whereas the Ateca shares the same base with the Tiguan.

A Ateca is equal to a Tiguan
A T-Roc is equal to a Arona

On that basis look for Aronas and Karoqs which are the equal stable mates
