Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Audi has simplified the Q3 lineup for 2021 by dropping the top-flight Prestige trim level and splitting its features into available Technology or Convenience packages on the remaining Premium and Premium Plus trims. The entry-level Premium model now comes standard with power-adjustable front seats, lane-departure warning, and steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. The Convenience package now includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an integrated compass, heated power-folding exterior mirrors, and LED interior lighting.

Pros
Sharp styling,
plentiful tech features,
spunky driving demeanor.

Cons
Tight rear quarters,
noticeable turbo lag,
a few cheap interior materials.

The Cupra Ateca SUV is a brilliant family car that’s fast and great to drive, but you’ll have to accept its gloomy interior and boy racer exterior complete with tuner-esque branding.

PROS
Surprisingly nimble
Fizzing performance
Still practical

CONS
Boy racer looks
Dark, gloomy interior
A VW Golf R costs less

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The Cupra Ateca gives you huge performance and impressive practicality for a reasonable price, but the Ford Puma ST will deliver even bigger thrills for significantly less money. And, if you’re after a sports SUV with an upmarket interior and a cosseting ride, then we’d take a Cupra Formentor.

PROS
Cheap by all-wheel drive performance SUV standards
Just as practical as a regular Seat Ateca
Very well equipped

CONS
Expensive compared with many conventional hot hatches
So-so interior quality
Engine could sound fruitier

PROS
Hot hatch performance with SUV styling and practicality

CONS
Infotainment isn’t easiest to use,
Formentor is more stylish
