The Active info Display is a nice feature, but not a must. The central display for the Ateca is high enough for the driver to see it easily. For other VW models this "cluster-display" is really good, especially if you have the navigation option on the car.
Why would you want heavy AWD in the Seat when even the old 280 was "SHARPER, MORE AGILE AND FASTER" than the 300 BHP VW Golf R on a racing track with full throttle??? TEST HERE: ruclips.net/video/4tgdtVhQzJM/видео.html

Well done Thomas, once again, good interview and great to hear from an actual expert (who was also prepared to divulge just a little bit!). Thanks Team.
I really like the new digital instrument cluster. I have just ordered a UK spec Ateca for delivery in May 2018 and hoping Seat can find a way to let me add this option to my order.
Why is the Cupra R limited? 😱The carbon elements fit perfectly to the progressive exterior of the Leon Cupra. 👌😍 In my opinion Seat´s design of the virtual cockpit is the best one. Finally Seat gets this important feature. 👍 In my opinion the TGI is an interesting alternative for the TDI version! It was definitely a good decision of the VW group to invest much money for this technology in the future, because everyone talks only about the electro engine! Looking forward to more reviews with this technology : )
The cupra r should have at least 350 hp its pointless it having an extra 10 or so hp. They wont ever give the cupra r more than 310 hp because of the simple fact of the golf r. The cupra r cant have more power than the golf r with seat been a cheaper made version of vw

Thomas, do you if the cng engines will, or can have a higher hp-output, as well as torque-output?Because, if they can, and the cost does not incrementally increase at a steady linear rate, compared to the diesel one's, then I would personally pick them, since it would have greater power and greater economy compared again to diesel one's.
did u watch the whole CNG part in the video ? Also check out more CNG content: ruclips.net/video/muoIsEo-mjw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MDFwkmli1ME/видео.html
I'm in the process of ordering a cupra 300, delivery would be in march 2018, so I'm wondering if i should wait a bit for the digital cockpit. Do they plan to make available for order at the beginning of 2018, or actually start delivering at this date?
check the online configurator its allready available, at least here in the german configurator: Virtual Cockpit Volldigitales Kombiinstrument mit 10,25 TFT Display 430 € excellent choice btw
It's not on the UK configurator yet but is now available in the latest brochure dated November 2017. It also states that it is a standard option "Cupra only".
Thomas, I ordered an Ateca two weeks ago and they told me I would have to wait at least 6 months for it to be built, so apparently it will be built in 2018 but no mention of digital dashboard. Do they mean a digital dashboard can be ordered in 2018 or it will get integrated in cars built in 2018? Wondering if I should cancel the order and reorder with digital dashboard. Do you think that would be worth it?
It's going to be equipped on cupras built after the 2nd week of 2018, yours should be in production in February or march so you should be fine. Apparently it's standard in some countries and an extra option in others
Gute Frage. Ich würde jetzt mal davon ausgehen, dass es funktioniert, wenn man die digitalen Instrumente hat. Möglicherweise sind die digitalen Instrumente aber an das höhere Navi geknüpft?
Ah ok. Ich kann mir schwer vorstellen, dass die digitalen Instrumente von zwei unterschiedlichen Prozessoren angesteuert werden, das müsste dann egtl. derselbe sein
Hi, do you have any new about the subject? is there any difference between having a normal navi & VC or navi+ & VC? parallel display is available on both? thx
RS3 is 51k EUR on mobile. This one, as far as I've heard is around 48-49k and not 43-44k as the guy from SEAT said. Don't get me wrong, I love SEAT but I think this one is too expensive.
As a Cupra R this is dissapointing.... It's a gimmick to get a 799 boost in sales. Where the car actually only had 10hp more via a remap and has no realworld performance advantages and no 4wd option... Not sure if it's worth it?
This is probably because a more powered version would defeat the Golf R, if it doesn't do it already. The Golf GTI clubsport S has also 310 PS, so it seems that they don't currently want to go beyond the 310 limit.

SKIP TO 4:40 AND YOU WILL HEAR THOMAS SAYING LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLEEE BIIIIITTT ..... OH MAN WHATS WRONG THOMAS ARE YOU DIYING
Thomas, you say that you do most of your videos with VW group because other manufacturers do not give you cars for testing. Now you are on IAA where you have so many more interesting brands and you make 28 minutes long video with this irrelevant car. Come on man :D :D
Seat is definitely my choice in the VW family. Good looking design and Great value for money.
nokia_cult Skodas are a bit ugly :/
i literally CANNOT WAIT! to get a leon cupra with a digital dash!!! :D
finally someone reviewing the new digital cockpit. Thx!
np
Another one of the great Thomas badass Review,
Great that they have a cupra r version I would've rather seen Seat unveil the Ateca cupra.
I like the flexibility that the DC offers, its a must have for me now that its available in the UK.
Thanks Seat for integrating a digital cockpit that can actually let you choose to still have those analogue dials if you want to.
The Active info Display is a nice feature, but not a must. The central display for the Ateca is high enough for the driver to see it easily. For other VW models this "cluster-display" is really good, especially if you have the navigation option on the car.
They should've made it AWD would be a better alternative to golf R
They have
who will buy golf r then?

thanks! yeah Sven is really great!
yes, he came over as that :-)
Great interview Thomas ! You are a little bit responsible for my latest car purchase, cupra 290 st:)
thanks! I'm sorry =) enjoy!
what are these vents under the drivers seat? additional ac vents? my leon fr doesn't have that. very beautiful car, but FWD is a letdown.
I really like the new digital instrument cluster. I have just ordered a UK spec Ateca for delivery in May 2018 and hoping Seat can find a way to let me add this option to my order.
Will there be an special layout/view for the Cupra model? I think there are special layouts in the VC's for the Audi S models.
Best Regards

Like the copper tones
Cuál es su precio en México!???? Y qué colores están diseñando aparte de ése, combinado o normales

Additionally, if you can, make a video about cng engines, their future-expected future, and I fthey can have a higher power output!!!!Thanks!!!!

The Ateca gets it first, so I guess you would still have to wait a bit
Autogefühl thanks for your answer, and reviews which are in-depth and well made!
check the online configurator its allready available, at least here in the german configurator:
Virtual Cockpit Volldigitales Kombiinstrument mit 10,25 TFT Display 430 €
excellent choice btw
Wow didnt expect it to come that early
It's not on the UK configurator yet but is now available in the latest brochure dated November 2017. It also states that it is a standard option "Cupra only".
I am waiting for Ateca cupra with i cockpit and 9.2in infotainment.Any information Thomas?
no release date yet but we ll keep u updated for sure
ein Reserverad bei der PP-Bremse?!?! :D

think it will take some more time

Hi bzgl. der parallelen Navigation auf beiden Bildschirmen. Benötigt man im Seat Leon ST hierzu das Navi+ oder ist auch das normale Navi ausreichend?
Gute Frage. Ich würde jetzt mal davon ausgehen, dass es funktioniert, wenn man die digitalen Instrumente hat. Möglicherweise sind die digitalen Instrumente aber an das höhere Navi geknüpft?
Die Konfiguration des VC funktioniert zumindest mit beiden Naviarten. Ich werd mal schauen ob ich diesbezüglich vllt. noch was rausbekomme
Ah ok. Ich kann mir schwer vorstellen, dass die digitalen Instrumente von zwei unterschiedlichen Prozessoren angesteuert werden, das müsste dann egtl. derselbe sein
Hi, do you have any new about the subject? is there any difference between having a normal navi & VC or navi+ & VC? parallel display is available on both? thx
No i havn't got any new informations
Habrá dos puertas ??? Y un quema cocos no hubiera estado mal !!!
Is the "cupra R" always the final version?
It's the final performance version but there could be specification changes for the fr and normal versions to get rid of stock.
Thank you !
Good job team! Detailed as usual.
Unique car, I love it, too bad that is very expensive for a SEAT, you can buy RS3/C43 AMG/etc. with the same money.
thanks alex!
Rs3 cost 55k euro! Seat cost around half of this price
RS3 is 51k EUR on mobile. This one, as far as I've heard is around 48-49k and not 43-44k as the guy from SEAT said. Don't get me wrong, I love SEAT but I think this one is too expensive.
Alexandru Avram what a mobile you talking about?! Used rs3??? Check audi.de regular cupra cost around 30k
SunLoverMan mobile.de new cars, rs3 51k, cupra 27k
Dein englisch, ist deutlich besser geworden .
Profile view, looks like an SUV. Quite high for a sporty version.
As a Cupra R this is dissapointing.... It's a gimmick to get a 799 boost in sales. Where the car actually only had 10hp more via a remap and has no realworld performance advantages and no 4wd option... Not sure if it's worth it?
Also no gas struts on the bonnet Thomas! Not good
This is probably because a more powered version would defeat the Golf R, if it doesn't do it already. The Golf GTI clubsport S has also 310 PS, so it seems that they don't currently want to go beyond the 310 limit.

It seems like they completely ripped the 'R' checkered flag logo from Renaultsport
Carbon CAN be repaired!
SKIP TO 4:40 AND YOU WILL HEAR THOMAS SAYING LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLEEE BIIIIITTT ..... OH MAN WHATS WRONG THOMAS ARE YOU DIYING
wtf ?
xD
He got the 90s Traaaancemusic flashback with the skiiiping records
45.000€ for a Seat!!!😂
Seat play a trick on me.
+10cv
Plastics
Rare colours...
Seriously???
Thomas, you say that you do most of your videos with VW group because other manufacturers do not give you cars for testing. Now you are on IAA where you have so many more interesting brands and you make 28 minutes long video with this irrelevant car. Come on man :D :D
The external trim parts look like cheap after market parts. Alcantara steering wheel and the instrument cluster background is nice!
