Performance and Powertrain
The CUPRA Ateca comes roaring with a range of petrol engines, offering options from a moderate 150 HP to a robust 300 HP, delivering swift acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds in its top configuration. With a dual-clutch automatic transmission, enthusiasts can enjoy seamless gear changes, optimizing the driving experience. The choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive further enhances its adaptability across terrains, catering to different driving preferences.
On the other hand, the Kia Sportage brings a diverse powertrain palette, from diesel to petrol, and even hybrid models. Its engines vary from 136 HP in its diesel MHEV version to 252 HP in the plugin hybrid variant. While not as aggressively tuned as the Ateca, the Sportage promises efficient, practical performance with its multiple eco-friendly options. Its lineup includes front-wheel and all-wheel drive options, complemented by transmissions that offer smooth manual, automatic, and dual-clutch variations.
