CUPRA, the ultimate expression of unique sophistication and performance, has taken the striking design, progressive technology and performance of its CUPRA Ateca to the next level with the launch of a Limited Edition model.

The model, limited to 100 units in the UK, brings increased levels of performance and design to the high-performance SUV. It is available in Rhodium Grey priced at £42,120 and exclusive Graphene Grey with Akrapovic Exhaust System costing £45,160.

The halo model blends the 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI petrol engine with a seven-speed DSG transmission and 4Drive (four-wheel drive) system to achieve 0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds, a top speed of 153mph and a distinctive, pulse-racing exhaust note.

Available on 20 of the UK models, the titanium Akrapovic exhaust system saves 7kg in overall weight to offer the ultimate in sophisticated performance.

Further expanding the performance, an ABT Sportsline power upgrade is available from UK retailers, pushing the power and torque to 350PS and 440Nm respectively. This boosts mid-range torque to improve drivability and response when on the move.

The CUPRA Ateca Limited Edition exterior boasts a host of styling cues, including the newly-designed 20-inch copper alloy wheels, a unique copper thread carbon fibre roof spoiler that enhances aerodynamic performance, as well as copper thread mirror covers and stylish copper CUPRA lettering.

The large wheels also allow for the fitment of standard 18-inch Brembo brakes which increase the stopping power.

Inside, the interior offers superb levels of comfort, modernity and sophistication. The vehicle’s exclusive new colour is complimented with the combination of black frames around the dashboard and infotainment screen, copper carbon fibre interior mouldings and exclusive Petrol Blue Alcantara bucket heated sport seats.
