Video reviews

[MS887]

There are some video reviews on Youtube. They all seem to be from Australian youtubers, but they tested Terramar in Spain.

Is it bigger than an Ateca?

 

[BaldPirate]

Yeah, it's the size of a VW Tiguan.

There doesn't seem to be a VZx version, yet.
I don't think that this warrants a upgrade from my Formentor.

Edit: Option 4 seems to be the VZx version. Would definitely flash a tune on it.

A few more in German and Spanish language. I don't know why they are releasing in specific languages and not all at once. Maybe some sort of embargo for different countries.

Hey, do you think a 333 hp version will be launched soon (with real exhaust ) ?

 

[BaldPirate]

How do you all feel about the wheels? They seem a little dull to me.

 

[MS887]

So far they didn't show any version with real exhausts.

For the wheels I would go for the standard (on VZ) Cosmic 19", looks ok. I also like Hadron 20", but don't like any bronze options.

They probably flew out the reviewers country by country. The board gets invites at short notice for the staff. So it was probably German week in this case etc. Never been on one of these jaunts myself. Presume wined and dined .

I reckon it will replace the Ateca in the future. The Skoda factory where the Ateca and Karoq are built will go onto to build something else or they will use the Ateca factory capacity. The Terramar is built in an Audi plant in the East. Cupra are trying to get Cupra only models out in the future so the Seat Ateca may be the one that goes on whilst this one takes up its place on the Cupra side. Possibly. Suppose to be a face lifted Seat Ateca coming out so the story goes. If correct the Seat Ateca goes on. Depends what they can sell and image.

On the Seat Tarraco board side they were non plussed about space in the back Terramar with the sloping roof. You got the rear seat flexibility (sliding) that isn't in the Ateca but in the Tarraco. Sliding rear seat but sporty sloping roof for 6'3" kids was what was said would be an issue. You got to sit in all of these for comparison.
