so ended up in a Seat Ateca (5 seat version of the Kodiak)
Just quickly pointing out that the Ateca is not the sister car of the Kodiaq, but the Karoq. The SEAT sister car of the Kodiaq is the Tarraco.
Just correcting this for people who’re looking for a “big” car, the Ateca is a compact/hatchback on stilts (like the Karoq), whereas the Kodiaq/Tarraco are the mid-size SUVs.
Prior: SEAT Ateca Xcellence Lux 1.5 TSI DSG MY19, VW Golf GTE PHEV DSG MY23
Current: Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate
Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.
