We test drove the Seat Ateca – Terraco wasn’t released – and the Kuga. They were our shortlist, as both had 82cm or better tailgate height our hoist needs.
We found the Seat superior in many ways – infotainment, tech, looks etc. But, and it was a deal-breaking ‘but’ for us – the ride was harder than the Kuga’s, and our knackered backs couldn’t handle it.
We’ve had the Kuga Vignale since March and mostly love it, but the cabin/dash/infotainment feel at least a generation old.
