While the factory fresh Seat Ateca cuts a distinctive dash, it also wears a tall, typically SUV-like stance. Many owners will never take their cars off-road and so prefer a lower sportier ride height that JE DESIGN provides using 30 mm lowering springs designed to work with the original dampers. This is suitable for both front and four-wheel-drive variants.

When it comes to filling out the big wheel arches of the Ateca, JE DESIGN’s signature Tenspoke alloy wheel is the natural choice. Created in-house by JE DESIGN founder, Jochen Eckelt and his team, the Tenspoke is available in sizes from 19-inch upwards.

A set of four 8.5J x 20-inch ET45 wheels in trendy matt black with matching 245/35ZR20 tyres is available. Fans of even bigger wheels can opt for the 21-inch variant in matt black or graphite/front polished, and shod with 245/30ZR21 or 255/30ZR21 rubber.

Providing the go to match the show, a supplementary electronics box that boosts power from 190hp/140kW to 210hp/155kW, accompanied by a torque increase from 400 to 430 Nm. This increases the top speed from 212 to 220 km/h. JE DESIGN offers a two-year warranty (from the initial registration) on the engine, gearbox and drivetrain.

The fact that the performance of the Atecas has been uprated is hinted at by the sports exhaust system offering a choice between 80mm diameter tailpipes, or oval tailpipes measuring 160 x 90 mm. Both versions have EC approval, and are also available for all-wheel-drive diesel versions with 110 kW and 140 kW engines.

Complete conversions can be carried out by JE DESIGN, and include German certification for the vehicle. All parts come with certification, a general operating license (ABE) or EC type approval. JE DESIGN also has Swiss certification according to asa guidelines.
