The SEAT Ateca is the Honest John Car of the Year 2017. It took the plaudits after it proved to be the most popular car with HonestJohn.co.uk readers over the past 12 months. 

As well as taking the ultimate Car of the Year prize, the Ateca also claimed the hotly contested Most Popular Crossover Award, reinforcing its status as one of Britain's favourite new cars. 

“We had to wait a long time for SEAT’s first crossover, but the good looking and affordable Ateca is proof that good things do indeed come to those who wait," said Dan Powell, Managing Editor of HonestJohn.co.uk.

"Over the past 12 months, no other car has come close to matching the popularity of the Ateca, with our readers praising its style, comfort and frugal fuel costs. As a result the superb SEAT takes both the Car of the Year and Most Popular Crossover Awards for 2017.”
