Quite like the Avila myself. If it's not called that I'll call it the Plus myself :).... think I'll call it that in any case if I buy one. You can take the Ateca today, I'll take the Plus. I'm hoping it will have all the fine points of the Ateca plus the front passenger legroom which is missing from the Ateca if you are coming from a larger MPV to it. It should also have a nice long boot. The Kodiaq hopefully is the taster for it in space and the Allspace when you get to see it. It's sister cars. Should be 1' 2" longer than the Ateca based on the Kodiaq dimensions.

Looking at early 2019 I reckon in the UK to get your hands on it if you ordered it at the backend of 2018.

Edit February 2018.... VW Allspace is now in showrooms for the vital passenger front legroom test with the seat fully jacked up and pushed back for those that like it like that e.g. prefer to get their legs out rather than pulled in as per the Ateca. Similar to the Kodiaq, hopefully the Seat offering will be like this. Unlike the Kodiaq as far as the UK is concerned you can only get it as 7 seater, seats down gives you a big loading area. Also unlike the Kodiaq you can get the 240 bhp TDI in it although CO2 is up and consumption. Allspace is slightly bigger than the Kodiaq.
