Ateca 4Drive boot options

[wraith-of-vern]

My partner has just bought a SEAT Ateca 2.0 TDI 4Drive Xperience and one of the first things we've noticed with the boot is the lack of a flat boot. From the service history it looks like ths was an ex-demo car that didn't have any boot options selected on it. We looked at the 2WD verisons prior to getting this and they all had a solid boot but the 4WD obviously doesn't.

I'm just wanting to know what the options are to get a flat sturdy boot surface, as you can see from the images it currently just has a peice of carpet sat over the base and the result is just an uneven surface for loading.

We've spoke to our local SEAT dealership and tried the high-edge boot tray (ref: 575061201H) which was the sturdiest version which didn't solve the problem because its still only a thick rubber. They have ordered a superseeded version of the liner we currently have to see if its a solid version, but I'm not convinced it will be.

Looking around, I saw part 575863463KCA9 (image 4 and 5) which looks to be a solid version with foam supports, but I'm not sure if those will line up for support. SEAT said they couldn't order this because its listed as a Skoda only part, so I'd need to go to the Skoda dealership.

Other options I'd seen from this forum is the Skoda spare wheel kit (57A093860C) which is quite well documented which might be the last resort. Just didn't want to lose the additional boot space just for the goal of a flat floor. Otherwise it might have to be a homemade plywood boot floor.

My Ateca 4drive I specified with the spare wheel and Seat Sound System it comes with the flat surface that fits over the skinny wheel. A trip to your Skoda Karog dealer is the answer and the spares desk in there. Show them the car and they should be able to fix you up. The Karoq and Ateca are identical cars boot wise.

Seat at launch didnt allow to post custom fitting the boot. If you didnt order it at the time you couldn't get the parts later. A couple of years passed then they put those fittings on the market... now taken back off so its Skoda Karoq for them. I did pin a couple of threads on the Seat Ateca and Cupra Ateca side which you can have a look at but what you are really after is the 4drive fitting. I don't think anyone published their how to guide with part numbers.

Basically with the axle in the rear the boot floor is raised compared with the 2wd. Enough room to fit a skinny. The raised floor is about 1/2" below the boot lip. So if you carry heavy stuff in the boot that slides the reversible rubber / carpet boot mat (pricy) is worth getting. Stuff in the boot stays stuck on the mat.The floor fitting for a 2wd is lower but you don't get a skinny in there.

Oh yes people did make plywood floors before you could buy the missing stuff never bought at the time when the car was new.
