We’re more connected than ever, with the need to take this digital world with us into our vehicles, which is why the CUPRA Ateca takes connectivity to another level.
At its centre is the Digital Cockpit, which brings together a high-resolution 10.25” user definable instrument cluster and infotainment system. The pixel-dense digital instrumentation provides greater functionality, allowing drivers to view everything from classic information found on analogue dials, such as speedometer and tachometer, to full-colour maps and navigation. An exclusive CUPRA display developed for CUPRA models shows RPM and speed more clearly and delivers a more emotional display.
The instrument cluster is linked to a large 9.2” infotainment system that offers navigation and natural voice control to simplify user interaction. And for simplicity the new CUPRA Ateca also includes illuminated Type C USB connectors making it easier to plug in, connect and charge without any hassle.
Voice recognition enables a natural understanding of language in order to allow the user to interact with the infotainment system using natural commands, making corrections and referencing previous commands. So, whether you need to find navigation information or search for music, it’s quicker and easier, and the system uses a simple wake-up phrase “Hola Hola” to get things started.
And with the Full Link system, customers can access their digital lives wirelessly, no matter what device they use; Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, using a wireless connection based on WLAN.
Users connect their mobile devices and bring their digital eco-system into the cabin. So, whether you want access to your contact list, the music or podcast that’s part of your journey or mapping systems, they’re all available, accessed in an intuitive and safe manner that won’t distract drivers from the road, using either the infotainment system or the integrated steering wheel controls.
The Online Connectivity Unit with embedded SIM means connections to the digital world are never lost, and in future developments the system will allow users to access the latest infotainment apps which can be updated at any time. That means the number of in-car and online services will grow through the life of the vehicle as the digital eco-system expands.
Built-in eSIM also means that the eCall service is available, which directly contacts emergency services should an incident occur, adding yet another level of safety to the vehicle. It’s not only the possibility to make an emergency call but also that important data from the vehicle will be sent directly to the emergency services such as car position, engine type, vehicle colour or number of passengers, making it easier for them to assist.
In addition, the online connectivity via the embedded eSIM allows some infotainment functions to use real-time cloud information, adding an additional dimension to the traditional navigation system. For example, online traffic information, parking and petrol station position and the opening times and current prices.
The Connect app opens a world of possibilities. The app can be downloaded to your smart device, giving remote control over a plethora of functions that will help maximise the driver enjoyment and help improve safety too.
Users can remotely access their vehicle’s data: driving information, parking position, vehicle status, including doors and lights, set up speed alerts so you can be warned if someone using your vehicle is driving too quickly, area and anti-theft alerts, open and close doors with the remote lock and unlock service, or remotely activate the horn and turn the signals on to find the car more easily.
