Seat goes big and bold with the new Tarraco

The future design direction of new Seat models has been unveiled as the wraps have come off the all new Tarraco.

The large SUV - named after the Mediterranean city of Tarragona, a historic cultural centre with a spirit that is young and adventurous - completes the Barcelona-based manufacturer's SUV range. 

The Tarraco sits at the top of Seat's SUV family, as the bigger brother to both the Ateca and Arona, and mixes state-of-the-art technology, dynamic and agile handling, practicality and functionality with elegant, progressive design. 

The Seat Tarraco has been engineered for drivers looking for excitement and functionality in a single vehicle. People who need the practicality of up to seven seats and the space to transport family and friends, but appreciate a vehicle that reacts to the driver's inputs and offers dynamic performance. 

The key to its nuanced approach to practicality and dynamic behaviour is the latest technology from Volkswagen Group and the MQB-A long wheelbase architecture that underpins the large SUV.

Two petrol variants will be available - a four-cylinder 1.5-litre TSI unit that produces 148bhp and is linked to a six-speed manual transmission powering the front wheels, and a 2.0-litre, 187bhp offering mated to a seven-speed DSG gearbox and 4Drive total traction system. The Seat Tarraco will also benefit from alternative powertrain technologies in the future.
