Seat’s flagship SUV, the Tarraco, has
only been available in either FWD with a six-speed manual gearbox or AWD with a
seven-speed DSG. Now, though, it can be ordered with FWD and seven-speed
automatic transmission paired to the 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol burner.
The TSI power unit delivers a maximum
output of 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque available
between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. In this spec, it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a respectable 9.5 seconds, and max out at 198 km/h. In
the WLTP test cycle, it has an average consumption of 7.2 l/100 km (39.2 mpg UK
/ 32.7 mpg US) and emits 164 g/km of CO2.
Pricing for this version of the
Tarraco starts at £ 29,990 in the UK, whereas for the
XCellence, you’re looking at a minimum of £ 31,990. The model
is available in the SE, SE Tech, XCellence and XCellence Lux trim levels, with
the entry-level getting standard features such as the 17-inch ‘Dynamic’ alloy
wheels, rear parking sensors, Media System infotainment and digital instrument
cluster, among others. For the top grade, Seat has reserved the 20-inch
‘Supreme’ alloys, Top View camera, Winter Pack and leather upholstery.
The Tarraco SE has an MSRP of £ 28,320 in Britain, followed by the £ 29,350 SE
Technology and £ 30,410 XCellence, while the XCellence Lux can
be had from £ 32,170. Aside from the 1.5 TSI, the mid-size SUV
is also available with the 150 PS 2.0 TDI, with FWD and AWD,
as well as the 190 PS version of the same diesel burner, in
the XCellence and XCellence Lux grades, that’s offered solely with AWD.
