SEAT debuted the new FR trim level for the
Tarraco SUV at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show and has now added an FR Sport
model. Available in the UK from February 11, the 2020 SEAT Tarraco FR and FR
Sport trim levels bring a more dynamic look and added features to the
seven-seat SUV. As with the model on sale in mainland Europe, Britain’s Tarraco
FR brings a more aggressive body kit to the table.
It consists of sports bumpers, dynamic
twin exhaust, unique rear spoiler, as well as black moldings, wing mirrors and
roof rails. Also part of the package are the dedicated 19-inch alloys, front
sports seats and an electric driver’s seat.
As for the SEAT Tarraco FR Sport, it
boasts an even more dynamic appearance thanks to 20-inch ‘Cosmo’ grey alloy
wheels and black leather sports seats. The FR Sport also gains more tech as
standard, including rear and top-view cameras along with SEAT’s winter pack
consisting of heated front and rear seats and heated washer nozzles. The
self-parking Park Assist system is standard on both the FR and FR Sport and it
includes front parking sensors.
Customers can have the Tarraco FR and
Tarraco FR Sport with a choice of three engines: a 148 HP 1.5-liter
TSI Evo turbocharged four-cylinder petrol, 148 HP 2.0-liter TDI
four-cylinder turbo diesel and 187 HP 2.0-liter TDI oil burner. The
petrol unit is only available with front-wheel drive while the 4Drive AWD
system is optional on the 148 HP diesel and standard on the 187 HP variant.
Available transmissions include a standard
six-speed manual for the 148 HP petrol and diesel engines and an optional
seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic (standard on the 187 HP diesel). Prices
for the Tarraco FR range between £ 31,680 and £ 38,070 for
the 148 HP 1.5 TSI Evo and 187 HP 2.0 TDI DSG 4Drive, respectively. Equipped
with the same engines, the SEAT Tarraco FR Sport is priced between £ 33,430 and £ 39,820.
