The sleuths at MQB-Coding have struck again as they
have posted pictures of the all-new SEAT Tarraco. Announced earlier this week,
the Tarraco is a seven-seat crossover that is heavily influenced by the
Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. Despite the styling similarities between the two
models, the Tarraco has a unique front fascia with a mesh grille featuring a
prominent SEAT logo. The crossover also has LED-infused headlights and a
sculpted hood.
The sides are virtually identical to the Tiguan Allspace
and they have plastic body cladding and strong character lines. This particular
model has also been equipped with unique five-spoke alloy wheels. The rear of
the crossover is exclusive to SEAT as designers installed angular taillights
which are connected by a thin strip. Further below, we can see a plastic
bumper, a dual exhaust system and a metallic insert.
SEAT hasn’t said much about the model but Autobild
says the Tarraco will cost approximately € 30,000. The report also says we can
expect engines options to be sourced from the Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq. As a
result, the model could be offered with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine with
outputs of 125 PS and 150 PS. There could also be a 2.0-liter
four-cylinder producing 180 PS and 220 PS.
On the diesel side, choices may include a 2.0-liter
four-cylinder with outputs of 150 PS, 190 PS and 240 PS. A plug-in hybrid could also follow in a few years but little is known
about it.
Regardless of the final specifications, the Tarraco
is expected to debut at the Geneva Motor Show and SEAT has already confirmed
the model will go on sale late this year.
