Product Overview

SEAT Tarraco is a mid-size crossover in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.
Essentially a cheaper variant of the VW Tiguan, the Tarraco shares the same mechanical underpinnings. As such, it is not a bad option, even though the VW is not really more expensive.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the approach and departure angles that the chassis offers.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Seat Tarraco uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 67% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
From next February, Seat will have a three-model SUV line-up. It joins the small Arona and medium-sized Ateca in showrooms. The Tarraco comes in both front and four-wheel drive guises. Prices start at £28,320 for a 1.5 TSI 150 SE First Edition. The top-spec 2.0 TSI 190 Xcellence costs £40,000.
Pros
  • Powerful engines
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent standard equipment
Cons
  • Lack of practicality

autoexpress[2]

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The SEAT Tarraco is the company's first SUV with seven seats. With a large boot and generous level of equipment, it can comfortably meet the demands of a growing family. The third row of seats are best reserved for occasional use. Prices start from just over £29,000 for the SE 1.5-litre petrol.
Pros
  • Sleek looks
  • Cheap to run
Cons
  • Lack of standard equipment
  • No four-wheel drive

carmagazine[3]

Reviewer score 48% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
The Tarraco is said to be a styling bridge between the rest of Seat's current line-up and the all-new Leon. Of particular note is the more imposing, vertically-set grille garnished with a thick chrome frame, flanked by smaller-than-usual headlamps featuring a revamped LED lighting signature. While there are seven seats (Britain misses out on the five-seat version), the rearmost pair are only really sufficient for kids.
Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Sleek styling
Cons
  • Dieselgate-related cost-cutting
  • Lack of infotainment tech

carwow[4]

Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carwow have found:
The SEAT Tarraco has plenty of space for four adults and a couple more seats in the boot that kids will love. There's nothing flashy about the design – in fact, it's only a little fussier than the cabin you get in a Skoda Kodiaq. All models get a huge infotainment screen behind the steering wheel that's only an option in the Skoda.
Pros
  • Easy to drive
  • Good range of engines
  • Lots of space for two adults
Cons
  • No four-wheel drive
  • No automatic gearbox
