What is the SEAT Tarraco?
The Tarraco is a large family SUV that sat at the top of SEAT’s SUV range. It offered a raised driving position and, in some configurations, space for up to seven people. Its roomy cabin made it a practical choice for families and anyone needing space for passengers and luggage. The interior included a digital cockpit. Its name comes from Tarraco, the Roman name for Tarragona, and was chosen by public vote.
Generations and engines
The Tarraco had one generation, known as Generation I (KN2), sold from 2019 to 2024. It was designed and developed at SEAT’s facilities in Martorell, near Barcelona, and built in Wolfsburg, Germany. Across EU registration figures, engines ranged from 1.4 to 2.0 litres, with power from 110 kW (150 PS) to 180 kW (245 PS). Fuel choices included petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and natural gas. The UK range covered 1.5- to 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, with power from 110 kW (150 PS) to 180 kW (245 PS).
How economical is the SEAT Tarraco?
The lowest listed EU consumption is 1.9 L/100 km on the WLTP test for petrol, diesel and hybrid versions. The plug-in hybrid’s lowest official weighted figure is 1.5 L/100 km WLTP. That calculation assumes some driving is electric, so it is not directly comparable with a non-plug-in car’s figure. UK VCA figures list a low of 5.4 L/100 km WLTP for petrol and diesel versions. Test procedures differ by market: Europe uses WLTP or, for older figures, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure. EU registration figures record 173,303 Tarracos over 2018–2025.
Where was the Tarraco sold?
The Tarraco appears in EU and UK figures. The EU registration period runs from 2018 to 2025, while UK VCA figures span 2019–2024. Among the leading listed engines in EU registrations were the 2.0-litre diesel with 140 kW (190 PS), the 2.0-litre diesel with 110 kW (150 PS), and the 1.5-litre petrol with 110 kW (150 PS).
