Seat Tarraco 2020 - 2024 Review

The SEAT Tarraco is powered by the same 1.4-liter turbocharged engine found in the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan, producing 150 hp between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm. Power is available early, allowing for increased acceleration. Torque is available at 250 Nm between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm, and it's mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The car's top speed is 199 km/h (120 mph) and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.3 liters per 100 km (72 mph). A 58-liter fuel tank makes it less economical to operate, and actual fuel consumption figures are slightly higher than the company's official figures.

The car is easy to switch between Comfort and Sport modes, with the shifting being very smooth and distinct, demonstrating the car's capabilities and the difference between each mode. The car also boasts good acceleration and excellent performance despite its large size, showing great agility in performance with varying steering wheel response and gas mileage depending on the driving mode. The engine's response is good and provides excellent performance, though it's not the best sporty performance, but it allows a car of this size to achieve a clear sporty aspect. The transmission's good response provides the car with agile performance and handles the car's large size and heavy weight with ease.

Although the engine is traditional and well-known to Seat, it is ultimately a reliable and well-tuned engine, and the transmission is also a wet dual-clutch, providing the car with good performance while being reliable, without the problems associated with dual-clutch transmissions. The wet version is oil-cooled and can withstand pressure, weather, and traffic conditions, unlike the dry versions, which cannot withstand hot and difficult conditions and have previously experienced numerous problems. This provides the best possible performance for this size of car, offering great agility despite its family size.

The car is 4735 mm long, 1839 mm wide, and 1674 mm high. It weighs 1638 kg, has a trunk capacity of 700 liters, and a wheelbase of 2790 mm. The car has five seats in the first trim level and seven seats in the three subsequent trim levels.

The car features seven seats in the cabin, including two in the front, three in the second row, and two in the third row. It also features Olot fabric upholstery with Alcantara accents or black Vienna sport leather seats, adjustable driver and front passenger seats with lumbar support, a three-way power driver's seat with memory, separate front and rear seat heaters, separate rear seats, a two-way sliding second-row seat, four-way adjustable headrests, a multi-function leather sports steering wheel, steering wheel pedals, chrome accents inside with footwell lighting, ambient lighting, a black headliner, gray wood accents on the dashboard, or gray aluminum trim, and cup holders in the third row. The cabin features comfortable seats that embrace the driver and provide lateral support, an easy-to-use instrument cluster, and a simple-to-use, easy-to-use floating screen. Flexible interior materials, chrome trim, and leather.

As for noise around the car, vibration, harshness, and insulation, it is considered very good, especially for external noise. Engine sound insulation is average in normal mode and less in sport mode. Wind noise is noticeable at 120 km/h and above, while no noises are heard from the cabin. The insulation of the cabin is very good in general.

Visibility is very good on the road because the SUV's seat is high, the glass areas are large, and the driving position is high, revealing everything around the car. Front vision is good, and the mirrors are large and can fully see the road.

The car features large storage spaces in the doors and the rear trunk, which is approximately 300 liters when the third row is in place, and up to 700 liters. liter when the third row is folded down with a storage shelf underneath.

The third row of seats is more suitable for children than adults. Access to the third row is a bit difficult, as there is a large, high transmission tunnel that may hinder the middle passenger in the second row. Sitting in the second seat is comfortable, as it is very spacious and can comfortably accommodate three passengers. The passenger's feet can be placed under the front seat, with a table in the backrests of the front seats. The car also has a large entry and exit angle.

The periodic maintenance prices for the Seat Tarraco are quite high due to the lack of people who deal with the car outside the dealership. Therefore, spare parts for the car are not widely available outside the dealership and their prices are high, which is typical for European cars, especially the high-priced categories.

The car comes with a ground clearance of 190 mm (19 cm), which is a significant height that makes it easy to handle bumps and rough roads. The car's handling is good, and you don't feel like it's bulky or large, especially when maneuvering the steering wheel. There's very little body roll, and the suspension is balanced to provide sporty performance while offering comfort and stability. The steering wheel feels heavy when accelerating.

The suspension is good, reducing vibrations and encouraging quick maneuvers with good stability. The multi-link rear suspension handles bumps well and is comfortable to ride and drive, as it's independent and provides good stability. The suspension is somewhat harsh, which helps ensure stability.

The car also has a differential locking system that provides control over each wheel, making it easier to navigate curves. The car handles well with a sporty driving style, despite being a large car, without any body roll, and the steering is unaffected by body roll.

Seat Tarraco's resale value is low due to the car's low popularity in Egypt compared to its competitors, given its high price, concerns about spare parts, and the lack of availability in large quantities. However, availability is somewhat good for used 2021 models, and the rest of the models are rarely available. The car, in general, is not widely available in the used market, and its resale value is slow due to its high price and the lack of demand for it as much as other competitors from Korean, Japanese, and even Chinese brands.
