Seat Tarraco (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard equipment	A little pricey compared with some rivals
Good to drive	Third row of seats really for kids only
Versatile interior	Badge doesn't quite have the kudos of a VW

Quick Summary

The Seat Tarraco (2018-present) is a stylishly designed seven-seat large SUV that arrived late to the market but has differentiated itself through sharp design and impressive practicality. The cabin is well-appointed with a spacious, usable layout featuring a 40:20:40 middle-row bench and optional third-row seats for occasional use. With a 700-litre boot and excellent interior versatility, the Tarraco offers more space than rivals such as the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe, whilst maintaining a commanding driving position and good visibility.

The Tarraco impresses with its driving dynamics, feeling more agile than competitors despite weighing over 1,800kg, with stable cornering and accurate steering. Technology is comprehensive, including an 8.0-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver display, and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are moderate for the class, though fuel economy is typical for large SUVs, with diesel engines achieving 44-48mpg officially and petrol variants returning 25-30mpg in real-world driving. Resale values are predicted to be among the best in its segment, and the Tarraco is well-equipped across all trim levels, justifying its premium positioning.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish seven-seat SUV with excellent practicality, good driving dynamics, and comprehensive standard equipment, particularly those who value design and versatility. Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers prioritising the lowest price in the segment, those requiring genuine adult space in the third row, or buyers seeking the premium badge appeal of a Volkswagen.
