Seat held a presentation of the new flagship - the 7-seat crossover Tarraco, which has a place in the line above the off-road vehicles Ateca and Arona.

First, the novelty will be sold with 4 engines. The basic one is a 1.5-liter "turbo-quarter" with the power of 150 "horses" and a front-wheel drive and a 6-speed MCP. Another 2.0-liter 190-hp motor will appear with a 7-step "robot" for 2 clutches with the all-wheel-drive system. Among the types of diesel, there are two units of 2.0 liters with the power of 150 and 190 hp. Each such option is equipped with an all-wheel-drive transmission. Next, a hybrid version of the cross follows.
