CLOSELY relatedtot he SkodaKodiaq, theSEAT Tarrac ooffer sseven

seatsas standard, whichmakes it an alternativetopeople carriers

such as SE AT’s ownAlhambra. It’scertainly asmart-lookingcar,and

arguably the boldest expression yetofSEAT’scurrent design language.

Under thesurface, there’s littletos eparatethe Tarrac ofromthe

Kodiaq. There’sachoiceofturbocharged 1.5-litreand 2.0-litrepetrol

engines, whichwillsuit those who don’texpect to coveravery high

annual mileage, as well as two2.0-litrediesels.

Inside, theTarrac oispleasingly de signed andwell equipped. The

dashboardhas asmoother,morerounded look than previousSEAT

designs, with afree-standingeight-inchinfotainmentscreen that’s

modern andeasytoreach whenyou’reonthe move.

There’sgenerousinteriorspace,too –atleastfor those who occupy

the first and secondrows.The thirdrow,meanwhile,isbest treatedas

extraspace when twoextrapassengers needto travelashortdista nce.

Alte rnatively,you canfold themto cre ateauseful 700-litreboot.There’s

bags of safety equipmentas standard, and moreavailable at extracost.

As aversatile family SUV,the Tarrac oticks most of the boxes. But

distinctivelooksaside, theSpanish SUVfails to outshine ourfavourites.
