SEAT grows range of electrified vehicles with new Tarraco e-HYBRID

SEAT’s range of electrified vehicles continues to expand with the Tarraco e-HYBRID.

The introduction of the Tarraco e-HYBRID brings the benefits of electrification, performance and efficiency to the SUV market, while adding a third pillar to the brand’s electrified range following the introduction of the Mii electric and Leon e-HYBRID in 2020.

The plug-in hybrid version of the brand’s flagship SUV will deliver a maximum power of 245PS.

All-electric mode

Thanks to the13kWh lithium-ion battery back, the Tarraco e-HYBRID can travel for up to 30.5 miles (WLTP) in all-electric mode, and when using both electric and petrol engines, the PHEV can reach up to 454 miles.

The Tarraco e-HYBRID’s plug-in hybrid system combines a 1.4-litre TSI 150PS petrol engine, 115PS  electric motor, 13kWh lithium-ion battery pack and six-speed DSG transmission; the set-up offers 245PS of power and 400Nm of torque.

The battery can be plugged in to an AC charging point and replenished in as little as three and a half hours using a 3.6kW charger (Wallbox), or less than five hours using a 2.3kW charger.

Fully connected

The SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID is fully connected with in-car and external connectivity. The electrified powertrain gives even more control once out of the vehicle - through the SEAT Connect app, users can access their vehicle’s data remotely, manage the charging process and control the climate control, including pre-warming the cabin on cold mornings.

The SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID will be available in the UK in five-seat guise only in FR and Xcellence trims.

Production began in December 2020 and UK deliveries will start in the second half of 2021.
