You Can Now Get A FWD Seat Tarraco 1.5 TSI Matched To A 7-Speed DSG
In the Tarraco, the 1.5 TSI delivers 148 HP and, in this configuration, can sprint to 62 mph in 9.5 seconds
Seat's flagship SUV, the Tarraco, has only been available in either FWD with a six-speed manual gearbox or AWD with a seven-speed DSG. Now, though, it can be ordered with FWD and seven-speed automatic transmission paired to the 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol burner.
The TSI power unit delivers a maximum output of 150 PS (148 hp / 110 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque available between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. In this spec, it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a respectable 9.5 seconds, and max out at 198 km/h (123 mph). In the WLTP test cycle, it has an average consumption of 7.2 l/100 km (39.2 mpg UK / 32.7 mpg US) and emits 164 g/km of CO2.
