Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, south of Barcelona, it has a population of around 130,000.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing its platform with the Skoda Kodiaq and the slightly smaller Ateca, the Seat Tarraco will compete against the likes of the Nissan X-Trail and Hyundai Santa Fe.<\/p>\n<p>The new SUV will be offered with an assortment of petrol and diesel engines shared with other vehicles made by the Volkswagen Group. It&#8217;s likely that lesser models will arrive with front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission, with an AWD system and a DSG dual-clutch gearbox to be optional.<\/p>\n<p>Given Seat&#8217;s push into the electrified market, a mild hybrid, hybrid, PHEV or even EV derivative of the brand&#8217;s flagship SUV could be offered at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Production of the new Seat SUV will commence later this year at the Wolfsburg plant, in Germany, and we won&#8217;t be surprised if the automaker decides to launch it during the upcoming Geneva Motor Show next month.<\/p>\n<h3 \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/picss\/0102\/3fkuvph0sli.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/picss\/0102\/hd2vwnxpxtb.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/picss\/0102\/ertw4hqen2c.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/picss\/0102\/ltsz0wz1own.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/picss\/0102\/su3y0nwf5it.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>more photos&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The information comes via AutoMotorUndSport, which is citing &#8220;well-informed circles&#8221; and claims that the Tarraco name has been favored over the other finalists, which were Alboran, Aranda and Avila.
