2019 Seat Tarraco Dimensions, Size & Specs

The curb weight of the Seat Tarraco ranges from 1501 kg to 1793 kg (approximately 3309 to 3951 lbs). This variation depends on the specific trim, engine option, and additional equipment. A higher curb weight generally offers more stability and a solid road presence but can impact fuel efficiency and acceleration. Conversely, lighter variants may offer improved fuel economy and nimbleness but might compromise on some features and ride comfort. The Tarraco's curb weight balances performance and efficiency, making it suitable for both urban and highway use.

The luggage capacity of the Seat Tarraco varies from 230 liters to 760 liters (approximately 8.1 to 26.8 cubic feet) with the rear seats in place. When the rear seats are folded down, the space available expands to between 700 liters and 760 liters (about 24.7 to 26.8 cubic feet). This flexible cargo space offers versatility for carrying everything from groceries and sports equipment to larger items like furniture or suitcases, making the Tarraco a practical choice for families and active lifestyles.

With mirrors folded, the Tarraco measures 1839 mm (72.4 inches) in width, but when mirrors are opened, the width extends between 2118 mm to 2188 mm (83.4 to 86.1 inches). This wider stance can make parking or navigating narrow streets and tight parking spots a bit more challenging, especially in urban environments. Drivers should be mindful of the extended width when opening the doors or maneuvering close to obstacles. However, the extended width also improves visibility and safety on highways by increasing the vehicle's lateral footprint.

A standard residential garage usually measures around 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) in width and 5.5 meters (18 feet) in length. The Seat Tarraco’s length of 4.735 meters (15.53 feet) fits comfortably within such garages. However, its width with opened mirrors, which can be up to 2.188 meters (7.18 feet), may be tight when entering or exiting the garage, considering additional clearance needed on either side. In general, the Tarraco fits in a standard garage, but caution is advised when opening doors or mirrors inside confined garage spaces.

The Seat Tarraco’s height ranges between 1658 mm and 1674 mm (65.3 to 65.9 inches), providing good headroom for passengers in both front and rear seats. The ride height and ground clearance of 192 mm (7.55 inches) help the SUV navigate uneven terrain and mild off-road conditions while also facilitating easier ingress and egress compared to lower passenger cars. This combination ensures passenger comfort and practicality, allowing both urban and adventure driving versatility.

The Seat Tarraco, introduced in 2018, is a larger SUV within Seat's lineup and does not have a direct predecessor under this nameplate, as it was Seat’s first large SUV offering. Compared to similar mid-size SUVs like the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace or Skoda Kodiaq (which share its MQB platform), the Tarraco offers comparable length (4735 mm), width, and interior space. It balances practicality with a spacious cabin and ample cargo capacity, making it competitive in terms of size and versatility in its segment.

The Seat Tarraco offers a range of rim sizes from 17 to 20 inches, including 7J x 17, 7J x 18, 7J x 19, and 8.5J x 20 variations. Corresponding tire sizes include 215/65 R17, 235/55 R18, 235/50 R19, 235/45 R20, and 255/45 R19 among others. Larger wheels with lower profile tires often provide sharper handling and a sportier feel but can slightly reduce ride comfort due to stiffer sidewalls. Conversely, smaller wheels with higher profile tires improve ride smoothness and absorb road imperfections well, making them suitable for comfort-focused driving.

The Seat Tarraco supports a maximum roof load of 75 kg (about 165 lbs). This capacity accommodates roof boxes, bike racks, or roof-mounted luggage carriers. It is essential for drivers to evenly distribute the weight and secure cargo properly to maintain vehicle stability and safety, especially at higher speeds or in adverse driving conditions. The roof load limit ensures that the structure is not overstressed while providing practical utility for transporting bulky items that do not fit inside the cabin.

The maximum weight (gross vehicle weight - GVW) of the Seat Tarraco ranges from 2150 kg to 2550 kg (approximately 4740 to 5620 lbs), depending on model variant and equipment. Heavier variants generally have higher payload capacity and improved towing capabilities, making them better suited for carrying heavy loads or trailers. This weight range supports diverse driving needs, from daily commuting with a full passenger load to towing small boats or trailers for recreational use.
