Seat Tarraco phased out to make room for new Cupra Terramar SUV

Not all SUVs enjoy great popularity, as evidenced by the Seat Tarraco. The largest car in the Spanish brand's lineup is disappearing from the market.

The Tarraco debuted in 2018 as the Spanish counterpart of the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. It was a large, good-looking, and reasonably priced SUV backed by Seat's typical 5-year warranty. Despite this, it never became a sales hit.

In June 2024, it was decided to end the model's production to make way for a new SUV branded by its sibling, Cupra. This model, called the Terramar, will appear in showrooms later this year.

In a statement published by the brand, the company mentions that "The Tarraco was a success, but it will not have a successor." The company also added that "from mid-2024, it plans to focus on the Terramar model."

The car will have an interesting design and a sporty character. It will also offer various drivetrains, including standard combustion engines and plug-in hybrids.

We will learn the detailed specifications and offers shortly. Time will tell whether the Terramar will be more successful than the Tarraco.
