The CarGurus verdict
Conventional wisdom suggests that launching a product as early as possible into a new market gives a company a significant advantage, as consumers are impressed by innovation.

Seat doesn’t seem to have been too bothered by that theory, however. Most of its carmaking rivals had a large SUV on sale for quite a few years before Tarraco came along, but the Spanish brand’s confidence in its Johnny-come-lately model is justified, as it has managed to differentiate itself from the pack with a car that looks surprisingly good for a hulking off-roader.

Throw into the mix a relatively straightforward – and attractive – line-up of engines and trims, an impressive driving experience and seven-seat practicality, and you have something with a great deal of appeal for buyers on the lookout for something in this segment. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but it makes up for that by being well equipped and offering a sense of style that will chime with buyers who appreciate good design.
