Set to make its public debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, SEAT has announced that it’s Tarraco model will soon be available as a plug-in hybrid.

Due to go on sale in 2020, the Tarraco plug-in hybrid is a demonstration of the manufacturer’s strategy towards electrification, which will include six electric and plug-in hybrid SEAT and CUPRA models until the beginning of 2021.

The hybrid model is powered by a 148bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a 13kWh battery and a 113bhp electric motor. Additionally, the electric motor means that the PHEV will manage around 30 miles of zero-emission driving on a full charge.

Luca de Meo, President of SEAT, said: “The Tarraco plug-in hybrid perfectly illustrates our move towards a more sustainable mobility, yet maintaining the dynamism and fun-to-drive, typical of any SEAT. The Tarraco will be one of the few options with a plug-in hybrid powertrain on the large SUV segment, and we believe that it has a great potential.”
