SEAT debuted the new FR trim level for the Tarraco SUV at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show and has now added an FR Sport model.
Available in the UK from February 11, the 2020 SEAT Tarraco FR and FR Sport trim levels bring a more dynamic look and added features to the seven-seat SUV. As with the model on sale in mainland Europe, Britain’s Tarraco FR brings a more aggressive body kit to the table.
It consists of sports bumpers, dynamic twin exhaust, unique rear spoiler, as well as black moldings, wing mirrors and roof rails. Also part of the package are the dedicated 19-inch alloys, front sports seats and an electric driver’s seat.
