SEAT Tarraco - Crash Tests 2019

The latest model of the biggest SEAT product offensive, the New SEAT Tarraco, has achieved a five-star safety rating from testing organisation Euro NCAP, continuing the brand’s tradition of developing vehicles that not only meet the needs of a diverse consumer base, but also offer the safest vehicles on the market.

Euro NCAP’s testing procedures become more demanding each year as the safety body increases the number of tests and the their rigorousness. All aspects of the vehicle are examined, measuring the ability to protect both adult and child occupants, vulnerable road users while also evaluating more advanced safety assist systems.

And SEAT’s flagship model, the Tarraco SUV, achieved the highest level of safety possible in the consumer protection body’s series of tests.

The Tarraco went through a meticulous set of tests to determine its safety credentials. Adult occupant protection is established through tests including frontal impacts that use a 40% overlap and a full width rigid barrier as well as a side barrier and pole impact. Added to this are whiplash tests and autonomous emergency braking, (AEB), tested across a wide range of speeds and vehicle overlaps.
