As the world shifts and our digitalised lives are taken on ever more important, the need to stay connected when you’re in the vehicle becomes even greater. The SEAT Tarraco already integrated the tools to bring your digital life into the cockpit but is taken to another level in the plug-in hybrid version.
The SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID system, giving a greater breadth of functionality increasing the relationship between vehicle and user, and the SEAT Connect app is the gateway to controlling it. The app can be simply downloaded to your smart device, giving remote control over a plethora of functions that will help maximise enjoyment and improve safety too.
Outside the vehicle, the SEAT Connect app is a window into the SEAT Tarraco e-HYRBID’s data: driving information, parking position, vehicle status, including doors and lights, set up speed alerts so you can be warned if someone using your vehicle are driving too quickly, area and anti-theft alerts, open and close the doors with the remote lock and unlock service or remotely activate the horn and turn signals to find the car more easily.
With the introduction of the plug-in hybrid, additional features to help users include the ability for drivers to manage the charging process remotely via the e-Manager, control the air conditioning – the vehicle can be pre-heated for up to 30 minutes, and manage departure times all from the smartphone app; meaning that when you’re ready to start your journey so is the large SUV.
From your smart device to the SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID’s interior, the digital experience is seamless with the ability to connect to the world. The SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID integrates the latest generation infotainment system, including a navigation system with 9.2” screen, optimising driver feedback and passenger connectivity.
With its clearer display, the infotainment system provides a precise user experience, not just because of the layout of the system’s controls but also because it adds natural voice control to simplify user interaction and making it effortlessly intuitive.
We’ve become increasingly used to home assistants from the consumer electronics world, so taking the technology into the cabin is a natural progression.
The system is woken with the simple phrase “Hola Hola”, from which point natural commands allow you to navigate through functions, while users can make corrections and reference previous commands. So, finding navigation information or searching for music is quick and easy.
And thanks to the Full Link system, access to users’ digital lives is straightforward whether they’re part of the Android or Apple operating systems, thanks to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity (using a wireless connection based on Bluetooth or WLAN). Simple plug into the vehicle’s infotainment system and your digital content is ready to access in a controlled, intuitive, safe manner that doesn’t distract from the road, using either the infotainment system or the integrated steering wheel controls.
The Online Connectivity Unit with an embedded SIM means you’ll never lose your connection to the digital world.
The embedded eSIM allows certain infotainment functions to use real-time information, including a new dimension to functionality with online traffic information, parking and petrol station position and also the opening times and current prices.
The built-in eSIM also offers an additional safety layer, making the eCall service available, which directly contacts emergency services should an incident occur, adding yet another level of safety to the vehicle. It’s not only the possibility to make an emergency call (manual or automatic), but also that important data from the vehicle will be sent to the emergency services such as car position, engine type, vehicle exterior colour or the number of passengers, making it easier for them to assist.
