SEAT Alhambra

The Alhambra has features in common with both the Sharan and the Galaxy. The Alhambra is less well-known in the UK due to the brands less prominent badge. The Alhambra drives similar to the Sharan, and has the same line of engines on offer.

The Alhambra offers good value for money and makes excellent use of cabin space. The car comes with generous levels of specification. The car has borrowed many of its interior parts from Volkswagen.

The SEAT Alhambra cabin boasts quality materials and the controls have a quality feel. The seats are supportive and comfortable even on longer trips. The cabin provides several storage compartments for all of the odds and ends.

The SEAT Alhambra comes standard with a six speed manual gearbox. The SE and Sport models add even more generous levels of equipment. The Alhambra provides many creature comforts.

The best engine choice is the TDi PD with either 115bhp or 130bhp. Both offer plenty of power and deliver a refined driving experience. The other engines on offer are adequate but can’t live up to the 115bhp or 130bhp engines.

Handling is good in all SEAT Alhambra models. Steering is accurate but lacks feel. Body-roll has been controlled but the car’s size can make it difficult to maneuver through crowded streets and parking lots.

Practicality

The SEAT Alhambra offers good value for money and offers generous levels of equipment as standard. The car is economical to run and should prove to be reliable. Fuel economy should be good and buyers won’t have to ask what they paid for.

The SEAT Alhambra cabin offers loads of passenger space. Head and legroom is good all-round. The boot is large and can accommodate most items. The car’s seats can be folded to accommodate larger cargo.

The SEAT Alhambra controls and dials are of a good quality and have a nice feel. Everything is logically arranged and easy to use. The car’s displays are large and easy to read.

The SEAT Alhambra cabin provides a very comfortable and relaxing environment. The seats are large and supportive, and there is plenty of cabin space for all passengers. Engine and road noise have successfully been suppressed. Getting comfortable in the Alhambra shouldn’t be problematic.

The SEAT Alhambra cabin is easily accessed. The doors are large and the seats sit high enough that passengers can easily slide into the seats. Egress is easy as well and shouldn’t pose a problem for most passengers. The car’s boot lid opens wide and provides a large aperture for easy loading and unloading.

Parking the Alhambra is simple thanks to good all-round visibility. The car’s handling makes it easy to maneuver despite the vehicle’s large size. The car’s large side mirrors come in handy as well.

Life Style

The Alhambra was not designed to deliver a fast ride. It was designed to carry people in comfort. The Alhambra does this very well with a stylish exterior and a classy interior design while delivering excellent levels of comfort.

This is a good family car. The car is safe and spacious without sacrificing all style. Families will enjoy the excessive cabin space and the versatile load carrying capabilities. The car is durable enough to withstand the rigors of family life.

The Alhambra is an unlikely family car. It is too large and probably not on the top of most first time buyers list. Novice drivers may have a difficult time navigating the vehicle around town, but for the most part the car is very easy to drive.

Seat is seen as the sportier wing of the Volkswagen Group. The Alhambra isn’t really sporty like a sports car, but it does seem well-made and modern. As Seat's quality continues to increase its sales continue to increase.

Security and Safety

The SEAT Alhambra standard security features include a security alarm, deadlocks, remote central locking and an engine immobilizer. The Alhambra is a very desirable car but is not likely to fall victim to car thieves.

The SEAT Alhambra basic safety features include driver, passenger and side airbags on all models. The car also comes with standard ABS, ESP and traction control. The Alhambra is well equipped for safety.

The Finishing Touches

The SEAT Alhambra standard audio unit includes an AM/FM radio and a CD player. The basic unit provides good sound quality.

The Alhambra has an attractive cabin design with blue backlighting and attractive seat fabrics. The seats and steering-wheel enjoy a wide range of adjustment. The higher the level of specification the better the level of equipment but even base models come well equipped.
