SeatAlhambraReview3_2011_carzpageThe new Seat Alhambra minivan is back with the Volkswagen Sharan sister city, but the family ties have lowered with Ford Galaxy. Think of the new 2010 Alhambra as cheap VW, our Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive model costs about 800 pounds less than the equivalent Sharan.

It’s a pretty compelling reason to pick Seat badge. We tested the Alhambra Ecomotive in spec, which brings down CO2 146g/km and promises 50mpg. Not bad claims for a whopping 1.7-ton seven-seat MPV. As the Seat Alhambra MPV as stacks, Test driving a people carrier is as much away about unleashing your family to drive the car as the door handles from it. And the new 2010 Alhambra is a far more practical to offer than its predecessor. Key to his new-found conversion to the practical sliding rear doors. Access to the middle row is a breeze, and you can even climb in the third set easily enough thanks to a clever hinge mechanism section. The entire second row outside pew tilts and slides forward in a movement (even if you figure out which lever does what worked).

SeatAlhambraReview2_carzpageJust watch out for the automatic rear doors and tailgate. We have seen errors on brand new cars from other brands with electric push boots, and we would in the long run motorized failures worry …
How much space is in the third row of the Alhambra? There are decent head and legroom in row three, so you can in adults in the rear two rows squeeze. You get a breather and each cubby, and the view out is good enough for Jemima and Cedric not to throw their toys out of the pram.
And the second row?

Every single seat slides back and forth, and it is only the smallest drive in tunnels, steal to make room for the feet. The folding table tops on the back of the front seat are asymmetric – beware the left table are foul adult passenger knee as less significant than the number of the right table.

The Alhambra is a big car, huge trunk when the car is configured as a five seater, it is still appropriate when it is set as a seven-seater. The two rearmost seats fold, without being removed flat, but as a result they fall and store high – nibbling potential boot space.
Seat Alhambra: The Inside Story that the model was stitched with an unusual 70 ruched beige interior, like a step back for the first time Margaret Thatcher’s government was. But the rest of the interior are much better. It feels solid and well built up to the demands of family life. CarzPage Review Today: Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive S 2011.
