About the SEAT Alhambra

A used Alhambra is one of the few true seven-seat MPVs left on the market today after the rise of the SUV, and with its sliding rear side doors and huge amounts of space, there really aren’t many better options out there.  

There are three trim levels on offer: S; SE; and SE Lux. All offer great value for money and the entry-level S trim comes well equipped from the factory, with features such as heated door mirrors, 16-inch alloy wheels, sliding doors and parking sensors.  

The Alhambra’s main rivals are the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, the model on which this SEAT MPV is based.  

You also get that reliable and value for money reputation that comes with SEAT models, for extra peace of mind.  

A used Alhambra is a great choice for the active modern family, and will fit many lifestyles with ease.  

What features does the SEAT Alhambra have?

The Alhambra’s boot measures in at 267 litres with all seven seats erected, and when in its five-seat arrangement it offers 658 litres.  

However, because of the Alhambra’s size, you can fold both the second and third row of seats flat and create 2,297 litres of storage space, which can carry objects up to 2.95 metres long.  

There's loads of space for passengers throughout, with mid-row occupants getting a couple of very sturdy flight-style tables that can hold a decent-sized meal or a tablet/laptop.  

The entry-level Alhambra S gets sliding rear doors, parking sensors, three-zone climate control and a 6.5-inch touchscreen that has all the features you’d want from a family vehicle. 

The top-spec models like the SE Lux and Xcellence trims get extra features like a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and sports suspension.

What's the SEAT Alhambra like to drive?

You can get a used Alhambra with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, both of which offer plenty of poke and fuel efficiency.  

Both diesel engines are based on the same 2.0-litre TDI unit and produce 150hp or 177hp, depending on the variant. These engines would be best suited to those wanting to carry lots of people or luggage for longer distances, because the pulling power of the diesel is far better than that of the petrol.  

However, if you don’t want a diesel and tend to do shorter distances, then the 150hp 1.4-litre TFSI petrol engine would be better suited to you. 

Gearbox options include a six-speed manual or a DSG dual-clutch automatic.
