Leave Comments on the SEAT Alhambra 2.0 Reference
The Alhambra takes its name from the ancient palace in Granada which dates back to the 12th century and plays a central part in Spain’s early history. This place was apparently vast - an indication, SEAT believes, of the capacity of its People Carrier – though unlike some boxier rivals, in can offer you only seven, rather than eight seats. As an MPV buyer, you’ll be looking for flexibility as well as sheer space.
So you’ll find, as before, that all of the seats can be folded down or unclipped and removed completely. In fact, the only difference this time round is that the removable chairs themselves have been redesigned, so should feel a lot more comfortable. Sadly, they’re no lighter, so lugging them in and out remains a job not to be undertaken by the weak or faint-hearted.
The two front seats on some models can be swivelled round completely to face the rear - which is great for picnics and business meetings if you’re stationary and there’s only four in the car. It’s annoying however, that you still can’t do the same with the middle set so that occupants behind the driver can face each other and talk on longer journeys.
