Product Overview
Seat Alhambra II (Typ 7N) is a large minivan in production from 2010 to 2020. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.
Essentially a lesser alternative to the Volkswagen Sharan, the Mk2 Alhambra offers lots of space inside but is rather uninspiring.
Seat has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.29 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will love the 2430L (86cu-ft) cargo space.
Volkswagen also markets this vehicle as the VW Sharan II. The two only differs in the badge and were assembled on the same production line.

Reviewer score 72%The SEAT Alhambra is a vast 7-seater that's for sale in the MPV class. It's the same size as the VW Sharan, and the Ford Galaxy is a similar size. Prices start from around £30,000 and topping out at around £38,500.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of space for the money
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- Not as practical as rivals
carmagazine[2]
Reviewer score 70%New 2010 Seat Alhambra MPV is a far more practical offering than its predecessor. Key to its newfound practicality is the switch to sliding rear doors. There's decent head- and legroom in row three, so you can squeeze in adults in both rear rows. A-pillar blindspots present a small but irritating obstruction in your field of vision.

Pros
- Roomy, well-built cabin
- Roomy boot space
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Dastardly blindspots
- Noisy A-pillar
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 70%The Alhambra is the Seat sister car of the VW Sharan, yet manages to have a £2200-cheaper starting price (£25,690 compared to the Sharan's £27,900) It's big, square and you sit very high, which does sound quite van-like. The seating position is good, with plenty of adjustment available. The middle row comes with three seats that all individually slide forwards and back, recline backward or fold flat.
