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.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

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

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

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
