Why it won

With a clever seven-seat interior and a large boot, the SEAT Alhambra is all the MPV you’ll ever need! As our testers’ debate revealed, the car is spacious and practical inside, and thanks to a range of Volkswagen sourced engines it's incredibly fuel efficient. All diesel engines are equipped with stop/start systems, which cut the engine when the vehicle is stationary to save fuel. Don’t miss the excellent petrol powered 1.4-litre TSI version either. It combines its small size with a turbocharger and a supercharger to deliver impressive performance and economy. In simple terms, the new SEAT Alhambra is a restyled Volkswagen Sharan, but with a back to basics interior and unique styling. The SEAT Alhambra offers all the virtues of the more expensive Volkswagen for less money. That means you get an incredibly practical seven-seat MPV with a good range of engines and impressive handling and comfort.
