SEAT Alhambra MPV 2011 front quarter doors open
reviewed by Carbuyer
In simple terms, the new SEAT Alhambra is a Volkswagen Sharan, with a back to basics interior and unique styling. The SEAT Alhambra offers all the virtues of the more expensive Volkswagen for less money - which is why our judges named it Best MPV in our 2012 Car of the Year awards. That means you get an incredibly practical seven-seat MPV with a good range of engines and impressive on road dynamics. It may be the cheaper cousin of the VW Sharan, but that doesn’t mean it's the cheapest MPV out there. Some older rivals, like the Vauxhall Zafira cost less, but none of these cars offer the Alhambra's comfort, practicality or economy.
