Design
The new Alhambraclearly conveys its dynamic character through its design. The broad, taut proportions, clear lines, and the distinctive wheel arches give it a powerful presence and a level of sporting appeal that is unmatched in the MPV sector.
With its arrow-shaped bonnet, hallmark grille and highly distinctive front skirt continuing the Arrow Design, the newAlhambra clearly displays its SEAT DNA. The sleek side profile shows great technical precision, with optional sliding rear doors; while a muscular spoiler, low-reaching rear hatch, and expansive light clusters dominate the rear.
Easy Fold System
Versatility is manifested in the interior as well - providing more space, split-folding rear seats, and a multitude of storage options.
Central to development was the intelligent and extremely functional seating concept, providing seating for up to seven adults.
Additionally, middle row seats can slide forward and backward, with integrated child seats available as an option. Finally, the driver and front passenger seats are positioned to combine the best visibility with an exceptionally sporty feel and perfect ergonomics.
Parking Systems
Also new is the clever Park Assist option which takes care of theAlhambra's steering when manoeuvring into parking spaces - parallel as well as 'bay' parking. So you can ensure perfect parking every time, even in the tightest of spaces. A crucial feature for a car designed for size and safety.
Technology
The range of innovative technologies offered on the new SEAT Alhambrais simply astounding. Like the TSI and TDI engines, the optional DSG dual-clutch transmission delivers the perfect combination of sporty energy, comfort, and efficiency. The optional bi-xenon headlamps with adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) follow the direction of the steering, while high beam assistance senses oncoming vehicles and automatically adjusts the light accordingly. Both improve visibility of the road ahead, making your journey easier and safer.
The optional panoramic sliding roof has an opening 300 percent larger than conventional sunroofs, while the three-zone, Climatronic feature ensures optimum temperature in all seating areas. Optional electric motors simplify the operation of the sliding doors and rear hatch.
We have replaced the traditional hand brake system with an Electric Hand Brake button to optimise space, while the DSG with Paddle feature option offers drivers the choice to drive the car manually, using paddles attached to the steering wheel, or in automatic.
Finally, the optional towing hook combined with Auto-Hold control means you can tow heavy loads with amazing control, even when stopping and starting uphill.
Safety
Safety is non-negotiable. This means you have up to nine airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag, plus electric child locks on the rear doors. For your peace of mind, the new SEAT Alhambrais equipped with integrated child seat with iSOFIX/Top Tether anchoring system.
Also standard in the Alhambra are the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), including electronic braking assistant, trailer stabilisation and tyre pressure monitoring display. The concept of safe comfort takes on a new dimension with the new Alhambra's self-sealing tyre feature. All these advanced features have earned the SEAT Alhambra the distinction of a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating*.
