While the athletic contours of the SEAT Alhambra will undoubtedly be the first thing you notice, there's as much going on beneath the surface as the exciting aesthetics and the imposing design that initially catch your eye. One of the keys to the Alhambra's continued popularity and success lies under the bonnet: dynamic and sporty reactions, offering advanced technology and an remarkable performance.

Choose the engine that most suits your driving requirements. There are two high-performance diesel TDi's available: the 1.9 TDi 85 kW/115 hp and the 1.9 TDi 96 kW/130 hp (you can enjoy this engine as either six-geared manuals or Tiptronic, and as Total Traction). Both incorporate selective pump injector technology, where an electronically controlled fuel pump on each cylinder balances the injection and improves torque and the maximum efficiency of the engine.

As you'd expect from SEAT, there has been no loss of style in the pursuit of performance. The precision welding of the bodywork not only improves the sporty rigidity of the car, but also forms the basis of a distinctive whole.

From the perfectly proportioned headlights - available in Xenon for added safety - to the fog-lights (standard for the Stylance and Sport) and streamlined bonnet hiding the windscreen wiper, door handles and bumpers in body colours and extra brake light within the back windscreen, all the elements have been carefully designed.
