For The best engine in the Alhambra line-up – reasonably priced and frugal with plenty of low-down pull. The Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI 140 Ecomotive S gets you climate control, alloys and both front and rear parking sensors.
Against The Alhambra might be bigger than other seven-seat MPVs, such as the Peugeot 5008, but it’s also quite a bit more expensive.
