Seat Alhambra (2000)

Seat Alhambra

The SEAT Alhambra is a large MPV by the Volkswagen Group and sold under the SEAT brand. It has been on sale since 1996 and, apart from a major restyling in 2000, it is very similar to the original model. An all-new replacement is expected in the next years, possibly a rumoured seven-seater Altea version.

The Alhambra was created under a technology sharing agreement between Ford and the Volkswagen Group, after the two companies found they were losing market share from the first generation of MPVs such as the Renault Espace and Mitsubishi Spacewagon. It shares most of its components and design with the Ford Galaxy and VW Sharan. This has lead to the three vehicles being referred to collectively as the "Sharalaxy" or even "Shalambraxy". All three models are built in Palmela, Portugal.

It seats up to seven people - the 5 rear seats being all moveable or even removed leaving a flat-load floor. The Alhambra tends to have more options fitted for the same cost as the other two.
