If you're in the market for a car that's capable of holding seven people, offers decent value and has various modern touches, then a used SEAT Alhambra is a great choice. With sliding rear side doors, passengers receive instant and convenient access to the back, and there is a large amount of boot space. Strong safety scores, advanced technology and an accommodating interior are other reasons a used Alhambra is an excellent choice for busy families.
Diesel and petrol engines have been available, with a manual or an automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolFew people carriers actually have enough room for seven people to be comfortable, which makes the Alhambra a rare and extremely practical vehicle.
Interior spaceUnveiled in 1996, the SEAT Alhambra shared a platform with the Volkswagen Sharan, making the two people carriers nearly identical. A second generation arrived in 2010 with a new design and updated power options, but the Alhambra was discontinued in 2020, with SEAT recommending the seven-seater Tarraco SUV as its replacement.
In order to share the development costs between them, SEAT, Volkswagen and Ford worked on a people carrier design together. The result was the SEAT Alhambra, Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, which were all built in Spain. However, the SEAT version was slightly sportier and designed for a younger audience. The larger headlights and 'smiling' grille gave it a distinctive look.
A 2000 update maintained the brand's image, but the roof had more of a curve toward the back where it met with a curved tailgate. The design was meant to be cutting-edge and it paired nicely with the body-coloured bumper extension and updated headlights.
Volkswagen and SEAT built the Alhambra with shared resources. The main difference between the Sharan and the SEAT Alhambra is the latter's sportier appearance. It featured wide angular headlights that made the front end look sharper. It was topped with 16 vertical slats on a broad black grille to provide a commanding presence.
With the start of the newest generation, SEAT only carried over a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel from the original configurations. Aside from that, the powertrains were all brand-new.

The 2.0 TDI diesel engine is the most popular, likely because it's far more efficient than the petrol motors. With several different outputs depending on the trim, there are various options available among used models.
Near the end of production, there were three trim levels to choose from: S, SE and SE Lux. However, in 2018, the Xcellence trim was also added, and this has proven to be the most popular among Alhambra owners with the added panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and chromed roof rails.
Customers who desire more luxury should look out for black leather upholstery and an electric panoramic sunroof. It is also possible to find some practical additions, such as the sat nav system, a rear-view camera and powered sliding doors for easier rear seat access.
With the ability to hold seven adults while still leaving a reasonable amount of boot space, the SEAT Alhambra is a people carrier specifically designed for families. With modern technology and advanced safety equipment, it's one of the most practical used cars around.
No, SEAT only equipped the Alhambra with petrol and diesel engines. The only used hybrid SEAT is the Leon, which doesn't have seven seats.
There were automatic and manual gearbox options with select engines. Among used models, there's an equal split between the two, so it shouldn't be difficult to find either one.
No, all Alhambra models were built with front-wheel drive.
