Seat Alhambra facelift breaks cover with improved engine lineup

Seat Alhambra facelift

Three diesel and two petrol engines available

Seat has officially
unveiled the refreshed Alhambra MPV.

Volkswagen revealed
the facelifted Sharan last month during the Geneva Motor Show and now it's Seat's
turn to update its family vehicle. The Spanish car received only minor visual
changes including new LED headlights, as well as a redesigned radiator grille
and new alloy wheels. Inside the cabin there are a new steering wheel, a
revised center console and new chrome trim.

The "completely
redeveloped" engine lineup starts with a 2.0-liter TDI unit with 115 PS (85
kW), which needs only 4.9 liters of fuel per 100 km at 130 grams of CO2
emissions per km. The diesel range also includes 2.0 TDI units with 150 PS (110
kW) and 184 PS (135 kW). On the petrol side there is a choice between two TSI powerplants
with 150 PS (110 kW) and 220 PS (162 kW).

All engines comply
with the Euro 6 emissions and can be mated to a DSG dual-clutch automatic
transmission, with the only exception being the the entry-level diesel. Seat
says "the turbocharged direct-injection units are up to 15 percent more fuel
efficient" than before.

The new Alhambra comes
with a new generation of the Easy Connect infotainment system. Available as a
standard is the multi-collision brake, while the Blind-Spot Sensor and the DCC
adaptive chassis control are offered at an extra cost.
