SEAT Alhambra (96-00) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The only difference between the Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan and the Alhambra are prices, equipment, some engines and price. Oh yes and the front grille. If you are not too bothered about names then the Alhambra is a great way to save money. All the space, performance and versatility of the more expensive MPVs, but for less. Buyers can’t lose.

Safety

Excellent level of factory fitted safety items from front seatbelt pretensioners to passenger and driver airbags come as standard with ABS brakes. Although there is no remote locking facility on the SEAT, the fitting of deadlocks ensure that the chances of a casual break-in are reduced to almost nil. Engine immobiliser and alarms are also good safeguards.
