Frequently asked questions about SEAT Alhambra
Why is SEAT Alhambra discontinued?
The SEAT Alhambra was discontinued in 2020 for one clear reason unstated by SEAT management and one official reason. The official reason is that SEAT wishes to phase out the petrol and diesel Alhambra with cleaner, newer models. The unofficial reason is that the MPV market in Europe is very small and SUVs have largely overtaken minivans that were popular a couple of decades ago. This is why SEAT is recommending the Tarraco on its website instead of the Alhambra.
Is a SEAT Alhambra a good car?
Generally, the SEAT Alhambra is a reasonably good and reliable used minivan for families thanks to its seven seats, five of which can be collapsed or even removed to make space for more storage. Later model years such as the 2017 Alhambra have pretty good fuel economy, estimated at around 38.6 mpg, but older models going back to 2005 also tended to have good fuel economy. It variously received 4-5 star Euro NCAP safety ratings and has received numerous awards for best MPV in the UK.
What is replacing the SEAT Alhambra?
The 7-seater Alhambra has no direct successor as SEAT is looking to get out of the MPV market much like its competitors. However, SEAT recommends the SEAT Tarraco as a replacement SUV for a family car.
Is SEAT Alhambra same as VW?
SEAT has been a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1986. The SEAT Alhambra is in many regards practically the same as the Volkswagen Sharan because they are both built on the same platform and were produced in the same VW plant in Palmela, Portugal. Specifically, some elements of the interior and exterior design are different, however the Sharan and Alhambra are mostly the same vehicle.
Where is the SEAT Alhambra made?
The SEAT Alhambra was produced at the Volkswagen AutoEuropa plant located in Palmela, Portugal, from 1996-2020. This production plant simultaneously built the similar first-generation Ford Galaxy and the Volkswagen Sharan.
