Seat’s Alhambra has been named as the MPV of the year at an industry awards.
The top-of-the-range car was recognised at the Professional Driver magazine’s Car of the Year awards for its performance as a MPV. The SE Lux 2.0 TDI was praised as the best seven-seater option for private hire operators.
Mark Bursa, editor of Professional Driver Magazine, said: "Private Hire operators still need full-size people-movers, and the Alhambra really fits the bill. Facelifted last year with new sat nav, lights and Euro 6 engines, it has always been a potent product. It’s a genuine seven-seater, with ease of access via sliding doors, not to mention low running costs."
Steve Mirfin, product manager at Seat UK, added the car was designed with comfort in mind, as well as affordable running costs.
