2009 Seat Alhambra news, pictures, and information

New 140 hp 2.0 TDI engine

Stylance models also offer the option of a multimedia technology package which allows passengers to enjoy a film on DVD or connect a digital video camera, laptop, DVD or MP3 player or even a video games console. This multimedia solution will deftly underscore the Alhambra's character as 'an MPV for sporty families'.

The equipment will enable middle-row passengers in the MPV to enjoy the whole range of in-car entertainment. Two TFT colour screens incorporated into the back of the front-seat headrests will give access to all the thrills of multimedia.

The DVD player in the centre console will be operable by remote control, and second-row passengers will also have dedicated headset connections.
