SEAT Alhambra Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1996–2000) — First Generation
The first-generation SEAT Alhambra brought seven-seat practicality to families who still wanted a car that drove like a hatchback, pairing a roomy minivan body with familiar, everyday mechanicals under the hood.
Each SEAT Alhambra engine was sized for a heavy, high-roofed body, so flexibility mattered more than outright speed. Gasoline versions such as the 1.8 MT and 1.8 AT suit shorter urban trips, while the 1.9 AT diesel favours loaded motorway cruising. All drive the front wheels.
