SEAT Altea MPV (2004 - 2015)

The SEAT Altea has been around a long time but it’s never caught on. It’s still worth a look though, as it’s solidly built, well equipped, good to drive and different.

Area of interest:

SEAT is owned by Volkswagen and the Altea’s dash features similar switchgear to that found in an array of VW vehicles. The interior is not particularly stylish. However it feels well constructed, with all controls well laid out and very easy to use. The instrumentation is also extremely clear. Getting comfortable is easy thanks to a decent range of seat adjustment. The steering wheel also adjusts for reach and rake, making it easy to find the perfect driving position.
