The SEAT Alhambra is a MPV or people-carrier manufactured by the Volkswagen Group and sold under the SEAT brand. It seats up to seven people — the 5 rear seats being all moveable or even removed leaving a flat-load floor.
The Alhambra was created under a technology sharing agreement between Ford and the Volkswagen Group, after the two companies found they were losing market share from the first generation of MPVs such as the Renault Espace and Mitsubishi Spacewagon. It has been on sale since 1996 and apart from a major restyle in 2000 it is very similar to what it was on its launch almost a decade ago, although an all-new replacement is expected in the next couple of years.
It shares most of its components and design with the very similar Ford Galaxy and VW Sharan. This has lead to the three vehicles being referred to collectively as the "Sharalaxy" or even "Shalambraxy". All three models are built in Palmela, Portugal.
The Alhambra tends to have more options fitted for the same cost as the other two.
