"The SEAT Altea XL is a good choice for families looking for a drive engagement from a practical, inexpensive cars."

The SEAT Altea XL is a good-looking MPV, which is designed to compete with cars like the Ford C-MAX and Renault Scenic. It is just as much fun to drive as the standard Altea, and have the diesel engines in the range, a good balance between performance and efficiency.

equipment and accessories are fine, while the boot is 123 liters larger than the standard Altea. The rear seats can also slide back and forth the trunk to maximize or accommodate passengers with long legs. The Altea XL on the Volkswagen Golf is based, so solid build quality is given and the SEAT among offers a similarly equipped Renault Scenic of around £ 1,500. Since all Altea XL's now have diesel engines, they are cheap to run.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

3.5 / 5

All engines achieve more than 40mpg

most economical Altea XL is the 103bhp 1.6-liter TDI Ecomotive, which returns 62.8mpg fuel consumption and emits 119 g / km CO2, it will cost £ 30 per year in road tax. the DSG automatic Choosing reduced 57.6mpg economy, while the CO2 emissions increase to 129g / km and road tax is £ 105 per year.

The more powerful 137bhp 2.0-liter TDI returns to the same figures. The efficiency is at a certain time to be good over the area thanks to start-stop technology, brake energy regeneration and a shift indicator that recommends the most efficient gear in.

motors, drive & Performance

2.6 / 5
[1945076drive] Sporty diesel engines and pacey

the more powerful 137bhp 2.0-liter TDI diesel, which is connected to the SE specification available only from 0-62mph the Altea XL accelerates in 9.8 seconds, and a top speed of 125 mph, which offers all the while a good mix of speed and economy.

all other models accelerate up to 114 mph and 0-62mph 11.3 to 12.6 seconds. Both diesel engines comply with the Altea XL a lot more than the old petrol engines, which have now been dropped from the range. The steering is precise and the brakes react, and there is very little body roll when a car driving this great through the corners.

The SEAT feels generally and certainly in motion, but not to drive as much fun as the Ford C-MAX.

Interior & Comfort

2 / 5

Sporty models are too tight

the Altea XL is not the most comfortable MPV in the market, and the diesel engines can be clattery when driving at low speeds, but it is even better to the open road. There are also some wind gusts to the front doors, which can be irritating to the highway. If you choose the larger 17-inch alloy wheels, the ride is particularly nervous so we would recommend give on uneven roads, give them a miss.

practicality & trunk

3 / 5

Small boat but handy nonetheless

the standard 60:40 split folding rear seats present, the Altea XL offers 532 liters of cargo, compared with the Ford C -MAX the 550- liter capacity. With the rear seats lowered, the space increases to 04 liters. There are also some additional storage under the boot floor and the parcel shelf has its own built-in cubbyhole.

The rest of the interior is pretty handy also a number of useful storage compartments offer. A disadvantage is that the rear seats can not be removed, which is a common feature in many of the Altea XL rivals.

reliability and safety

3.5 / 5

Good to 2013 get customer satisfaction survey Top 100, but the good news reliability and high safety record

SEAT not a single car in the driver's performance is that the senior SEAT in the top 150 was the Altea. SEAT have not a big year in the survey, falling three places in the manufacturer rankings to come 27th of 32 brands. This is very bad when you consider that Skoda, who shares many parts with a total of SEAT, the second place.

As expected, the SEAT Altea XL Interior quality is good, but it's not quite up to Volkswagen standards. Although the Altea XL has not undermined by the Euro NCAP safety tests, the standard car, the maximum rating of five stars awarded for adult occupant protection, so we would expect to follow the XL.

All models have six airbags, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and electronic brake assist.

price, price-performance ratio and options

3.2 / 5

Comparatively cheap and well equipped

The SEAT is cheaper than comparable vehicles Ford or Renault. The base model includes air conditioning, a USB port and roof rails. The S Copa model adds 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and automatic air conditioning with separate controls for the driver and front passenger. The SE model adds dual exhaust pipes, while the SE Copa Navi has a five-inch color display, a DAB digital radio, Bluetooth phone connection, automatic wipers and headlights and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

the Altea XL should be relatively cheap to make with the base model a group contributes 11 review, the Group rises 18 for the 2.0-liter SE.

" Firm suspension and damper means the SEAT corners with well contained body movement and the direction changes rapidly. "
Top Gear
"In isolation the Altea XL is fine but watch the rest of the track and smacks to create only a new car on the cheap -. no clever features, just cynical marketing. "
