Altea XL.

Space for more than just the family

If it’s a spacious yet exhilarating family car you’re after, then the SEAT Altea XL has got your name written all over it.

As can be the case with large practical family cars, style is sacrificed for extra space, but that’s not the case with the Altea XL. With the honeycomb front grill and the signature dynamic line, the Altea XL oozes the distinctive, sleek SEAT design, but cleverly offers a vast amount of space at the same time. Making it ideal for families who enjoy setting off for adventures at the weekend.

Big on style, big on space

With a colossal 3m3 cabin, plus a rather impressive 635 litre boot capacity, the Altea XL really does live up to its name. With adjustable rear seats the Altea XL can adapt to fit in with your family and indeed whatever you’re fitting into your car.

And if it’s performance you’re after under the bonnet, the Altea XL won’t disappoint. With up to 170PS with the 2.0 litre TDI, and a meaty 258lb ft of torque, it’s fair to say that this car not only looks great and has ample space, but it also really shifts too. Combine this with the agile handling thanks to its engaging chassis, the Altea XL truly is a rewarding drive.

Safety first

But it doesn’t end there. The SEAT Altea XL is one of the safest cars on the market. With 6 airbags fitted as standard, three point pre-tensioned seatbelts, reinforced pillars and rear ISOFIX points enabling two child seats to be anchored directly to the chassis; it’s no wonder the Altea XL, like the Altea, has a maximum 5 stars by the Euro NCAP rating.

The Altea XL is an integral part of the Altea family, being the bigger brother of the Altea. Both models offer pace and exhilaration, the XL is just that extra bit bigger, so all you have to decide is which one is best suited for you and your family. But the Altea family is soon to get even bigger. SEAT are launching their first all road, four-wheel drive car. The SEAT Altea freetrack 4. It’s due to be released this October, and it’s sure to be the daddy, so keep an eye out for this later in the year.

And if all that wasn’t enough, for a limited time only, the Altea XL comes with an integrated TomTom GO 710 for just £250, so you can get to where you’re going, without getting lost, in style.
