Staff at Kendal SEAT dealership are bracing themselves for a sales surge after dynamic Spanish brand’s newest model – the sensational seven-seat Alhambra MPV – scooped its fifth industry award The state-of-the-art people carrier was named MPV of the Year by Auto Express – Britain’s biggest-selling weekly motoring magazine – underlining its position as the new frontrunner in the important market sector.
The model had already been named the year’s best MPV by motoring bible What Car?, influential titles Diesel Car and Fleet World and online outlet carbuyer.co.uk
Now the sales team at Kendal SEAT are predicting a fresh wave of interest in the supremely versatile and practical newcomer.
Graeme Bell, Sales Manager at Kendal SEAT said: ‘The new Alhambra has been a smash hit since it was launched in the UK last year and this latest award will only help to make it an even bigger success.
‘The model keeps triumphing over the competition in road tests conducted by motoring magazines and the unprecedented raft of awards it has clocked up in such a short time just goes to prove what an absolutely fantastic vehicle it really is.
‘But the real benchmark for us is the opinion of our customers and I can honestly say that everyone who’s taken one for a test drive has been blown away by it! Those customers who have bought one and taken delivery have been delighted with their purchase.’
Starting at just £23,095 RRP, the roomy Alhambra offers plenty of space for leisure, business and hobbies and with a broad selection of turbocharged petrol or diesel engines to choose from, drivers will be able to find the perfect blend of performance and economy to suit their motoring needs.
Inside, the roomy cabin features a highly flexible seating system that can easily accommodate seven adults and their luggage – or convert to create a cavernous load space.
Motorists can also choose from a wide range of innovative technologies, including bi-xenon headlamps with automatic high beam disconnection, self-sealing tyres, three-zone Climatronic air conditioning, electrically-powered sliding rear doors and a parking camera.
