  SEAT Altea XL
SEAT is continuing to expand its range, this time with the launch of a new model that will round off the manufacturer's offer in the target segment: the SEAT Altea XL.
Consequently, the 409-litre capacity of the Altea's boot has increased to 532 litres in the Altea XL, while sliding the rear seats forwards by 14 centimetres expands the boot's volume further to 635 litres, the largest in its class.
Compared to the Altea, the rear seats in the Altea XL can be moved back by an extra two centimetres, meaning additional legroom for passengers travelling in the rear.

 SUPERCARS.NET - 2003 Seat Altea Prototipo Concept
On the Altea Prototipo this means 2+2 seating (four individual seats), an aerodynamic silhouette, a compact, lowered five-door chassis, and detailing worthy of a thoroughbred, such as the large 19 inch rims with low profile tyres, and the powerful brake system visible through the wheel spokes.
The Altea Prototipo is a clear illustration of the fundamental values of the Spanish brand: innovative, original design, extrovert sporty character and driving pleasure delivered through technology.
SEAT's new MSV concept will be showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show and the final production model will soon be seen on the roads.

 MPV: The Seat Altea   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The entry level petrol-powered Altea 1.6 Essence has room for five adults to travel in comfort with room for all their luggage in the 409 litre boot and their personal effects in the many boxes, pockets, cupholders and cubby holes in the cabin.
A new feature on Altea is the rear seat which slides forward 14 cm to increase boot space by an additional 101 litres, but still leaves plenty of rear legroom for the rear seat passengers.
The Altea Reference has all the benefits of the Essence model but gains air conditioning as standard and brings a choice of the same 1.6-litre petrol engine or a 105 PS 1.9-litre TDI and is priced at £12,195 and £13,195 respectively.

 2003 SEAT Altea Prototipo
The Altea MSV (Multi Sport Vehicle) is planned for launch in 2004, offering a "lower, longer, wider" version of the compact monospace form, consistent with SEAT's more sporting ambitions.
The Altea Prototipo combines 2+2 seating (four individual seats), an aerodynamic silhouette and a compact, lowered five-door chassis, with detailing such as the large 19 inch rims with low profile tyres, and large brakes visible through the wheel spokes.
The first SEAT product to be developed within the new Audi Brand Group created in early 2002, the Altea Prototipo gives an insight into the new look of SEAT’s future models.

 SEAT Altea Freetrack in detail
The new model from SEAT offers 490 litres of boot space, which can be expanded to as much as 593 litres without having to sacrifice any of the five seats, thanks to the rear seats having a fore-and-aft adjustment range of 16 centimetres.
From these figures, it is quite obvious that the Altea freetrack allows all the family to travel in comfort together with either their luggage or everything needed to enjoy their open-air hobbies to the full.
The Altea freetrack is equipped as standard with TCS traction control which intervenes in the engine management to prevent the wheels from spinning when accelerating on slippery surfaces.

SEAT has enhanced further the sporting image of the Altea presenting the prototype of the future FR version at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Altea FR’s steering wheel has a hollow on each side to make it easy to grip and at the bottom there is an aluminium insert which includes a small “FR” badge at the level of the central arm.
Strong performance from the Altea FR is ensured thanks to the new 2.0 TDI four-cylinder diesel engine with four valves per cylinder, with 170 hp transmitted to the front wheels through a manual six-speed gearbox.

 SEAT Altea Review
The SEAT Altea went on sale in the UK on the 10th July 2004 and was the first SEAT model to be wholly developed within the Audi Brand Group.

The new SEAT Ibiza is the Spanish company's most popular model, which boasts a host of changes compared with its highly regarded ancestor, and it is indeed dressed to impress.

 RTÉ.ie Motors: Seat Altea XL
Altea XL is clearly practical but the exterior fails to excite.
On the road Seat's by their nature are sporty and the Altea XL is set up for a firm ride.
The only annoying feature with Seats that persists in the XL is the painful red dash illumination that is less than easy on the eye, although you can turn it down with the dimmer switch at night.

 SEAT ALTEA Special Offers | Manufacturer Special Offers on New and Used SEAT ALTEA cars
Although the Altea may leave some potential buyers scratching their heads and wondering what exactly it’s trying to be, if you’re not too hung up on vehicle definitions and prefer something that’s fun, stylish and practical, it’s well worth a look.
SEAT’s Altea freetrack 4 is a difficult vehicle to pin down with its strong performance, MPV body and 4x4 underpinnings but as an amalgamation of styles, it works surprisingly well.
The Altea freetrack 4 is based on the longer Altea XL which is still no mean steer despite its extra bulk but the freetrack 4 rides 40mm higher so it looses a little of the nimbleness derived from the XL’s lower centre of gravity.

 car.kak.net » SEAT ALTEA PROTOTIPO: Immediate future
The Altea Prototipo is the culmination of these concepts; the goal of one stage and the beginning of a new era.
In order to achieve the excellent dynamic qualities of the SEAT Altea Prototipo, engineers at the Technical Centre worked on three basic aspects: a high performance engine, a sporty chassis and a structure with a low centre of gravity.
The novel lighting system patented by SEAT is based on a fixed module with associated elements (that is, the bulbs and reflectors do not change position), producing a perfect concentration of the light beam and greater mechanism compactness.

The new Altea freetrack is one of the few compact monospace cars on the market featuring clear off-road styling, as well as engines that deliver up to 200 hp.
The Altea freetrack is available with four-wheel drive via a Haldex-type arrangement with a hydro-mechanical connection and electronic control, to ensure that the tractive force is distributed permanently in a progressive and precise manner.
The Altea freetrack also features new rear window shades as standard, that are hidden inside the doors when not in use, leaving the view unobstructed for rear seat passengers.

 In with a sporting chance - Telegraph
The driving position is almost entirely van-free in feel although, with the seat set as low as I like, the chunky reach- and rake-adjustable helm won't sit quite low enough and, predictably, you could fly a small biplane through the gap between the roof lining and top of my head.
Although the outer rear seats feel a tad narrow as a result of the need to pander to the universal, three-in-a row fib that afflicts all modern hatchbacks, accommodation astern is greatly enhanced by the raising of the seat base, obviating the feelings of claustrophobia inherent in high-waisted car designs.
The seats fold nearly flat and a folding armrest is built into the larger portion of the 60:40 split seatback.

 Model Critique: 2004 SEAT Altea by Rietze
When Rietze published pictures of the new SEAT Altea minivan on their website a couple of days ago, I was happy to see the model much, much earlier than I had hoped Rietze would have been able to have the tooling ready.
SEAT was founded in 1950 by the State of Spain, with production starting three years later: The first car ever to wear the SEAT badge was called the 1400, just like the FIAT sedan it copied in almost every other detail.
SEAT required an inexpensive model to be used as a giveaway.

 CARkeys - Seat Altea
A design quirk in the new Altea allows Seat to suggest, tongue in cheek, that here's a car which may thwart the best efforts of a traffic warden.
Previewed in several one-off concept cars, the Altea represents the well-trailed "new face" of Seat, which now occupies its own specific niche within the Audi brand group, alongside Audi itself and no less a Big Brother than Lamborghini.
From the prominent Seat badge on the front grille, and the projector headlamp array, several sweeping style lines lead the eye to the rear of the car with its chopped-off hatchback tail.

 SEAT Altea freetrack 4
Sitting at the very top of the Altea family, the Altea freetrack 4 is the most lavishly equipped of the lot, with a plethora of equipment fitted as standard.
Performance is in line with SEAT’s sporty image: for example, the 2.0 TSI has a maximum speed of 133 mph, with 0 to 62 mph taking 7.5 seconds, while the 2.0 TDI boasts figures of 127 mph and 8.7 seconds respectively.

However, bosses at SEAT have quite rightly put their egos to one side and confessed that they made a mistake with the current Altea.
Pulling the seats forward does create a huge cargo area, yet the system would be far cleverer if the backs folded flat rather than leaving an unsightly and impractical lip.
SEAT’s family car range is now made up of the Leon, Altea, Altea XL, Toledo and Alhambra.

 Road Tests: SEAT Altea
First, the 140PS TDI Sport, which came with body-hugging seats you have to get into rather than slide onto and, while these hold you in place very well, they mitigate against one advantage of tall cars which is ease of entry and exit for the elderly.
SEAT has tried to reduce these by fitting fairly small elliptical door mirrors, however you have to do a double-take to be sure when emerging from side roads.
To keep the show on the road, SEAT has fitted fairly stiff suspension and the downside is ride quality which I’d be generous to describe as “below average”.

Namely, this SEAT is a spacious and mildly versatile package wrapped in a body that is curvaceous and more stylish than most MPVs.
No question, the Altea looks dramatic, aggressive and sporting viewed front-on, but from the side and rear, it does present a more typical MPV look.
SEAT offers a comprehensive range of engines, too, with two diesel and two petrol versions, power ranging from 102bhp to 150bhp.
