Seat Alhambra named Auto Express Best MPV once again

The Seat Alhambra has taken the coveted Best MPV prize at the Auto Express New Car Awards, for the second year in a row.

The weekly motoring publication gave the Alhambra the award ahead of a raft of strong competition.

It's the 11th national award the
Alhambra has collected since it was launched in 2010, and comes just after it picked up Diesel Car magazine's MPV of the Year prize, also for the second consecutive year.

The Alhambra's ever swelling trophy cabinet now includes awards from a breadth of prestigious motoring magazines and websites, including What Car?, Fleet News, Fleet World, Car Buyer and, of course, Auto Express.

Britain's best-selling motoring weekly clearly has a soft spot for the seven-seat Alhambra, with Editor-in-Chief Steve Fowler praising its flexibility – particularly its easy-to-fold seats and wide-opening sliding rear doors, which can be electrically operated on all models. "When it comes to moving families around, there is nothing that does it better than the Alhambra," he said.

"It's good value and cheap to run, too," he continued, "and what you don't expect from such a talented MPV, it’s also really good to drive. All-in-all, it's the ideal car for all the family."
