2015 Seat Alhambra II (7N, facelift 2015) Dimensions, Size & Specs

The curb weight of the Seat Alhambra II ranges from 1628 to 1877 kg (3588 to 4138 lbs), depending on the engine, trim level, and optional equipment. The maximum permissible weight (gross vehicle weight rating) is between 2300 and 2590 kg (5071 to 5709 lbs). This weight range reflects the vehicle’s robust build designed to support a full passenger load and cargo, ensuring safety and stability, especially important for a family-oriented minivan.

With all seats in use, the Seat Alhambra II offers a luggage capacity ranging from 300 to 955 liters (10.6 to 33.7 cubic feet), which is adequate for everyday family needs or grocery runs. When the rear seats are folded down, the luggage capacity dramatically increases to between 2297 and 2430 liters (81.1 to 85.8 cubic feet), allowing for the transport of larger items such as furniture or multiple suitcases. This flexibility makes the Alhambra highly versatile for both passenger transport and cargo hauling.

A standard garage typically ranges around 2.4 to 2.7 meters (7.9 to 8.9 feet) in width. The Seat Alhambra II has a width of 1904 mm (74.96 inches) without the mirrors, which fits comfortably in most garages. However, with the mirrors opened, the width extends up to 2081 mm (81.93 inches), which may require careful maneuvering or possibly folding the mirrors in to fit within a narrower garage. Overall, the Alhambra II should fit most standard garages, but owners should consider mirror clearance for convenience.

The height of the Seat Alhambra II ranges from 1720 to 1740 mm (67.72 to 68.5 inches). This is fairly typical for a minivan, allowing it to comfortably fit into standard residential garages, which often have heights of at least 2 meters (78.74 inches). The moderate height ensures that the vehicle offers good headroom for passengers while maintaining ease of access when entering or exiting garages without hitting ceiling fixtures. It balances interior space with practicality for everyday use.

The Seat Alhambra II comes equipped with a variety of rim sizes including 16, 17, and 18 inches with widths from 6.5J to 7.5J. Tire options vary from 205/60 R16 and 215/60 R16 to 225/50 R17 and 225/45 R18, among others. Larger rims and lower profile tires generally improve handling and aesthetics but might reduce ride comfort slightly. Conversely, smaller rims with higher profile tires can enhance ride comfort and absorb road irregularities better, which is beneficial for this family minivan’s primary urban and suburban use.

Compared to the first-generation Seat Alhambra (produced before 2010), the Alhambra II (7N facelift 2015) is slightly larger in length and width, providing increased interior space and cargo capacity. The first generation was about 4855 mm in length and narrower in width overall, but the Alhambra II improved upon these dimensions with a wider stance (1904 mm vs. slightly less in the predecessor) for enhanced stability and roominess. Height is similar, but the newer generation features more modern styling and functional design tweaks to optimize interior volume and comfort.

The Seat Alhambra II aligns closely with competitors such as the Volkswagen Sharan and Ford S-Max in both size and capacity, as these vehicles share similar platforms. It offers competitive exterior dimensions with a length of 4854 mm (191.1 inches), width of 1904 mm (74.96 inches), and a height around 1720 to 1740 mm (67.7 to 68.5 inches). Its luggage capacity with seats folded (up to 2430 liters or 85.8 cubic feet) is on par or slightly better than some competitors, making it a strong contender for families needing flexible space without compromising drivability.

The Seat Alhambra II has a maximum roof load capacity of 100 kg (220 lbs), which allows for the mounting of various roof accessories such as roof boxes, bike racks, or ski racks. This load rating ensures that owners can safely add practical cargo extensions for outdoor activities or travel without compromising vehicle stability or roof integrity. It is important to evenly distribute the load and adhere strictly to this maximum limit to maintain driving safety and vehicle performance.

The 2015 facelift of the Seat Alhambra II (7N) brought several updates focused on styling, technology, and comfort. Exterior updates included refreshed front grille and bumper designs, along with modernized lighting elements. The interior incorporated enhanced infotainment systems, improved materials for better comfort, and additional driver assistance features. Mechanically, the facelift maintained efficient engines while improving suspension tuning for a smoother ride. Overall, the 2015 update modernized the Alhambra to remain competitive in the family minivan segment.
