What is the SEAT Altea XL?

The Altea XL is the roomier member of SEAT’s Altea compact MPV family. Introduced in 2006, it extended the range with a larger body while keeping the Altea’s distinctive shape. The original Altea had introduced SEAT’s new design language, and the XL carried that look into a more spacious version.

Generation and engines

The Altea XL belongs to the first-generation Altea family (5P), with the XL sold from 2006 to 2015. In EU registration figures, its engines range from 1.2 to 2.0 litres and power from 63 kW (86 PS) to 118 kW (160 PS). Listed fuels include petrol, diesel, LPG and flex-fuel E85. UK figures cover 1.2- to 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, with power from 75 kW (102 PS) to 147 kW (200 PS). The French listing spans 66 kW (90 PS) to 103 kW (140 PS).

How economical is the SEAT Altea XL?

The lowest listed consumption in both UK VCA and French ADEME figures is 4.5 L/100 km on the NEDC test. NEDC differs from WLTP, used for newer European figures, so results from the two procedures are not directly interchangeable. The USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure. EU registration figures cover 2010–2016 and record 137,988 Altea XLs. Among the leading listed engines were 1.6-litre diesels, including a 77 kW (105 PS) version.

Where was the Altea XL sold?

The Altea XL appears in EU, UK and French figures. EU registration years run from 2010 to 2016; UK VCA figures span 2007–2015, and French ADEME figures cover 2015. The model’s first-generation years were 2006–2015.
