What is the SEAT Altea?

The Altea is a compact MPV, with a tall, practical cabin in a more sculpted shape than a conventional people carrier. It joined SEAT’s range in 2004 and remained on sale into 2015. The first production car to introduce SEAT’s new design language, it had a distinctive swept-back profile. The Spanish maker, part of the Volkswagen Group, named it after a town in Alicante province.

Generation and engines

The Altea had one generation, the first generation (5P), running from 2004 to 2015. The roomier Altea XL joined the family in 2006, with a larger body but the same basic model identity. Across EU registration figures, Altea engines ranged from 1.2 to 2.0 litres and delivered 63 kW (86 PS) to 155 kW (211 PS). Listed fuel types include petrol, diesel and LPG. UK figures cover 1.2- to 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, with power from 63 kW (85 PS) to 147 kW (200 PS). France’s listed range spans 66 kW (90 PS) to 125 kW (170 PS).

How economical is the SEAT Altea?

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 143,270 Alteas. The most registered listed engine was the 1.6-litre diesel with 77 kW (105 PS).

Where was the Altea sold?

The Altea appears in EU, UK and French figures. EU registrations span 2010–2016, UK VCA figures run from 2006 to 2015, and French ADEME figures cover 2012–2015. The generation itself ran from 2004 to 2015.
