Seat's ‘What Car?' Champ Joins Cab Direct

21/02/2012

The multi award-winning Seat Alhambra started 2012 as it ended 2011 - by scooping another prestigious trophy.  The highly acclaimed seven-seater has once again claimed the 'MPV of the Year' title at the influential What Car? Awards. 

Exclusive Taxi Sales Offer

The great news for the taxi trade is that Cab Direct is now offering an exclusive deal - available only to licensed taxi drivers and operators - on Seat's champion MPV.  Just £91.95 weekly +VAT and only £295 +VAT deposit will secure this fabulous multi-seater vehicle for your cab service. 

Economy First

The Alhambra was developed alongside the popular Volkswagen Sharan and, styling details apart, the two cars are more or less identical.  What stands the Alhambra apart, however, are the finer details of price and equipment. 

Add to this Seat’s economical 2.0 litre, Euro 5, diesel engine - which returns a mighty 50.4mpg on the combined cycle - and the Alhambra is one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in its class.  Perfect when you’re spending so many hours on the road.

Spacious Interior

Space is essential for the modern day taxi driver.  With an intelligent and extremely functional seating concept, the Alhambra provides space for up to six seated passengers.  Versatility is manifested in the interior as well with split-folding rear seats and numerous handy storage areas. 

Another big plus for the cab trade is Alhambra’s flexible middle row seats which can slide forward and backward, allowing you to create moor room as required.  Finally, the driver and front passenger seats are positioned to combine the best visibility with an exceptionally sporty feel and perfect ergonomics.

Top Spec

The new Alhambra has been meticulously crafted to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for drivers and passengers alike.  Available in S, SE, and SE Lux, the Alhambra embodies style with its sleek, aerodynamic design.  From the generously equipped Alhambra S to the high spec SE Lux, you are guaranteed to find the perfect car for you – at the perfect price too.

The entry model Alhambra S has an impressive standard spec list, including 16" 'Izaros' alloy wheels, a high-res multi function display, Seat’s latest sound system with 8 speakers, comfort front seats, front and rear parking sensors, three zone climate control, electric front windows and 2 x 12v sockets.  At the top end of the scale, the SE Lux benefits from additional comfort features such as cruise control, heated sports style front seats, rain sensing auto-wipers, interior trim enhancements and a panoramic sunroof.   

Not only that, with advanced safety features across all models, the Alhambra has earned the distinction of a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.  With seven airbags as standard, anti-lock brakes and an electronic stability programme, with Seat both you and your cab passengers are in safe hands.
