SPACE

The SEAT Altea XL has gone in for a major update and come out with new eyes, a body touch-up and enough colour and wheel options to fulfil any desire. The SEAT Altea XL is 18.7 cm longer than the Altea, which means it has a boot capacity of 532 litres. And because of the variety of seating arrangements you'll have all the room you need to fit the kids, their luggage and anything else you hope to pack away for the weekend.

STABILITY

Having some of the best roadholding credentials in the business is no accident. They come from a perfect balance between size, wheel ratios and pure technology. Central to this is the multi-link rear axle which has been engineered with what we like to call an Agile Chassis. Effectively, it strikes a balance between the highly rigid and the finely tuned, turning the steering, brakes and transmission into a single responsive unit dedicated to doing exactly what you want it to. Other features that go towards making the SEAT Altea XL a true pleasure to drive are such things as the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and the electromechanical steering, which controls the steering tension depending on speed to give you maximum control at all times. The SEAT Altea XL has also been fitted out with an anti-slip programme known as ESC (Electronic Stability Control), which will instantly correct the spin if a wheel loses grip and now includes Hill Hold Control, that stops you from rolling down a slope the moment the clutch is engaged. Safety and stability, working hand in hand.

COMFORT

In designing the SEAT Altea XL we tried to anticipate your every need. When the first drops of rain hit the windscreen, the wipers know it's time to get working. Another gadget to make your drive more comfortable is cruise control, which comes as standard in the SE and Sport models. It's all about enjoying the ride.

If you choose the optional Family Pack, you'll also get a roof-mounted 7'' TFT screen with RCA connection, along with additional roof storage boxes and folding tables on the front seat backrests. And for your convenience, there's also a removable net partition to prevent luggage from coming into the passenger area along with additional roof storage boxes under the front seat.

TECHNOLOGY

Seen and not heard, the SEAT Altea XL has much to put your mind at ease, and some of the best bits are all under the hood. With a range of powerfully efficient diesel and petrol engines, there's a version to suit everyone.

However, the SEAT Altea XL's intelligence isn't limited to the engine. For comfort it comes with an optional Dual Zone Climate Control. And if you're worried about damaging your beautiful new bumper, then there's the Convenience Pack, with rear parking, rain and light sensors and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. And if you add the Technology pack, you'll get all that plus front parking sensors with an Optical Parking System (OPS) when specified with the SEAT Media System - which lets you see your parking progress on the navigation system display. Plus, the SEAT Media System now includes DAB radio functionality, so you'll have digital radio for your entertainment.

The multi-functional steering wheel includes integrated (and upgraded) Bluetooth® with a handy agenda function. There's a instrument cluster and a touch screen navigation system which comes complete with SD card input and high resolution colour screen. And for those concerned about their family approval ratings, there is an optional fold-down 7'' monitor in the back for those DVD/ video game / iPod® moments. Meanwhile, in the front you get all the fun with our Combined USB/Aux-in Port (CUP), which allows you to fully control your MP3-files on your USB device or iPod® through your multi-functional steering wheel.

SAFETY

The SEAT Altea XL comes with many safety features like the Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS) that allows its bi-xenon headlights to follow the rotational movement of the steering wheel. Also, it has fog lights with cornering function - something that practically allows you to see around corners. Plus it has Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for your better visibility on the highway. We've also included an evermore sophisticated Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and a Traction Control System (TCS) to give you even more stability on the road and control at the wheel. Finally, if things should go wrong, the SEAT Altea XL comes with 6 airbags (and optional rear thorax airbags on the lateral seats) to protect you and your family.

The SEAT Altea XL is part of the Altea family, which has a five star Euro NCAP Adult Occupant Protection rating as well as a four star Child Occupant Protection Rating. The SEAT Altea XL also comes with ISOFIX, which allows up to two child seats to be attached directly to the chassis.
