The SEAT Altea has a similar front face to the SEAT Leon hatchback. However the Altea’s raised roofline doesn’t work quite so well as the proportions aren’t quite as cohesive. The car does have character though and is certainly not bland. The Altea has a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating, along with ISOFIX child seat mounting points as standard. The standard suspension set-up gives good body control and a comfortable ride, whereas the sports suspension option gives much firmer dynamics that are made noticeably worse when combined with 17-inch alloys wheels. Poor visibility and cabin noise are a problem for drivers; the thick pillars between the windscreen and side windows obstruct the driver's view, while the tiny rear screen makes reversing difficult. Cabin- and road noise become a source of annoyance at motorway speeds.
If you need more space than the standard car offers, the Altea XL is 18.7cm longer. This brings more practicality and improves luggage space from 409 litres to 532 litres. The rear bench can also slide backwards and forwards to favour legroom or loadspace.
