Seat has yesterday revealed the third model in their ECOMOTIVE range, the Seat Alhambra MPV. The Spanish people mover is powered by a 140 hp 2.0 TDI engine with Diesel Particular Filter (DPF) and emits just 159 g/km of CO2, compared to the 175 g/km CO2 emissions of the regular 2.0 TDI Alhambra, reported Worldcarfans.
Seat has made a few changes in order for the Alhambra to achieve these figures, firstly the DPF and the electronic management but also a new six-speed transmission and low-friction 196/60 tires on 16 inch steel rims.
Performance has not suffered because of the environmentally conscious changes, instead the diesel powered MPV is quicker of the mark to reach 100 km/h then its non EcoMotive sibling, 11.9 seconds and 12.2 seconds respectively, and comes standard with a sport suspension.
