The SEAT ALTEA XL (2009-15) 5DR MPV 1.6 TDI CR ECOMOTIVE DPF SS 105 EU5 SE COPA is a practical five-door family MPV: taller and more spacious than a conventional hatchback, without the bulk of a large SUV. Its extended body gives passengers and luggage useful room, making it a sensible choice for school runs, shopping and longer trips. The 1.6-litre diesel is aimed at drivers covering regular distances, while the Ecomotive version’s fuel-saving focus and stop-start feature can suit commuters seeking lower running costs. SE Copa adds an appealing equipment level. It sits among family MPVs such as the Ford C-Max and Renault Scenic, offering a more car-like alternative to bigger people carriers.
