Life is anything but predictable. Perhaps now more than ever. If you happen to be a car designer, where does the SEAT Altea leave you? If you were part of the team behind the Altea, you would answer with one word: Versatility. To put it another way, before we thought about our plans we thought about yours.
Design The SEAT Altea's exterior design update includes a front bumper and grille, mirrors, a wider rear windscreen, rear lamps, optional bi-xenon headlights, a tasty tailgate and alloys. Inside, the SEAT Altea still has class-beating cabin space. All in all, it's like a breath of fresh air.
Stability The SEAT Altea's class-beating road-holding credentials are due in part to a multi-link rear axle. As part of our commitment to safety, all Altea models are fitted as standard with an Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). So, if a wheel starts slipping, the SEAT Altea's ESP compensates, and stops it from doing so - something that significantly improves the grip you've got on the road. Plus ESP now includes Hill Hold Control, which stops you from rolling down a slope the moment the clutch is engaged. The result is greater stability and safety, agility and comfort. Bring on the curves!
Safety Thanks to the Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS) the SEAT Altea's bi-xenon headlights follow the rotational movement of the steering wheel, giving you illumination where you need it most. The cornering lights serve a similar purpose - activated by the indicator signal, a cornering light housed in the fog lamp illuminates the area in the direction you intend to turn. Like the Daytime Running Lights (for cars specified with bi-xenon headlights), this also makes you more visible to oncoming drivers. Safety is as much about road holding as it is about protection. And for road holding the SEAT Altea is king. This is due to its multi-link rear axle and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), which is in turn linked to the Traction Control System (TCS). In its latest incarnation the TCS has its sensors in the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), which prevents wheel spin at lower and higher speeds. The combination quite simply turns bad roads into good ones. Also, while talking about the brakes, the SEAT Altea comes with Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) which maximises the braking power in the shortest available time. Meanwhile, the interior rear view mirror has been fitted out with an auto-dimming rear view mirror (when specified as part of the Convenience Pack) to prevent the driver from getting blinded by glare from the car behind.
