Those who only use vehicles with taxis Star on the hood in mind should rethink. The Seat Alhambra received the “Taxi of the Year 2017” award and was the overall winner from a test field of 21 vehicles. The industry magazine "taxi today" called 41 taxi operators for the fourth time, who examined the capabilities of the vehicles in Fulda.
The Seat Alhambra pleases with its mature mix
The preferences of vehicle buyers are not only subject to change, but also those of taxi drivers. So drove Seat Alhambra in the category of SUV / Vans the overall victory as "the best taxi" and convinces with its seven seats and variability as well as with its reliability and high comfort. And taxi drivers in particular appreciate these characteristics, as they spool many kilometers onto their vehicles in a very short time. Bernhard Bauer, Managing Director of Seat Germany, is of course particularly pleased about the award, as it represents a confirmation of Seat's product policy.
We asked 41 people ...
... tell us your favorite taxi. A standardized questionnaire was used to differentiate between two vehicle categories according to four main criteria, in which the Seat Alhambra shone with its taxi of the year attributes. The categories were economy, functionality, comfort and emotional aspects, which were rated 1 to 4. The "1" stands for "very good", while the "4" is translated as "not practical". That’s the one Alhambra but far away, he scored 1,65.
Economical petrol and diesel
In view of the current diesel discussion, the first choice does not necessarily fall on one of the two diesel engines - at least as far as the private person is concerned. The diesel engines trust in 2.0 liter displacement and deliver 150 or 184 hp. They can be combined with DSG and all-wheel drive. A 1.4 TSI with 150 PS and a 2.0 TSI with 220 PS are available for the petrol engines, which can also be optionally combined with DSG. Consumption should level off between 5,2 and 7,3 liters, which should also be enough for frugality.
