TECHNOLOGY TO ENJOY

The award-winning new SEAT Alhambra is an MPV not only named Best MPV by Diesel car, but voted Best MPV in WhatCar? 2011 and 2012 and Car of the year  2011. Coupled with Lewis Reed’s excellent achievement of winning Best Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Supplier for 2011 by Motability, here is a new outstanding quality conversion for you and your family. This is a vehicle really worth looking at.

Lewis Reed focuses on the whole family when designing and developing the perfect bespoke conversion for you.

Intelligent Space

The new SEAT Alhambra is the most complete, up to date MPV wheelchair accessible vehicle for the modern family. By saying it has space we mean plenty of it.

Lewis Reed has converted this vehicle to leave a lasting impression on everyone. Never before had a wheelchair accessible family car blended so intelligently the concepts of space, technology and functional design and most importantly the needs of the passengers and wheelchair user.

Quality

Quality is paramount with Lewis Reed and as you’d expect with all our vehicles the Alhambra is finished off beautifully through our innovative unique seal and suspension technologies. Our designs give perfect conversion benefits such as integrated rattle free TorSpring ramp plus smooth exterior lines where the ramp is hidden within the bumper.

Headroom for rear seat passengers is exceptional and there are large tinted windows which offer a fantastic eye line with the option of an integral blind for extra  privacy for the rear passengers.

The Alhambra is fitted with all original full sized rear seats offering all its passengers a comfortable, airy, light and flexible interior. It is simply a high quality conversion.

Lewis Reed’s initial conversion will have the wheelchair position placed behind the rear passenger seats; however further seating arrangements are in developments and will be available soon. Please call to discuss.

Enhanced Comfort

The new Alhambra has been meticulously crafted and conveys a level of sporting appeal that no other MPV manages to do.
It is available in the generously equipped S, SE, and the high spec SE Lux. It is an exceptional car with sleek, aerodynamic design, it’s suspension gives a quiet and smooth drive plus has a wealth of innovative safety features as standard.

The optional panoramic sliding roof has an enormous opening, while the three-zone, Climatronic feature ensures optimum temperature in all seating areas. Optional electric sliding doors, rear hatch and electric hand brake button are all available for enhanced comfort. All engines offer either a 6 speed manual or DSG semi-auto gearbox.

 Environmentally Friendly

The SEAT Alhambra is a car that has a reduced impact on the environment. Revolutionary Ecomotive engines incorporate a Start & Stop function and an innovative Brake Energy Recovery System helping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions whilst offering enhanced comfort and a smoother dynamic performance.

Easy Access

The New Alhambra is a very accessible vehicle. The rear has Lewis Reed’s uniquely designed rattle free integral TorSpring® ramp mechanism making entering a simple and easy task. It is lightweight, durable and easy to use whilst still allowing the vehicle to retain its stylish good looks. As well as rear entry, this car has two wide side sliding doors. All seats are original and full sized plus rear seats can be fully collapsed with ease.

 Safety & Security

Every Alhambra comes with stability control, a tyre pressure-monitoring system and seven airbags, including a driver’s knee bag and curtain airbags that run the full length of the cabin.
Safety is non-negotiable. This means you have up to nine airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag, plus electric child locks on the rear doors. For your peace of mind, the new SEAT Alhambra is equipped with integrated child seat with iSOFIX/Top Tether anchoring system.
Also standard in the Alhambra are the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), including electronic braking assistant, trailer stabilisation and tyre pressure monitoring display. The concept of safe comfort takes on a new dimension with the new Alhambra’s self-sealing tyre feature.
