General description
The 2007 SEAT Altea Stylance 2.0 TDI 140 CV DSG is a minivan that combines family functionality with a touch of dynamism. With its 140 hp diesel engine and 6-speed DSG automatic transmission, it promises a balanced and efficient driving experience. Its design, although already a few years old, remains recognizable and practical for everyday use.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Altea, the feeling is one of solidity and control. The 2.0 TDI 140 hp engine offers an energetic response, especially thanks to the 320 Nm of torque available from low revolutions, which facilitates overtaking and highway driving. The DSG gearbox is a marvel, with smooth and fast transitions that contribute to a pleasant journey. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters road irregularities well, providing a good compromise between comfort and stability. The electric power steering is precise, although it could offer a little more feedback. Overall, it is a car that invites you to travel peacefully, but does not give up a bit of fun when demanded.

The design of the SEAT Altea, although launched in 2004, maintains a functional and distinctive aesthetic. Its lines are fluid and its compact minivan silhouette gives it a robust presence. The elongated headlights and the characteristic SEAT grille give it its own personality. Inside, the layout is practical and driver-oriented, with materials that, without being luxurious, fulfill their function and resist the passage of time well. Habitability is one of its strong points, offering generous space for occupants and a 409-liter trunk, sufficient for family needs.
Technology and features

The 6-speed DSG transmission stands out, a technology that revolutionized the market for its efficiency and speed.

In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and discs at the rear, and electric power steering that improves maneuverability. Although it does not have the latest current driving aids, its equipment is adequate for the time.
