Seat has officially unveiled its German-blooded minivan, the Alhambra. Like its clone, the Volkswagen Sharan, the people-mover packs plenty of space, dual-sliding doors and an efficient turbo-diesel option. The Alhambra's spec sheet reads like your run-of-the-mill minivan recipe, with a few exceptions. There are seven seats thanks to a third row capable of comfortably ferrying full-size adults, cavernous amounts of cargo room when all but the front two chairs are stowed away and a laundry list of safety equipment.

Since the Alhambra shares its bones with Volkswagen, it's no surprise that the van gets its power from either a 1.4-liter TSI four-cylinder or a 2.0-liter TDI. The latter engine dishes out 140 horsepower and 51 mpg on the European cycle. Even better, you can get the thing with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The mechanicals aren't quite enough to make our mouths water over the thought of some time behind the wheel, but we're intrigued nevertheless. Head past the jump to see the press release.
