Seat Alhambra Van – the collective page of the commercial version of the people carrier outside named individual types, 1.9 TDI PD and 2.0 TDI, four-cylinders from 1.9 to 2.0 litres, gross weights up to 2.56 t
This page gathers the versions of the Seat Alhambra registered as commercial vehicles that the register could not assign to a narrower individual range – vehicles from which the rear rows of seats were removed and which are therefore run as a panel van or estate with commercial-vehicle type approval. The Alhambra was developed and built together with the VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy in Palmela, Portugal, and is the people carrier of the Spanish VW subsidiary Seat. The TDI PD suffix stands for turbodiesel direct injection using pump-injector technology, the engine codes AUY, ASZ and AFN denote different power steps of the 1.9-litre diesel, and 2.0 TDI the later common-rail generation.

The register lists here 10 versions from four-cylinders of 1,896 to 1,984 cm³, unladen weights from 1,620 to 1,915 kg, gross weights from 2,400 to 2,560 kg and widths from 1,810 to 1,900 mm.
The commercial version of the Alhambra targeted trades and businesses that wanted to use the people carrier's large load volume without the restrictions of passenger-car type approval, occupying a niche alongside classic panel vans.
On a used Alhambra Van, the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger on the PD engines, the timing belt and water pump, rust on the sills and load floor, and the function of the electric sliding doors count; parts run through the VW Group spare-parts network.
