The first crossover that SEAT introduced to the international market was the Altea Freetrack. The manufacturer positions this car in the SUV-Compact class, it is ready to compete with giants producing similar models such as the Volksvagen Cross Touran and Renault Scenic Conquest. Thanks to the optimal combination of practicality and functionality, thoughtful interior comfort and excellent handling, the debut of the new SUV caused a doubling of sales in its class in the first year alone, which significantly pressed other European manufacturers. The SEAT Altea Freetrack is a five-door, full- or front-wheel-drive C-class crossover based on the Altea XL, but differs from it in terms of exterior design and a number of technical specifications.

These protections protect the body while driving and give it a reliable, massive appearance. The model is equipped with off-roadseventeen-inch wheels and all-terrain tires. The increase in ground clearance of the SEAT Altea Freetrack by 40 mm, compared to other representatives of the product line of this company, allows the car to move off-road or on a track with poor coverage without complications.
Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, parking and rain sensors, cruise control, on-board computer, light intensity sensor, as well as a stereo CD-MP3 radio controlled by a button on the steering wheel, and sun shades located on the back windows. Particular emphasis is placed on vehicle safety. The SEAT Altea is equipped with six airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, ESP, TCS, DSR and HBA.
A nice addition to the interior is the ceiling-mounted multimedia system, consisting of a seven-inch TFT screen and an RCA connection that allows you to connect an MP3 player, laptop or DVD player. The appearance of the cabin impresses even the most demanding driver.
For sales in Russia, the car is equipped with a two-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 211 horsepower. In 7.6 seconds, the new Seat is able to accelerate to a speed of 100 km / h. The maximum speed provided by the manufacturer is 214 km / h with a fuel consumption of 9.4 liters per hundred kilometers. When driving around the city, this value increases significantly, reaching 12.8 liters.
The main advantage of the SEAT Altea cabinFreetrack, of course, is its size and ceiling height, which allows a person of any height to feel comfortable. The rear seat is designed to accommodate three passengers freely, the trunk is roomy enough even for a long journey.
