On Monday, January 2, early in the morning, German police checked Seat Alhambra on the Swiss border. What was their surprise when 23 members of the “big family” got out of the car. I’m coming back from Poland! The police counted among them 9 adults and 14 children! It must be admitted that the Spanish minivan offers space for its passengers, but it is not a school bus!
It can carry 7 passengers, but not 23!
It doesn’t matter if it’s a vehicle first generation introduced in 1996 or the second launched in 2010 Spanish minivan has always shared its platform, as well as almost all its components, with the Volkswagen Sharan. The result, even when it ends in 2020, the Seat Alhambra has always offered the possibility of having 7 real seats. However, even with a length of almost 4.9 m and a wheelbase of 3 m, it is hard to imagine that we can carry 23 passengers!
Salty fine?
Everything is in paper order, 23 passengers were able to leave the territory of Germany and get to Switzerland after completing the necessary administrative formalities. It is sad, the Swiss driver must very logically” expect a fine “who we imagine will be salted for carrying his passengers” without any security guarantees “, as stated by the German authorities.
