THIS is the first picture of SEAT’s new extra large Altea model – logically called the Altea XL.

Based on the five-seat model, the XL version offers an extra 19cm in body length which gives greater boot space and more interior flexibility.

The rear seats can now be moved back an extra 2cm, while luggage space rises from 409 to 532 litres.

The Altea XL goes on sale in the UK early next year.
