2006–2010 SEAT Altea FR 2.0 TFSI 200 b Specs & Performance

The SEAT Altea FR 2.0 TFSI 200 occupies an interesting middle ground between a hot hatch and a family-oriented compact MPV. Its raised seating position and tall cabin provide everyday practicality, but the FR treatment gives it a distinctly sportier purpose. Rather than relying on an aggressive body shape, it pairs the Altea's unconventional proportions with a turbocharged petrol engine and a chassis designed to make winding roads more engaging. It suits drivers who want usable passenger space without surrendering the enjoyment of a genuinely brisk car.

Produced across the 2006–2010 model range, its 1,984 cc turbocharged four-cylinder develops 197 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox sends power to the front wheels, while the engine's peak torque at 1,800 rpm helps deliver strong mid-range response. With a 137 mph top speed and a 7.5-second 0–60 mph time, the Altea FR combines energetic performance with the flexibility of a five-seat, five-door cabin.
