Where the standard Altea balanced space with a sporty stance, the XL pushed the formula towards long-distance practicality. Its body is stretched behind the rear axle, so the cabin feels familiar while the boot gains real depth. Offered in 2007–2010 with a strong turbodiesel, it was the quick, load-carrying choice for drivers who cover big mileages yet still want a car that rewards a good road.
The 2.0-litre turbodiesel delivers 168 hp, but the more telling figure is its 258 lb·ft of torque peaking at 1,800 rpm, which makes overtaking and fully loaded motorway cruising feel effortless. Sprinting to 62 mph takes 8.7 seconds, brisk for a car of this size. Behind the rear seats the boot offers 18.8 cubic feet, expanding to 56.6 cubic feet with them folded, enough to make the XL a genuinely useful family and touring machine.
