Driving Experience:
The addition of a Lewis Reed wheelchair ramp does not significantly affect the overall driving experience of the Alhambra, but it does provide a number of benefits for accessibility and ease of use.
Engine Performance:
The 2.0 TDI engine with 184 PS provides plenty of power for both everyday driving and carrying heavier loads. With this engine, the Alhambra is still responsive and can handle long-distance trips, even with the added weight of the wheelchair ramp and additional mobility aids.
Torque: The diesel engine offers a high level of torque, which is beneficial for maintaining power when driving with a wheelchair or other mobility aids onboard.
Transmission and Gearbox:
The 6-speed manual gearbox remains smooth and easy to use. The manual transmission is ideal for those who prefer more control over the driving experience, especially when navigating varying road conditions or longer trips.
Fuel Economy:
The Ecomotive version of the Alhambra is designed to be fuel-efficient. Expect an average of 45-55 MPG, depending on driving conditions and style. The start/stop system (s/s) helps save fuel by cutting the engine when idling.
The additional weight of the wheelchair ramp may cause a minor decrease in fuel efficiency, but the impact is generally minimal for a vehicle of this size and class.
Ride Comfort:
The Alhambra is known for its comfort, and this is not compromised with the addition of the wheelchair ramp. The suspension absorbs bumps well, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride for all passengers.
Whether you're driving through the city or on longer trips, the seats are comfortable, and the cabin remains quiet and well-insulated from road noise. The suspension is also designed to handle extra weight without significantly affecting ride quality.
Handling and Steering:
Handling: The Alhambra remains agile for its size, and the addition of the wheelchair ramp does not make it cumbersome to drive. The steering is light and responsive, making it easy to maneuver, particularly when parking.
