The Volkswagen Sharan is a hugely impressive MPV with a name that’s derived from a word meaning ‘carrier of kings’ in Persian. If that’s not enough to grab your attention at first, sit yourself down and prepare to be amazed because the VW has a lengthy list of plus points that make it one of the best people carriers around. If you’re after something spacious, easy to drive and with 7 seats, there’s not much better out there. Saddle up, your highness!
Introduced in 1995, the Sharan has been at the forefront of MPV design, functionality and overall performance for many years. Several generations have been released, with the most modern being hugely stylish indeed. This actually makes it highly versatile, and as such it can be used as a family transporter or an executive carrier just as easily.
In terms of design, the Sharan has always been a bit of a looker; but while older models were quite docile, new generations are more imposing and have a front end that looks distinctly like a frown. With big windows across all variants, spaciousness has always been accentuated. This light and bright atmosphere combined with trademark VW trim, interior design and comfort means it’s a great place to be, whatever the length of journey.
You buy an MPV and expect high levels of practicality, and the Sharan doesn’t disappoint in this regard. It’s huge inside and has a mammoth boot that’ll swallow anything from shopping to luggage with easy when you put the rear seats down. However with all 7 in regular positions, there’s still more than enough room. It has a good ride quality and is very smooth to drive, which plays to its target audience perfectly. Add some frugal engines to the mix and you get punch performance and excellent fuel economy too.
Due to its relatively long life compared to other MPVs out there, it’s no surprise to find that early models of the Sharan are among some of the most popular people carriers around to buy pre owned. At Motors.co.uk however, you can find a mixed bag of second hand cars for sale that even include the latest versions. With a used Volkswagen Sharan, you’ll pay significantly less for a seriously versatile auto, and that makes it one of the best buys around.
The VW Sharan then is a large people carrier in every sense of the word. In size, stature, reputation and personality, it trumps pretty much everything else in its genre. Modern versions are awesome to look at and just as good to get behind the wheel of, so it’s easy to see why families, executives and even chauffeur businesses choose it as staple. There’s simply no better way to transport up to 7 people in as much comfort or style.
