Used Volkswagen Sharan for sale

The Volkswagen Sharan is a sensible family car that has comfortable seating for up to seven people.

Although SUVs are the go-to choice for many who want a family car, they don't offer the same level of space as a traditional MPV (multi-purpose vehicle). The Sharan is a great choice because of its excellent build quality and practicality.

There are a variety of reasons why you should consider a Sharan as a used car, which include:

Immensely practical
High-quality finish throughout
Efficient choice of engines
Seating for seven people
Comfortable

Engines and Driving Experience

Thanks to its comfortable seats and refined interior, the Sharan makes for an enjoyable driving experience. Visibility for the most part is very good, which helps when manoeuvring in confined spaces. Despite its size, the Sharan is reasonably responsive and is more agile than you'd expect.

Diesel

2.0-litre: 148bhp, 0 to 62mph in 10.3 seconds, up to 44.8mpg
2.0-litre: 175bhp, 0 to 62mph in 9.3 seconds, up to 40.9mpg

Petrol

1.4-litre: 148bhp, 0 to 62mph in 9.9 seconds, up to 37.2mpg

A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard fit on the petrol and entry-level diesel engine. A DSG automatic transmission can be found on the most powerful diesel and is also available on the petrol.

Practicality and Running Costs

Unsurprisingly, the Sharan is as big on the inside as it is on the outside. There's comfortable seating for up to seven people, while the abundance of head and legroom will prove popular with taller passengers. In addition, there's loads of cubby holes and storage compartments for everyone to use.

With all seven seats in place, the Sharan offers a respectable 300 litres of boot space. All of the seats can be folded flat to create a van-like 2,297 litres, which is ideal for transporting things like bicycles. The petrol model has a towing capacity of 2,000kg, while the diesels can haul up to 2,300kg.

The Sharan occupies insurance groups between 19 and 25, which is about right for this class of car. Servicing and maintenance can be completed at your nearest Evans Halshaw retailer.

Interior, Technology, and Safety

The Sharan's interior may not be the most inspiring to look at, but it's well-made and doesn't take long to get familiar with. Everything feels robust and hard-wearing, but has a quality finish that some rivals can't compete with.

Equipment levels across the range are generally pretty good. Entry-level 'S' models benefit from climate control, satellite navigation, DAB radio and electric windows. Head further up the range and you'll start to get features like rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, heated seats and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The Sharan scored a four-star safety rating during a Euro NCAP crash test in 2019, scoring highly for adult and child protection. Safety features include:

ISOFIX anchor points
Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Tyre-pressure warning system
Post-collision braking system

Is the Volkswagen Sharan right for me?

MPVs aren't as popular as they used to be, which is no surprise when you look at some of the SUV offerings available. However, if you want a super-practical family car that's efficient and comfortable, then the Sharan is an excellent choice.

You aren't short of alternatives to consider if you're in the market for an MPV. The Ford Galaxy will offer the best driving experience, while the Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer is one of the more flamboyant options available.
