Volkswagen Sharan

Introduction

Family appeal radiates from the Volkswagen Sharan, the manufacturer’s defining MPV with exceptional capability.

Few vehicles offer such a harmonious combination of storage capacity, performance and high safety.

The new Volkswagen Sharan can be discovered at Jardine Motors Group in Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire.

Safety

Maintaining the highest standards of passenger safety exhibited by the current generation of Volkswagen vehicles

The Sharan has been awarded a five-star safety rating by respected testing body Euro NCAP.

ISOFIX tethers are included as standard to keep young passengers protected, and full child seats integrated with the second and third rows can be specified as an optional upgrade.

Design

The futuristic new Volkswagen 'face', flowing contours and flush sliding doors create the vehicle's intensely attractive yet purposeful road presence. The door handles, mirrors and bumpers are finished in an identical paintwork shade to blend into the Sharan's dynamic profile, with metallics, pearlescent colours, and the exclusive 'White Onyx' special shade to select from. Ten upholstery choices are provided across the four Sharan specification levels, providing cloth and leather fabric alternatives dependent on the model selected. Each is complemented by metallic decorative inserts, which perfect the refined interior with eye-catching accents. An incredible 33 storage compartments are distributed through the MPV's cabin, which include cup holders, a cooled, illuminated and lockable glove compartment, and integrated pockets within the fully upholstered armrests and roof console.

Technology

BlueMotion technology is integrated into four of the five engines offered with the Sharan, drastically reducing the model's fuel consumption.

The 1.4-litre, 148bhp TSI petrol engine drives the MPV from 0-60mph in 10.7 seconds and continues to reach a potential 122mph maximum speed.The carefully honed, shock-absorbing suspension systems that underpin the Sharan's performance comprise a front coil spring arrangement with telescopic shock absorbers, and a rear grouping with gas pressure shock absorbers.

A four-link formation provides accurate wheel control centred on each axle.
