VW Sharan - German minivan of Italian origin

If you compare the US and European markets for the sale of minivans, the latter is more like a stall. But every year the number of models purchased in this segment increases, and those that have become popular are gradually being updated, and now the updated model of VW Sharan is available to fans of this class of cars .

This car since 1995 has been sold in an amount exceeding 230 thousand vehicles, with more than half sold in Germany. A key role in this success was played not only by the dignity of the car, but also by the reputation of the largest automaker in Europe, specializing in small cars.

Volkswagen Sharan - it's almost universal car. This vehicle is suitable for business as well as for country trips by the whole family. The result of close cooperation between Ford and Volkswagen was the minivan model, which occupies one of the leading positions among both new and used vehicles.

There were three almost identical cars on the market, among them VW Sharan, Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra. They externally had differences only in small details. We are talking about bumpers, light-optics, radiator grille and interior trim. On cars of marks of Seat installed the Ford motors in volume 2,3 and 2 liters. As for the others
Representatives named above, then the "heart" they served as time-tested engines of the German automaker Volkswagen.

Most cars that are produced in the first few years are similar to such "hard workers". Salon luxury is not allocated, and bumpers have unpainted appearance. However, everything changes when consumer demand says that the car will be bought. Then the bundle becomes richer.

But in the case of Volkswagen Sharan, it is only necessary to sit in the salon, as skepticism evaporates somewhere. It's not strange, because the space is more than enough, and the landing is high, like on off-road cars, which provides excellent visibility during control. True, in VW Sharan somewhat backward movement is difficult . Basically, as well as in trucks, you have to connect the side mirrors, since it is normal to use the rear mirror located in the interior of the rear head restraints.
And although most of the vehicles on the market of this class have 7 seats, in the case of the Volkswagen Sharan, the buyer will have to pay for the third row of seats. Sometimes you can meet and 6-seat options. Among them, and VW Sharan Carat, in the cabin of which designers have installed six separate seats with headrests. Incidentally, in the top versions of the car, the front seats can be turned 180 degrees.

But many fans of reliable German technology can be upset by the fact that the Volkswagen Sharan is not manufactured in Germany. The plant where the car is produced is located in the homeland of Seat. But experts say that the Italian origin did not harm the car in any way. The whole reason is German pedantry, which ensures the control of all its products.
