The VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN (2000-10) 5DR MPV 1.8T 150 SPORT 7-SEAT is a roomy five-door people carrier, not an SUV or ordinary hatchback. In the UK used market, its seven seats and flexible cabin suit families needing space for passengers and everyday loads. Sport trim and a turbocharged petrol engine add a livelier edge. It works well for school runs, larger households and longer journeys. Against rivals such as the Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra, the Sharan is known for practical seven-seat versatility and a familiar Volkswagen feel. The 1.8T 150 Sport is more lively than basic people carriers, although petrol economy is worth weighing up.
