The VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN (2010-15) 5DR MPV 1.4 TSI BLUEMOTION TECH SS 150 S is a spacious, seven-seat family MPV rather than an SUV or ordinary hatchback. In the UK, it sits among practical people carriers, offering room and flexibility for busy households. Its 1.4-litre petrol engine provides 150bhp, while Bluemotion Tech stop-start features are intended to help reduce fuel use in everyday driving. Sliding rear doors make access easier in tight parking spaces, and the adaptable cabin suits school runs, holidays and carrying bulky shopping. It is best suited to families needing several seats and more space than a typical estate car. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra, the Sharan is known for useful practicality and a comfortable, straightforward driving experience.
