The exterior of the car embodies the new design language of the German company including sharper lines and a wide horizontal grille.
The interior of the car was completely renovated, improved and more modern than that of the current version. This is not really surprising considering that the first representative of the model Sharan shown a long time ago – in 1995.
Volkswagen increased length of the car with 220 mm (now it is 4 850 mm), its width by 92 mm (currently it is 1 902 mm) and its wheelbase by 75 mm and it is now 2 920 mm. Longer wheelbase provides more interior space for passengers and their luggage.
Rear doors are sliding and bigger. They and the trunk door can be opened automatically by means of electrical actuators.
Central row of seats comprises three individual seats which can displace with 160 mm forward or backward, if necessary, and when not in use can be folded to provide more cargo space.
The German company said that due to the increased wheelbase the third row seats are wider and they can safely ride both adults and children. The second row seats can be bending to the floor when not in use.
The minimum capacity of the luggage compartment is 711 liters while the maximum – which is obtained by folding the seats of the two rear lines – is 2 297 liters.
The range of engines for this model is completely renovated. It includes a 1.4-liter TSI petrol engine with an output of 140 hp, 2-liter TSI petrol engine with an output of 200 hp, 2-liter turbo diesel with an output of 140 hp and 2-liter turbo diesel with an output of 170 hp.
