Volkswagen Sharan (2010-2022) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Massively practical seven seater | Not at all trendy |
| Sliding rear doors for easy access | Models on sports suspension have a firmer ride |
| Huge boot | Reliability can be an issue in older models |
Quick Summary
The Volkswagen Sharan (2010-2022) is a sensible, practical seven-seat MPV designed for families prioritising space and versatility. The second-generation model, launched in 2010, was significantly larger than its predecessor, offering considerably more interior room. It features an ingenious EasyFold seating system where the second and third rows fold into the floor, creating a cavernous boot of 300 litres with all seats upright—considerably more than most rivals. Sliding rear doors enhance accessibility, and optional integrated child seats add further practicality for families with young children.
Engine options include 1.4 and 2.0 TSI petrols alongside 2.0 TDI diesels, with a 2015 facelift bringing improved efficiency and cleaner emissions. Diesel engines offer the best balance of performance and economy, achieving around 40-43mpg in real-world driving. The post-facelift models feature enhanced infotainment with App-Connect compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, and three-zone air conditioning. Running costs are generally low, with competitive insurance groups and modest VED bills. Whilst some owners report reliability concerns with older examples, a well-maintained Sharan with full service history represents excellent value as a used seven-seater.
Best for: Families needing maximum practicality and space, those seeking an affordable seven-seater alternative to SUVs, and buyers valuing versatile seating configurations and sliding doors.
Not ideal for: Driving enthusiasts seeking engaging handling, those prioritising trendy styling, or buyers concerned about potential reliability issues in older models.

The Verdict
You should buy the Sharan if: You need maximum practicality and space for a large family, seek an affordable seven-seater alternative to SUVs, or value versatile seating and sliding doors.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, trendy styling, or require absolute reliability assurance in older models.
Competitive Position: The Volkswagen Sharan (2010-2022) is a strong practical choice in the seven-seat MPV market, offering excellent space, innovative seating flexibility, and competitive pricing. Whilst rivals like the Seat Alhambra and Ford Galaxy score slightly higher overall, the Sharan remains a sensible, capable family car with lower running costs than SUVs.
