The Volkswagen Sharan is a seven-seater minivan that was produced by the German Volkswagen Group. It was built at the AutoEuropa plant in Palmela, Portugal across two generations from 1995 to 2023. Through badge engineering, the Volkswagen Sharan shares the same platform with the SEAT Alhambra, and the first generation was also in most respects identical to the Ford Galaxy. A second generation was produced from 2010 to 2023. It has a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and is described in the motor industry as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

Why is it worth importing Volkswagen Sharan?

The American market offers the Volkswagen Sharan in equipment versions that are often unavailable in Europe. In addition, the transparent service history (Carfax) and strict insurance regulations in the US make buying a "damaged" car a safer investment than buying an "accident-free" vehicle with an unknown history on the local market.
