Volkswagen Sharan
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 2022. 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 2022. It has a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and is described in the motor industry as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).
