VW Sharan makes ideal camping car


Been away camping for a few days with the family and Volkswagen kindly loaned me a new Sharan for the trip. As a seven-seater it would be too big for us as a regular family car – it’s me, my wife and two kids most of the time – but it proved its worth over the weekend. With the third row of chairs folded flat the people carrier swallowed all the camping kit, and when we met up with grandparents on a day out, I reconfigured it in seconds and it was ideal transport for the six of us. It also impressed a friend of mine who was part of our multi-family trip. He’s also got a wife and two little ones, but works as a photographer and needs space for all his camera kit. He was very impressed with the flexibility of the Sharan’s interior, and also the little ‘attention to detail’ things. He was genuinely impressed with how the second row seat base tilts to allow it to slide further forward to create better access to the third row (pictured, above). I think he might be visiting a VW dealer very soon to trade in his ageing Peugeot estate!
