2011 Volkswagen Sharan spy photos

By Matt Brogan |

The long awaited replacement to one of Volkswagen’s longest-selling vehicles, the Sharan people mover, has been spied hot weather testing in the US.

Set to replace the current generation Sharan, a vehicle that has been in production sine February 1995, the new model has not only grown in size, but also now adds sliding side doors. Apart from this radical step, however, the new Sharan will be an evolutionary development of the current design.

Under the bonnet we expect petrol and diesel engines similar to those found in the current Golf range.

Likely to share the same front fascia as the Mark VI Golf, the new Sharan is expected to make its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

    And we won’t see it here. Instead VW Oz seems to think the Caddy Maxi Life is what we need. Shame.

      I agree. It’s either the Caddy Maxi Life or the much bigger (and more expensive) Kombi/Caravelle/Multivan.

    True, the Sharan is a brilliant vehicle and I believe would do well over here.

    The good thing about the new Sharan is that it will have nice style details like the new VW grille, sharp head and tail lights, etc. But it also looks practical with deep side windows, tall body and a roomy interior.
    I think this would do great down here, as it will bring style (in context of the market), premium badge and great engines. And will be bought by women called Sharon.

    Same old blob but with the new generic grill. I do like it though, the new T5 looks great with the golf grill.
