Sharan's transmission is a wet type. The Sharan is equipped with a wet 6-speed dual-clutch transmission across all models. This transmission performs well in terms of fuel economy and smooth gear shifting, offering a balanced performance and high stability with minimal likelihood of malfunctions. A dual-clutch transmission contains two clutch plates inside, with one responsible for odd-numbered gears and the other for even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions are categorized into dry and wet types. The dry dual-clutch transmission uses air cooling to lower the temperature of the clutch plates, while the wet dual-clutch transmission employs liquid cooling for temperature reduction. The Sharan has body dimensions of 4854mm in length, 1904mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. It features a turbocharged engine, front-wheel drive, and a luggage compartment capacity ranging from 300 to 2297 liters.
