What is the trunk size of the Volkswagen Sharan?
2 Answers
The trunk capacity of the Volkswagen Sharan can be flexibly adjusted between 375 liters, 711 liters, 1167 liters, and 2297 liters. With all seats upright, the trunk capacity is 375 liters. When the seats are folded down, the maximum trunk capacity can reach up to 2297 liters. Below is an introduction to the hidden design features of the trunk. Escape Switch: This device is located at the lock cylinder of the trunk latch. On the trunk lid, you will find a small cover in black or another color. Inside the cover, there is a white pull tab, pull cord, or crescent-shaped switch. Although the forms vary, the principle is the same. By pulling this tab forcefully, the trunk can be opened, allowing access from inside the vehicle when needed. Small Hooks: Hooks can be found in the trunks of most vehicles, though their positions and forms may differ. Some lower-trim models may not come with hooks but have pre-installed slots for adding hooks later, making it convenient to hang items. First Aid Kit: Many vehicle models come equipped with an in-car first aid kit from the factory, containing commonly used emergency tools such as gauze, scissors, and adhesive tape. Some models' first aid kits also include instructions for proper usage in emergencies. Luggage Compartment Partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models have a partition in the trunk area, which is a factory-installed accessory. The vehicle is designed with a reserved installation spot for this partition. It not only enhances the privacy and security of the luggage but also clearly separates the trunk from the passenger compartment. It is advisable not to place items on top of the partition, as they may obstruct the driver's rearview and could potentially be thrown into the passenger compartment during braking, posing a risk to occupants.
The trunk capacity of the Sharan is approximately 710 liters in standard configuration, which is quite spacious and can accommodate several large suitcases or camping gear. When the rear seats are folded down, it can expand to around 2297 liters, offering an astonishing amount of space—I've even managed to fit an entire sofa in there. With a height of about 90 cm and a width of 1.1 meters, it's suitable for transporting tall items. The large opening makes loading and unloading convenient, and the low threshold is great for moving heavy items. It's a bit more practical than the Toyota Sienna, but be careful not to overload it to avoid instability. This MPV is reliable for both daily use and travel.
