VW Sharan camper boot size

The VW Sharan strikes a good balance between size and comfort. Actually, it’s one of the biggest MPV’s out there. If boot size is your primary criteria – you can’t go wrong with a Sharan. The car drives nicely too and offers good comfort in the front for the driver and passenger. It’s not the best car to take off the road completely – but you can take it down a good enough mud road without any big problems. A very good car camping / microcamping conversion candidate, unless you are planning to drive through forests and very much offroad.

This car’s boot is 209 cm long ⤢, 113 cm tall ↕, and 125 cm wide ↔.


NimbleCamper rating: 3.9/5

Average rating: 3.6/5 = very good!

Frequently asked questions:

Oh yes you can! It comfortably sleeps two people + a dog (labrador size), tested personally by yours truly. 🙂 In the 7-seater, you just fold the seats down and put a sleeping matt down. The 5-seater needs some DIY leveling of the sleeping area, but nothing difficult.

Yes – completely flat. In the 7-seater, they will create a nice flat sleeping area. In the 5-seater, you will have to build something in the boot to level the sleeping area with the middle seats.

Yes – it’s one of the most comfortable MPVs you can find and still surprises with van-like boot size. Perfect for camping and comfortable long camping trips.

It’s somewhere in the middle – according to a Whatcar.com survey, it finished 16th out of 31 cars. But newer models seem to be much more reliable than older models, according to ADAC breakdown stats (pick “Mittelklasse” in the dropdown) – especially since 2017.

Yes, unfortunately, the Sharan production will stop in 2022. No direct replacement has been announced yet.

The Sharan is quite a bit bigger: 33cm longer, 7.5cm wider and 6cm taller than the Touran. The additional 33cm length is especially handy when camping, of course, width and height helps a lot too.
