Press Release

Sharan serves as an office on wheels

People all over Europe are working from home, which can be complicated: They’re in a video conference team meeting, the phone starts ringing and children are yelling through the living room, all at the same time. Working from the car could be the best solution for anyone needing a few hours a day to concentrate on completing some tasks for their job in peace. As a result, the working environment is relocated to nearby places with a nice view.

Do you fancy a spontaneous, straight-forward change of scene? Not a problem with the Sharan as it transforms into a mobile office in no time. Thanks to the seating configuration you are at liberty to choose which seat is turned into your office chair and which one is used as a shelf.

Setting up the mobile workplace in only a few steps

Transform the Sharan into an office as soon as you have spotted a quiet place to park with a nice view and mobile phone signal. Use cup holders to store coffee cups and water bottles, two are available in each row of seats. Documents fit into side pockets in the door trim, glove box or on the folding front passenger seat, meaning they are always within reach. Once the Internet connection has been established with a mobile hotspot or LTE dongle, there is nothing stopping incoming and outgoing emails as well as video conferences with colleagues.

One car – several options

Thanks to the intelligent spatial concept in the Sharan with a length of 4.85 metres and a width of 1.90 metres it is possible to set up your own workplace the way you like it or even change things around. If you prefer to not have the notebook resting on your lap, you can either place it on the folding seat in the centre or use one of the folding tables fitted to the front seats as a desk. The Sharan also provides enough space to stretch your legs and enjoy the view through the tilting panoramic sunroof in creative breaks.

Keep an eye on everything with We Connect Go

The Sharan features USB ports and an optional 230 volt socket on the rear centre console to recharge laptops and smartphones. The We Connect Go app indicates the exact amount of energy remaining in the car battery at any time. And once you have finished in the (literally) mobile office, there is nothing nicer than bringing the day to a close with a walk.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
