All versions are combined in series with a manual six-speed (except the most powerful TSI is standard equipment with the automatic six-speed DSG), there is also the possibility of combining with the automatic DSG (version less potent TDI 115, only with manual transmission). By the way, an interesting novelty DSG, since from now adds efficient mode driving sailing, able to decouple the engine when the foot throttle (is an automatic process which depends on driving conditions, speed, road gradient and speed of the motor).
Propellers VW Sharan 2016 and comply with anti-pollution regulations euro 6. In terms of consumption and emissions, they are also more efficient by declaring levels of spending and CO2 up 14.3 percent lower the previous Sharan (full range equips Stop system as standard&Start and stop-start engine and energy recovery system in braking and deceleration). The three variants Diesel, after reducing pollutant particles and NOx levels (two basic restrictions are included in the Euro 6), have a number of technical changes, among which an oxidation catalyst, one Diesel particulate filter system with SCR (selective Catalityc reduction or selective catalytic reduction) and the special AdBlue (urea plus water). Deposit AdBlue It is on one side of the trunk, has 17 liters of capacity and must fill 100,000 km (According to the official book keeping Volkswagen).

At the wheel
In our first contact at the wheel of VW Sharan 2015 we could drive versions Diesel 2.0 TDI 150 hp with manual transmission and 2.0 TDI 184 hp with six-speed DSG. In the first case, we consider that this version of 150hp is more balanced for this vehicle, because of its good relationship between behavior, pushing and consumption levels (in our combined path highways, secondary roads and various areas of urban step , we obtained an average expenditure of 6.6 l / 100 km). The operation of the Stop / Start system was correct in general, while from the point of view of perceived noise levels, vibration and sound aerodynamic in any case the levels become annoying for both driver and passengers.
Again, the change DSG again be a delight for performance and refinement. In the case of Diesel 2.0 TDI 184 hp, engine-exchange interaction is more than satisfactory. In both cases, good driving position and large glazed surfaces contribute to enjoy a good levels of visibility and maneuverability.
