Volkswagen Sharan taken off sale after more than ten years
Seven-seat MPV follows Seat Alhambra sibling out of dealerships, with no direct replacement lined up
Volkswagen has taken its seven-seat Sharan MPV off sale in the UK, ten years since it was introduced to the market.
The move comes as part of a regional model year range update, though the Sharan will remain on sale in other global markets for "some time to come", a spokesperson told Autocar.
No direct replacement has been lined up for the long-serving people carrier, though the smaller Touran and recently revised Tiguan Allspace cater to the seven-seat market.
The confirmation comes more than a year after its closely related Seat Alhambra sibling left UK showrooms. The Ford Galaxy rival had been produced at the Volkswagen Group's AutoEuropa plant in Portugal since the first generation was launched in 1995.
As with the Touran, the Alhambra remains in production for non-UK markets, although it's likely this is only for the short term.
