VW Sharan can be an office on wheels

By CARSIFU | 17 April 2020


WOLFSBURG: With people all over Europe practically working from home, Volkswagen has suggested turning their Sharan multipurpose vehicle (MPV) into a mobile office.

Admittedly, those with children can have situations complicated during a video conference or telephone call. Hence, the suggestion.

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.

The Sharan can be transformed into a mobile office in no time with its variable seating configuration which can be used as an office chair or a shelf.

To transform the Sharan into an office, as soon as a quiet and possibly scenic place has been chosen that has a mobile signal, use the cup holders to store coffee cups and water bottles with available in each row of seats.

Documents can 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.

Thanks to the intelligent spatial concept in the Sharan that's 4,850mm-long and 1,900mm-wide, it is possible to set up your own workplace the way you like it or even change things around.

Whether in the front, or in the second or third row of seats – an outstanding view through the panoramic roof awaits.

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.

The Sharan also features USB ports and an optional 230V socket in 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.

With the Sharan, there’s no need to miss out on your lunch break. With a loading bay of up to around two metres, there is enough space in the back for a lunch break.
