Volkswagen Group, also called Volkswagen AG, major German automobile manufacturer, founded by the German government in 1937 to mass-produce a low-priced “people’s car.” Headquarters are in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Volkswagen is one of the most successful automakers in the history of the car industry. The word Volkswagen means “People’s Car” in German, which is a suitable name, since the German automaker created one of the most mass-produced models in history, the VW Beetle. When it comes to the segment of reliable and affordable cars, Volkswagen models are leaders in the markets of all continents. Yet, the well-known company offers some of the most exclusive vehicles, which are as far as you can get from a regular production vehicle. Today, Volkswagen is one of the most well-known automobile brands; the big part of its success comes from the brand recognition and familiarity.
