The Brand Throughout Time
Volkswagen’s story began in Germany in the 1930s, with a vision to create practical vehicles for everyday people. The name Volkswagen means “people’s car,” a fitting foundation for a brand that would become one of the most recognised vehicle manufacturers in the world.
The original Volkswagen Beetle became one of the brand’s most iconic vehicles, helping shape Volkswagen’s reputation for simple, dependable, and accessible motoring.
Over time, Volkswagen expanded into hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, bakkies, commercial vehicles, and performance models. Today, the brand is known for combining practical design with refined engineering and a confident European driving feel.
