About Volkswagen

Volkswagen was founded in 1937 to build a "people's car", the Beetle designed by Ferdinand Porsche, in the new factory town that became Wolfsburg. The Beetle went into mass production after the Second World War and became one of the best-selling cars in history.

The Transporter (1950), Golf (1974), Polo, Passat, Jetta, Tiguan and Touareg followed, and in 2019 the ID.3 opened the ID. electric family. The Volkswagen Group also includes Audi, SEAT, Cupra, Škoda, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini.
