First of all, we must distinguish between two names: Volkswagen (also called Volkswagen, Volkswagen) and Volkswagen Group.

Volkswagen is the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's four largest automobile manufacturers. Its brands include the following:

Bora - Gol - Golf - Golf Jetta - Jetta

Passat - Lavida - New Beetle - New Beetle

Phaeton - Polo - Sagitar - Sagitar

Scirocco - Scirocco Touraeg - Touran - Tiguan - Touran

The German Volkswagen Group companies include:

Audi - purchased from Daimler-Benz in 1964.

NSU - Bought by Volkswagen's Audi division in 1969, the brand has not been used since 1977.

SEAT - Major holder since 1987. 0?7koda - Bought in 1991.

Bentley (Bentley) - Bought from Vickers at the same time as the Rolls-Royce brand in 1998, but since the registered trademark rights were transferred to BMW, it can no longer use the Rolls-Royce brand to manufacture vehicles.

Bugatti - Bought this name in 1998

Lamborghini - Bought on June 12, 1998.

On May 7, 2009, after a four-year acquisition war, Porsche and Volkswagen reached a preliminary agreement. The two companies will merge into one, creating Europe's largest carmaker with 10 major brands.
