Volkswagen has come a long way. Starting as a manufacturer of Spartan beetles in the 1960s, it now produces sedans, valuable SUVs, and sporty hatchbacks.
Founded in 1937 by the German government, the Volkswagen group is headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The group’s core brand manages production facilities in 14 nations, where it manufactures vehicles for customers in more than 150 countries around the globe.
In 2015, Volkswagen surpassed Toyota Motor Corporation to claim the spot of the world’s largest car manufacturer by volume.
With the introduction of its new brand design, Volkswagen has entered a new era of leading technology, quality, and innovation.
As its first model in the ID Product line, the ID.3, is an all-electric, zero-emissions car based on the Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (MEB). In May 2018, the group set aside $48 billion in car battery supplies and by 2022, it aims to set up 16 factories for electric cars.

Verbally attacked and insulted.
2015 VW Passat TDI purchased new in 2017, just over the 80000km (Has 81000 I drive 1000km a week) should have taken it to dealer a week ago. Requires heatercore (I know VW has had issues and replaced many heatercores in vehicles), my girlfriend has a 2014 and they have replaced it twice free of charge. My newer 2015 is not covered!!! Seems like a crock of ___! VW says they will cover 50% curtiousy warranty. I think it would be more curtious if they paid the whole thing like they have in every VW from 2009 – 2014. It has the same damn heatercore as the full warrantied vehicles. I was going to purchase a new VW in couple years probably won’t now!!!!!
Very disappointed in the attitude of VW. The remote starter in my Atlas has only a 10 foot range. It is useless and VW seems not care enough to find a solution. Shame on you. I thought VW was a brand I could trust. Not so.
