Startups
Volkswagen was founded in 1937 and has since grown into one of the largest automobile companies in the world. We’ve created many iconic vehicles, from the Beetle and Campervan, to the Golf GTI and Scirocco. Our latest proud addition to the family is the cleverly compact Volkswagen up! – recently named the What Car? Car of the Year. Although very different, all these cars have one thing in common – that they are engineered to the very best of our ability whilst remaining fun to drive.
