What brand is motion?

[Colin]

Volkswagen motion is not a brand, but Volkswagen's four-wheel drive system, fully named 4motion. Volkswagen's 4motion four-wheel drive system is equipped on many models under Volkswagen, with the most famous being the performance hot hatch Golf R. Here is some extended information: System Composition: Volkswagen's 4motion system is a full-time four-wheel drive system that integrates many advanced technologies. This four-wheel drive system can freely distribute power based on the vehicle's driving conditions, theoretically allocating all power to a single wheel in extreme situations. This is the remarkable feature of 4motion. Coupler: This four-wheel drive system is equipped with a four-wheel drive coupler behind the central drive shaft, which is responsible for distributing the power transmitted to the rear wheels. Many current four-wheel drive systems operate on a similar principle. Volkswagen's 4motion system is a four-wheel drive system installed on transverse-engine front-wheel-drive vehicles. This type of four-wheel drive system takes power from the front axle differential, then transmits it to the rear axle via a central drive shaft, and finally distributes the power to the rear axle through the four-wheel drive coupler. Advantages: This four-wheel drive system is highly efficient and intelligent, capable of distributing power between the front and rear axles according to the vehicle's needs. If you see the 4motion badge on the rear of a Volkswagen model, it indicates that the model is equipped with the 4motion four-wheel drive system.

The name Motion has not actually been used as an independent vehicle brand, but rather as a product or technical name by other automakers. For example, Hyundai has the Hyundai Motion concept car, and Mitsubishi's Ralliart performance division has released the Motion series of tuning kits, including aerodynamic components and suspension upgrades. At car meets, I often hear tuning enthusiasts talk about these. Nowadays, some third-party accessory manufacturers also offer Motion Edition rear badges or carbon fiber trim pieces—small touches to add a sporty vibe to their cars. As for a full-fledged vehicle brand with the Motion badge, there really isn't one in the market at the moment.

As a car tech enthusiast who frequently hits the track, my understanding of 'Motion' leans more towards engineering terminology. It commonly appears in chassis system names, such as Porsche's Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Motion technology, which refers to the four-wheel steering function that can independently control the wheels. During a technical training session, the instructor mentioned that German automakers particularly like to use the term 'Motion' to highlight dynamic performance. Niche brands like Motion Auto available in the market are actually aftermarket customization shops offering personalized accessories, such as grille badges or sport seats, which are completely different from original equipment manufacturer brands.

Flip through any car magazine and you'll notice the term 'Motion' frequently appears in the names of limited special edition models. I recall Toyota North America released the Camry TRD Motion Edition, which added blacked-out wheels and a spoiler to the base model; Infiniti's Q Inspiration Motion concept followed a similar approach. A friend who works as an after-sales manager at a 4S store mentioned that many owners inquire about ordering standalone OEM Motion kits—these are essentially exterior appearance packages including front/rear bumpers and exhaust pipe trims. No mainstream automaker actually brands their vehicles solely as 'Motion'; it's currently a popular marketing tactic among manufacturers to use such English buzzwords in naming.

Ordinary consumers are most easily confused by the English badges on the rear trunk. Based on my years of experience in vehicle appraisal, many parallel import car dealers like to stick the word "Motion" on Middle East versions to indicate a sporty edition. Once, while helping a friend inspect a used car, I found an old Highlander with a "Motion" badge, which in reality just had a factory-installed sport front grille. There are some third-party tuning brands in the market called things like "AutoMotion" that specialize in custom steering wheels and pedals, but no official car brand actually uses "Motion." To confirm a vehicle's identity, the safest way is to check the manufacturer code in the 10th digit of the VIN.

Over the past twelve years of car modification, I've encountered many parts named 'Motion,' mostly from Japanese tuning brands like AutoExe that produce performance upgrades. For instance, the Motion Control full-car bushings for the Honda Fit reduce cornering body roll, or the Motion V damping-adjustable tie rods used on the Nissan GT-R. As for full vehicle brands, there was actually an early electric vehicle startup in Europe called Motion that produced a prototype, but it went bankrupt before mass production. Nowadays, if you search for 'Motion cars,' most of what comes up are imitation sport seat kits from small domestic manufacturers.
