What is a VW car?
3 Answers
Volkswagen is the German word 'VolksWagenwerk', meaning 'car for the people', with the VW in the logo being the first letters of the full name. Here is some relevant information about Volkswagen: 1. Volkswagen (German: Volkswagen) is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's four largest automobile manufacturers. 'Volks' in German means 'people', and 'Wagen' means 'car', so the full name means 'people's car', often abbreviated as 'VW'. It is translated as 'Fusi' in Taiwan and 'Volkswagen' or 'Fushi' in Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China, meaning 'the people's car'. 2. In 2012, the entire automotive group produced and sold over 9.07 million vehicles, with the Volkswagen brand alone exceeding 5.74 million. On November 14, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced that Volkswagen (China) Sales Co., Ltd., FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. decided to recall some Volkswagen, Audi, and Skoda vehicles starting from November 25, 2013, totaling 640,309 vehicles (on the road). In October 2014, FAW-Volkswagen announced another recall of some new Sagitar and Beetle vehicles.
VW is the abbreviation for Volkswagen. I've been fascinated by cars since childhood, especially Volkswagen models. Volkswagen originates from Germany and is one of the largest automotive brands in Europe. Their classic cars like the Beetle and Golf GTI are truly charming. I've driven the VW Tiguan SUV, which offers smooth and reliable handling, excellent wind noise control on highways, and a no-frills yet practical interior. This brand is popular worldwide, particularly the Golf series—compact, fuel-efficient, and agile, making it ideal for city commuting. My friend bought a Tayron last year; its spacious SUV design is perfect for family trips, and maintenance costs are reasonable. I think VW's appeal lies in its balance of German engineering precision and everyday practicality. The newly launched electric ID.4 also keeps up with trends, offering strong tech features at a reasonable price, making it worth attention.
I often travel on business and have been driving Volkswagen cars for over a decade. I feel that VW represents Volkswagen, a reliable companion in daily life. Models like the Passat or Sagitar offer a stable driving experience with low fuel consumption, making long highway trips less tiring. My old Jetta still runs well to this day. VW offers great value for money in the mid-range car segment, holds its value well in the used car market, and maintenance parts are easy to find without hassle. As an average user, I particularly appreciate its durability—occasionally taking long trips to the suburbs, the car body feels solid and doesn’t bounce around. However, it’s important to stick to regular maintenance, like frequent oil changes, to avoid minor issues. I’ve also tried the new Lavida Pure Electric version—quiet and eco-friendly, perfect for families or office workers looking for a hassle-free, smooth overall experience.
