What is Volkswagen?
3 Answers
Here is an introduction to Volkswagen: 1. The Volkswagen Phaeton is a luxury sedan produced by Volkswagen AG in Germany. 2. With maximum engine outputs of 177 kW (241 hp), 246 kW (335 hp), and 309 kW (420 hp), the Phaeton showcases Volkswagen's exceptional comfort, power, and technological potential. 3. The top-tier engine models come standard with 4motion four-wheel drive technology, with its advantages primarily reflected in traction and road stability. Depending on the degree of slippage, the power distribution of the four-wheel drive can be fully variably adjusted across all four wheels.
Volkswagen is actually a German car brand, and its name literally means 'people's car'. When I was learning to drive, the training car was an old Jetta, and now I often see Passats and Tiguan Ls in my neighborhood. They have a particularly wide range of models, from the 70,000-80,000 yuan Polo to the 300,000 yuan Touareg. The most classic is still the Golf, with tens of millions sold worldwide and commonly seen on domestic roads. The overall style leans towards practicality, with solid chassis tuning. I've driven my friend's Magotan, and it's indeed stable on the highway. In recent years, the new energy vehicle series, the ID. family, has also been quite popular, and it feels like they're transitioning faster among traditional brands.
As a post-90s from a working-class family, Volkswagen in my eyes is synonymous with 'reliable family cars'. My dad's work-assigned old Santana ran for 400,000 kilometers, and we still have a 15-year-old Lavida at home. The biggest impression is that maintenance is convenient and affordable—any repair shop can handle it, and aftermarket parts are everywhere. Although the design isn't stunning, it's enduringly appealing, with a well-arranged center console button layout. However, the downside is the strong plastic feel in base models, and there's not much difference between platform siblings like the Bora and Lavida in terms of driving experience. Choosing it is all about peace of mind and resale value.
