Volkswagen is currently a German brand, and its automotive brands include Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, etc. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, minimum ground clearance 118mm, and fuel tank capacity 56L. The 2020 Audi A4L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 270Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It adopts front and rear suspension types of five-link independent suspension.

Volkswagen, this brand, its home is absolutely Germany. I remember when I was in college studying automotive history, the teacher said it originated in the 1930s, founded by Hitler's order to create cars that ordinary people could afford, hence the name Volkswagen, meaning 'the people's car.' After the war, the Beetle made Volkswagen an instant hit, and its headquarters have always been rooted in Wolfsburg, never moving. Today, it's a global giant, with subsidiaries like Audi and Porsche, and it even has a joint venture in China called SAIC Volkswagen, but that's just a production site—the parent company remains in Germany. I often follow automotive news, and Volkswagen's ID series of electric vehicles is very popular, but its roots haven't changed—it's still German at heart, reflecting their rigorous engineering tradition. In terms of safety and durability, German-made cars have a strong reputation, like their high crash test scores. In short, no matter how globalized the market becomes, Volkswagen's essence remains a German brand, as solid as a rock.

As an ordinary car owner, I can talk about Volkswagen's ownership. I bought a Passat a few years ago and did a lot of research at the time to confirm that Volkswagen's headquarters is in Germany, with Wolfsburg being its home base. When buying a car, the brand's country of origin was quite important because German cars are known for their quality and reliability, unlike some brands that always have minor issues. Volkswagen's history started during the Nazi era, and it gained global fame after producing the Beetle. Now, it also leads the electric vehicle market. However, it hasn't been acquired by any other country. Although there are joint ventures in China for production, ownership belongs to the German parent company. Driving a Volkswagen, I feel the handling is stable, and there's a strong sense of safety on the highway, all thanks to the precision craftsmanship of German manufacturing. In terms of brand culture, Volkswagen represents the core of the European automotive industry and is trustworthy.

From a cultural perspective, Volkswagen is a symbol of Germany. It was born in Germany in 1937, initiated by the government with the goal of making cars accessible to the masses. After the war, the Beetle helped Germany's economic recovery and became a global icon. Today, Volkswagen Group's headquarters are in Wolfsburg, employing German workers, and its design center is also located there. Its influence extends beyond automobiles, representing German engineering spirit. I remember visiting an exhibition where Volkswagen's technological innovations, such as laser welding, raised vehicle safety standards. Even in the electric vehicle era, Volkswagen's ID.3 leads in the European market, rooted in Germany. Over the years, Volkswagen has maintained its local R&D, never changing its origins. As an automotive enthusiast, I believe this is a crucial part of the brand's DNA.
