Which Volkswagen models have a rear flip emblem?
3 Answers
Volkswagen models such as the Volkswagen Magotan, Volkswagen CC, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen Beetle feature a rear flip emblem. Relevant information about Volkswagen's brand culture is as follows: 1. Brand Logo: Volkswagen (German: Volks-Wagenwerk), meaning 'the people's car,' has undergone several changes in its logo history. The VW in the logo stands for the first letters of its full name. The logo resembles three 'V's formed by the middle and index fingers, symbolizing the company and its products' victory. 2. Brand Groups: The group's passenger car business is divided into two major brands. Under the group, Audi and Volkswagen independently manage their brand groups and are responsible for generating profits. Each brand has its own logo, operates autonomously, and offers a range of products from ultra-economy compact cars (with a fuel consumption rate of only 3 liters/100 km) to luxury sedans. The Volkswagen brand group includes 8 brands: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Scania, and MAN.
I've driven many Volkswagen models, and my favorite is the Phaeton's rear-flipping emblem design. The emblem features the Volkswagen logo, looking ordinary when parked on the roadside. However, when the trunk opens, it automatically flips to reveal the built-in rearview camera. This design is especially convenient during car washes, as the flipping prevents water from splashing onto the camera lens, avoiding blurry images. Although the Phaeton has been discontinued, the current Touareg model has inherited this feature, making the rearview camera more practical when the trunk is opened. I think this detail exemplifies luxury—Volkswagen has put real effort into its high-end models, reducing maintenance hassles while enhancing the car's technological appeal.
As a car owner, I'm deeply impressed by Volkswagen's rear flip emblem, especially on the Touareg. The emblem normally faces outward, but when the trunk is opened, it flips to the reverse side, directly revealing the camera. The most immediate benefit is that the camera is less prone to dust accumulation or impact damage, extending its lifespan. During my road trips with it, I've used this feature multiple times—once the emblem flips, the rearview image becomes instantly clear, making things much easier. The Touareg also incorporates some smart elements, like the emblem flipping to activate the rear camera, a design that's both practical and stylish, far superior to cars with ordinary fixed emblems.
