Which Automakers Own Which Car Brands?

Volkswagen Group

“Volkswagen” stands for “people’s car,” though it’s hard to believe that name today. The VW brand itself has blossomed into a full-line manufacturer all on its own. Their lineup ranges from the fuel-sipping XL1 to the Phaeton luxury sedan to commercial vehicles and trucks to just about everything in between.

But there’s far more to the Volkswagen Group than just this. Their family of brands includes Audi, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche. Then they own Spanish brand Seat (pronounced say-aht) and Skoda, which is Czech. Beyond all of this international flair VW also sells motorcycles with their Ducati division as well as heavy trucks and buses through their Scania and MAN branches. Talk about variety!
