Used Volkswagen Spares Johannesburg

History Of Volkswagen

Volkswagen, meaning “people’s car”, is a German car manufacturer that was created on 28 May 1937 by the German Labour-Front. It is most commonly referred to by the shortened version of their name VW. For the past three years, from 2016 till now, the Volkswagen Group has ranked first in worldwide sales.

For South Africa, however, Volkswagen only became a reality 14 years later, when at the end of August 1951, the first VW Beetle was produced in a small town in the Eastern Cape called Uitenhage. Today, the VW Polo Vivo is the top selling passenger car in South Africa, with over 7 000 sales between January and March 2018.

Although the VW Beetle and the Golf might be the first cars that comes to mind when thinking of the vehicle giant, there are many different models available in South Africa. There are other familiar models such as the Polo and Polo G.T.I, Golf & Golf GTI, Jetta, the Beetle, Touran and the new Up!, which are small family or city cars. They also have a range of crossover SUVs such as the Tiguan and Touareg. This doesn’t even cover the multitude of models that are not yet available in South Africa such as the Phideon as well as Fox, and Lamando.
