The Volkswagen name was first used in 1937 for the Type 1, which was later known as the Beetle. The Type 1 was designed to be an affordable, reliable car that could be owned and operated by the average person, making it a true "people's car".
The Volkswagen name has since been used for a variety of other car models, including the Golf, Passat, Jetta, and Tiguan. Today, Volkswagen is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, and the Volkswagen name is synonymous with quality, reliability, and innovation.
