Volkswagen is among the most popular car brands in Europe. They are the second best-selling automobile brand in Europe so far this century. A handful of models are the best-sellers for Volkswagen so far this century, but some are more popular than others. These three models have sold more cars than any other.
1.) Volkswagen Golf
The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car with a hatchback and is one of the most popular Volkswagen models. A wagon version of the Golf, called the Jetta, is also prevalent and has been on the market since 1978. The first generation of this model was released in 1974, and it has gone through 11 generations.
The first generation of the Volkswagen Golf was released in 1974 as a replacement for the iconic Beetle. It was an instant hit since it was fun to drive and had better fuel economy than previous models.
2.) Volkswagen Jetta
Also released in 1974, the Volkswagen Jetta was a small car that was the successor to the Beetle. It had an inline-four engine, one of the few cars sold with an inline-four engine in 1974. This car is still on the market and has undergone six generations.
The Volkswagen Jetta was on sale throughout Europe until 2018 but was only sold in Germany due to local regulations preventing it from being sold outside of Germany. However, these were replaced by American models that American customers much better received.
3.) Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen
The third Volkswagen car on this list is the Golf Sportwagen, a sporty version of the Golf. A sport version of almost any model was a popular release in Europe and the US back in the day, but for this one, it was a bit more special as it was based on one of the most iconic cars from Volkswagen in history.
The Golf Sportwagen was based on the original VW Golf Mk1. Many people have loved this car, the best-selling Volkswagen model, for years. The first generation was released in 1976, and, like all VW models, many different generations came after that.
These three models have been on the market for a very long time, so if you are looking for a car that you will have for a long time, you should consider purchasing one. If you have further inquiries about these vehicles, you can visit our dealership in Phoenix, Arizona.
