Our People
We are Volkswagen
Volkswagen was founded with one enduring principle: great quality cars should be available to all. Our vehicles are a uniquely affordable luxury. Every aspect of our business pursues the same perfection that our engineers have championed for decades – and made accessible to all. Our philosophy is summarised by ‘premium for the people’ and every person who is part of Volkswagen contributes to it. There are four important qualities that we value in our people, who are the foundation of our ability to offer unmatched value.
