Which German automobile manufacturer produces the Volkswagen Golf?

The German automobile manufacturer that produces the Volkswagen Golf is Volkswagen.

The Golf is a compact car manufactured by Volkswagen, the core passenger-car brand of the Volkswagen Group. Production began in 1974, when the front-engine, front-wheel-drive Golf replaced the rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Volkswagen Beetle as the company’s modern small family car.

The model became one of Europe’s defining hatchbacks and has been sold through eight generations. Although most people associate it with the familiar hatchback body, the Golf name has also covered estate, convertible and performance versions such as the Golf GTI. In some markets, early generations were sold under names including Rabbit and Caribe.

Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are all German manufacturers, but none produces the Golf. Audi belongs to the same wider Volkswagen Group, which can cause confusion; the Golf remains a Volkswagen-branded model, not an Audi product.
