Volkswagen is a staple of British roads - popular, stylish and reliable - so it's no wonder it was the UK's best-selling car brand in 2021 and 2022. However, the brand's global popularity began much earlier with the original Volkswagen Beetle, one of the best-selling cars of the entire 20th century, with over 21.5 million vehicles sold. And while classic VW models like the Golf continue to dominate sales, newer editions like the all-electric ID. Buzz are also causing a stir. At the 2023 WhatCar? Awards, the Buzz was crowned both 'Large Electric Car of the Year' and overall 'Car of the Year'. Find out how much servicing costs for a Volkswagen in this guide.
