Meticulous engineering, high-quality parts, and advanced technological features all contribute to high resale values, as well as an enduring popularity on British roads. As noted in automotive forums, German cars tend to be on the cutting edge when it comes to refinement and technology. This observation reflects the priority these manufacturers place on the driving experience, often at the expense of simplicity and lower production costs.
What are the big 3 German car brands?
The German trio Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are often referred to as Germany’s Big Three, although the actual major automobile manufacturers are the Volkswagen Group (majority owner of Audi AG), the Mercedes-Benz Group, and BMW. Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, Audi produces vehicles in nine production facilities worldwide.Porsche and Volkswagen merged in 2011.
