The Volkswagens sold in China are built by two companies, and one of them is Chinese. That arrangement started in 1983 as a condition of entry, and it has since produced badges that exist nowhere else: Jetta, Wuling, and AUDI in block capitals with no rings. Who holds which half, which brands the ventures invented for themselves, and which of the old partnerships have quietly ended.
Most European badges trace back to about five mega-groups - Volkswagen, Stellantis, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Renault. But several beloved European brands are now owned abroad, in China, India and the UAE, and a few Chinese and joint-venture names now sell under European flags. Here is who owns what in 2026.
Audi AG is a German automobile manufacturer founded in 1909 and headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. Part of the Volkswagen Group since 1966, Audi produces premium vehicles across saloon, estate, SUV, coupé, and electric segments under the four-ring badge.
In China, Audi operates through two joint ventures: the long-established FAW-Volkswagen partnership and the newer SAIC-Volkswagen collaboration, which is developing new electric models specifically for the Chinese market under the ADP platform.
