It’s long been said that German engineering has been the catalyst behind German car values staying high in the competitive world of automobiles. With that attention to high quality, speed and performance, German brands are a status symbol in the U.S. and easily a luxury vehicle. In Germany, interestingly enough, your taxi driver is likely to drive a Mercedes S-class. German brands are much more common and not at all exclusive to the wealthy.
It starts with Mercedes Benz…
Is it any wonder that Mercedes-Benz has unseated Toyota and BMW to become the world’s most valuable automobile brand? Increased sales numbers boosted Mercedes-Benz up to this number one position. The Mercedes-Benz has long been associated with comfort and the Mercedes E class is no exception. Starting price for the E43 is $72,595.
BMW takes third
Perhaps the most accessible German luxury vehicle, is BMW. Earning third in the race for the world’s most valuable automobile brand, BMW boasts a brand value of $41.8 billion. It’s also worth noting that the BMW brand revolves around a mission statement of providing premium products and services. BMW is looking at an even better year with their M-series. Take a look at what the M’s offer.
Despite Dieselgate, Volkswagen takes fourth
It doesn’t end with BMW, the more affordable Volkswagen brings up the number 4 position for world’s most valuable automobile brand. Amazing considering the 2016 drop they sustained during “Dieselgate”. VW enters the finish line with a brand value of $21,014 billion dollars. The Volkswagen brand shot up 32% last year! Amazing growth in light of their issues.
