Reading the figures

The 1,797 dealerships are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by federal state — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded 23 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen in Germany

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many dealerships does Volkswagen have in Germany?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 1,797 Volkswagen dealerships in Germany, across 16 federal states. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Germany does Volkswagen reach?

67.2 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Volkswagen, and 92.4 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Volkswagen denser in Germany or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Volkswagen has 2.15 dealerships in Germany against 0.26 in France — a density 723 % higher. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
