Globalization is also moving the world of engines. Few brands strictly adhere to their native lumps. It has not been true for a long time that Škoda is Czech, Audi German, Fiat Italian and so on. See where cars sold on the Czech market are made.

Despite the general awareness of sharing development costs, production capacities and merging brands into concerns or alliances, motorists like to shuffle bearded clichés about German precision, Italian fuss, Swedish durability and Japanese reliability. But as you will read further, such Audi Q3s are made in Hungary, most BMW SUVs come from America, half of French cars are assembled in Spain, while Spanish Seat can easily be from the Czech Republic, Fiat are Polish, Serbian or Turkish and Asian brands in droves. produce across Europe.
Only a handful of brands adhere strictly to their lumps when making cars. Alfa Romeo manufactures the Giulietta hatchback, Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV at home in Cassino, Italy. Exclusive Ferrari and Lamborghini cars are also produced at home in Italy without exception.

Patriots and externs
The island nobility of Bentley and Rolls-Royce are of British origin. Although they work closely with the parent German corporations (Volkswagen and BMW, respectively) during development and do not want to import engines or welded bodies from continental Europe, they have production plants exclusively at home in England.
Thirdly, two Japanese: all Lexus and Subaru models sold in the Czech Republic are imported from the land of the rising sun. However, both carmakers have plants outside Japan, but they produce cars for non-European markets.
Sometimes even a model of the carmaker itself does not fit into any of its own factories, so it asks an external company for help. A typical example is Magna Steyr from Graz, Austria. It has always produced the off-road legend Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and this also applies in the current, new generation.
The sports twins BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra or Jaguary E-Pace and electric I-Pace also leave the same gate. Previously, Magna produced Peugeot RCZ, Saab 9-3 Cabriolet, Mini Countryman and Paceman, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Voyager and 300 C, Mercedes M-Class, BMW X3, luxury sedan Aston Martin Rapide and many other cars.
