This page lists 75 cars that start with G, running alphabetically from “Galant” to “GK1”. The list covers family hatchbacks, SUVs, luxury sedans, muscle cars, race cars and rare grand tourers from many countries. You can use it to identify a car you spotted on the road, compare models from one brand, or research your next purchase.

Cars are self-propelled road vehicles that carry people and cargo from place to place. Karl Benz built the first practical one in 1885, and the “G” names here range from the Volkswagen “Golf”, one of the best-selling cars ever, to the Ford “GT40”, which beat Ferrari at Le Mans.

Below you’ll find the table with the car, brand, type, production years and description for every model.

Car: The model name, so you can find a specific car quickly and see which names appear more than once, like the two “GTO” models.

Brand: The company that built the car, which helps you compare models from the same maker and see which brands use the letter G most.

Type: The body style or category, such as sedan, SUV, hot hatch or grand tourer, so you can find the kind of car you want.

Production years: The years the car was built, with “present” for models still on sale and separate ranges for names that returned later.

Description: A short summary of what makes each car notable, including its engines, history and what owners or critics liked about it.
