This page lists 46 cars that start with W, running alphabetically from “Wagon R” to “Wuling Bingo”. The list covers everything from tiny city cars and family minivans to luxury sedans, rugged SUVs and hand-built sports cars. Some models are still on sale today, while others disappeared decades ago. People use these cars for daily commuting, family trips, off-road driving, racing and work.
Cars are road vehicles that carry people and goods, usually powered by an engine or an electric motor. The “Willys MB” is a good example of how far a single model can reach, because this small wartime vehicle from the 1940s became the original Jeep used by Allied forces in World War II.
Below you’ll find the table with the car name, brand, type, production years and a short description for each entry.
