Editing Rebadging (section)

===Luxury vehicles===
Badge engineering occurs in the [[luxury car|luxury]]-type market segments. An automobile manufacturer will use a model from its mainstream brand as a basis for a model under a premium marque by upgrading its features, technology, and/or styling. Along with visible cosmetic differences, premium models may also receive upgraded drivetrains.

An example of this is that [[Ford Motor Company]] marketed its mainstream [[Ford Fusion (Americas)|Ford Fusion]] mid-size sedan as the [[Lincoln MKZ]]; the [[Ford Expedition]] SUV is sold as the [[Lincoln Navigator]]. A more controversial example was the [[Toyota iQ#Aston Martin Cygnet|Aston Martin Cygnet]], a rebadged version of the [[Toyota iQ]] city car (intended to comply with EU emissions regulations). While fitted with model-specific trim and a luggage set, the Cygnet nearly tripled the price of the iQ.<ref name="Fingleton"/><ref>{{cite magazine|last=Meiners |first=Jens |date=December 2009|title=2011 Aston Martin Cygnet The only Aston with a CVT |url= http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2011-aston-martin-cygnet-official-photos-and-info |magazine=Car and Driver |access-date=6 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Estrada |first=Zac |date=10 January 2013 |title=The Aston Martin Cygnet Is Dead And Now We Want One |url= http://jalopnik.com/the-aston-martin-cygnet-is-dead-and-now-we-want-one-1433551341 |access-date=6 April 2015 |work=jalopnik}}</ref> Alternatively, [[VW Group]] under [[Ferdinand Piëch]] used the reverse of this in some circumstances, engineering the more luxurious model first and then remove features for models from less prestigious marques. Examples include the [[Lamborghini Gallardo]]/[[Audi R8]] and the [[Audi A4]]/[[Volkswagen Passat]].
