The phylogeny resolved the most true brachiosaurids to date, although several potential brachiosaurids were instead determined to belong to Somphospondyli ("Paluxysaurus", "Sauroposeidon" and "Qiaowanlong"). However, D'Emic was tentative in considering "Europasaurus" to be a confirmed brachiosaurid. While there was strong support in the phylogeny for its placement, "Europasaurus", one of few basal macronarians with a skull, lacks multiple bones that display characteristic features of the group, such as caudal vertebrae. The cladogram below on the left illustrates the phylogenetic results of D'Emic (2012), with Euhelopodidae and Titanosauria collapsed. A later analysis on titanosauriformes agreed with D'Emic (2012) in the placement of "Europasaurus". It formed a polytomy with "Brachiosaurus" and the "French "Bothriospondylus"" (named "Vouivria") as the basalmost brachiosaurids. Next most derived in the clade was "Lusotitan", with "Giraffatitan", "Abydosaurus", "Cedarosaurus" and "Venenosaurus" forming a more derived clade of brachiosaurids. The "twisted" teeth of "Europasaurus" were found to be one of the unique features of Brachiosauridae, which could mean a confident referral of isolated sauropod teeth to the clade. A further phylogenetic analysis was performed on Brachiosauridae, based on that of D'Emic (2012). This phylogeny, conducted by D'Emic "et al." (2016), resolved a very similar placement of "Europasaurus" within Brachiosauridae, although "Sonorasaurus" was placed in a clade with "Giraffatitan", and "Lusotitan" was placed in a polytomy with "Abydosaurus" and "Cedarosaurus". The remaining tree was the same as in D'Emic (2012), although "Brachiosaurus" was collapsed into a polytomy with more derived brachiosaurids. Another phylogeny, Mannion "et al." (2017) found similar results to D'Emic (2012) and D'Emic "et al." (2016). "Europasaurus" was the basalmost brachiosaurid, with the "French Bothriospondylus", or "Vouivria", as the next most basal brachiosaurid.
