Volkswagen 181 Specs and Generations

The Volkswagen 181 is an unmistakable open utility car built on simple air-cooled mechanicals, flat panels and a folding soft top, rewarding buyers who know exactly which version they are looking at.

Volkswagen 181 Generations

Volkswagen 181 generations are few in number, with the First Generation representing the model here. Body styles centre on the Cabrio: an open four-seat layout with a fold-down top and removable doors. Equipment and market specification shifted during production, so check the exact year and version rather than assuming every car matches.

Volkswagen 181 Specifications

Volkswagen 181 specifications follow the car's utilitarian brief, with gasoline power, a light body and generous ground clearance for rough going. Powertrain details, dimensions and equipment belong to a particular generation and version, so read the specs attached to the individual car instead of treating one set of figures as universal.
