The VW Type 4 was a medium sized 2 or 4 door sedan or 2 door station wagon built by Volkswagen. It was produced between the 1969 and 1974 model years. It was larger than the VW Type 3 and had a more powerful engine. The Type 3 and Type 4 were the last of VW's air cooled models and preceeded the massively successful VW Golf.
The Type 4 introduced many firsts to the VW line of cars. These firsts included: monocoque chassis (unibody), MacPherson strut front suspension, rear suspension with coil springs and trailing wishbones, hydraulic clutch, and it was also VW's first 4 door sedan.
