The VW Type 4s were mid-sized, larger cars and were manufactured as sedans and wagons; first produced in Germany around 1968 and were only imported to the US between 1971 and 1974. It evolved through two generations, the 411 (1968–72) and 412 series (1972–74).

This was an attempt to diversify the VW vehicle lineup which  didn’t sell that well. It ceased production after only 400,000 were manufactured. The Type 4 was the last mass-produced air-cooled rear-engine passenger car designed with a usable rear seat.
