Cabby Info - Interior Styles

Updated: 14-May-2026

info The interior code can be found on the car's build sheet sticker, which is on the crossbar in the trunk (if the car still has it).

info For many models, the cloth sport bucket seats were an optional upgrade over the standard bucket seats. Likewise, the cloth standard bucket seats were sometimes an optional "downgrade" if buyers did not want cloth sport bucket seats. Keep this in mind as you browse the various upholstery pages. All seats were built by Keiper-Recaro.

info Tap on each upholstery sample to open its details. Each interior has a thread rating, indicating its production popularity.

info Volkswagen refers to vinyl upholstery as "leatherette". This website uses "vinyl" so that it is clear what the material is.
