Facts about the model

Året innan hade den ovala bakrutan haft premiär och ytterligare ett år tidigare hade dörrarna fått ventilationsrutor. Årets stora nyhet som kom hösten 1953 som årsmodell -54 var att motorn växt till 30 hk och 1 192 cc. Nytt var också startknappen som nu satt alldeles vid tändningslåset.
Samtidigt som Volkswagen under 1950-talet arbetade hårt för att förbättra kvaliteten jobbade man också vidare med komforten. Liksom tidigare gjorde man dock ingen stor sak av sina förbättringar som gjordes löpande i produktionen.
När Teknikens Värld testade en Volkswagen inför sommaren 1953 fick den nya växellådan beröm och det var ingen tvekan om att synkroniseringen på tvåan, trean och fyran var efterlängtade. Samma sak gällde 15-tumshjulen. De nya hjulen ihop med de nya stötdämparna gjorde den märkbart behagligare att åka i.
