That is, not a utility/commercial truck, and yet not a Deluxe model with all the bells and whistles of luxury and convenience. usually, a Kombi has windows along the side, seats, and some side paneling. Kombis also had fibreboard overhead instead of a headliner.

Wolfsburg Editions are models with a higher level of trim, and are probably intended to stimulate sales late in the model year.

(It's believed that the Westy Weekender only came as a Wolfsburg Edition.)
