Based on the ZIL-111 limousine, the ZIL-118 Yunost was developed in 1961,^[1] on the factory's own initiative. It was available in two versions, the microbus 118 and the ambulance 118A. Only 20 were initially built because of a lack of interest of government.^[2][3] The few built were solely to special order, with a number as high-capacity ambulances.^[4] An updated version appeared in 1970 in several versions: the ZIL-118K coach ZIL-118KS ambulance, both using the ZIL-508.10 V8 from ZIL trucks.^[4]

The ZIL-118 was further facelifted in the 1980s, becoming the ZIL-3207. Production ended in 1994, with total number built, of the ZIL-118K/KS and ZIL-3207, reaching only 86.
