Variant models include the Model 175 Skylark, 175A Skylark, 175B Skylark, and 175C Skylark. 2106 Cessna 175s were produced during its four years of production. Designed to fill a niche between the Cessna 172 and faster Cessna 182, the engine of the 175 is a gear version of the O-300 used in the 172. The 175's engine is rated at 175 hp which is 30 hp more than the 172 engine. The plane with a package of optional equipment and overall paint was marketed as the Skylark, while the basic airplane with a partial paint scheme was marked as the 175.

The Cessna 175 Skylark had an all metal airframe, constructed of aluminum alloy. The 175 has tricycle landing gear with the main gear legs made of spring steel. The 175 also has a steerable nosewheel connected through an oleo strut used for shock absorption. With exterior skin sheets riveted to formers and longerons the fuselage is a semi-monocoque structure. The 175's strut-braced wings are constructed of exterior skin sheets riveted to spars and ribs.

The aircraft is equipped with a geared Continental GO-300 engine. This engine drives the propeller through a reducing gearbox. Several Cessna 175s flying today have been converted to larger-displacement direct-drive engines.
