Is it true that Santana is going to stop production? SAIC Volkswagen responded with what it said in full

Many post-80s and post-90s impressions of cars mostly start from a "Santana".

However, recently a news about the 38-year-old "elderly" SAIC Volkswagen Santana model will be officially discontinued has aroused the attention of netizens.

According to reports, salespeople said that the 2021 Santana currently does not have a current car, but it can still be booked, and the discount is very large.

Industry insiders said that Santana fuel consumption is not up to standard, according to the current double point policy, each Santana probably produces about 0.4 points, every production of Santana, SAIC Volkswagen will have to pay a fine of 2,000 yuan or so, but also bring cost burden to the enterprise.

Is Santana really going to stop production? In this regard, SAIC Volkswagen relevant sources said that Santana has not officially stopped production, and recently due to insufficient supply of parts and other issues, Santana's production capacity has been temporarily arranged to other models on the same platform.

"Our current plan is to suspend the production of Santana models from next year", "the suspension does not mean abandonment, but the need for upgrading". The relevant person in charge of SAIC Volkswagen Yizheng Factory told the media.

It is understood that in the future, new cars will be designed to reduce overall fuel consumption, and will provide several power options, which can be switched to hybrid or pure electric versions at any time.

Although SAIC Volkswagen did not explicitly express the news of the suspension of production, the santana that was once there, in this era of the rise of new energy, is also time to leave us.
