As one of the earliest models for Volkswagen to enter the country, Santana's popularity and popularity are very high. But until now, the existential sense of Santana in the current model seems to be not so strong, although the starting price of more than 80,000 is still relatively close to the people, but after all, the competitive pressure of the same level of products is much greater than before, and the choice of consumers is more. Not long ago, the rendering of the new generation of Volkswagen Santana was exposed, the new car may be officially unveiled in 2023, it is expected to be sold in overseas markets first, follow-up or then enter domestic production, so what changes have it? Let's look down
First of all, the appearance, we start from the front of the car to see, the front face of the new Santana is still relatively large, a bit of the eighth generation of golf feeling, or the two sides of the headlight group by a chrome decoration connected, below is the blackened intake grille, both sides also have fog lights and black trim panels as embellishments, I don't know if this upgrade headlight group will use LED light sources.
Then there is the body side, the overall shape is not much different from the current model, or more conservative, a parallel design of the through-waist line from the front fender through the two door handles connected to the rear, the wheel hub is also used multi-spoke shape, adding a richer sense of layering, the size of the new car is expected to be similar to the current model, the same as 4475mm * 1706mm * 1469mm, wheelbase 2603mm, belongs to the compact car.
Finally, the rear, the obvious difference is the taillights and the rear encirclement, the taillight modeling is like the current model of the set to the reverse, a bit of Skoda meaning, do not know what the Volkswagen designers will think, and then the rear surround on the basis of the original added a chrome decoration, so that it looks more advanced, and then with the small tail design on the trunk, the overall is not like tens of thousands of pieces, advanced a lot.
In the power part, the new generation of Volkswagen Santana will still be equipped with the current 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which is mated to a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. But it is worth mentioning that the new car may also provide a set of 1.5T turbocharged engines, if this is the case, it is more than a star and a half in terms of power performance, let's look forward to it.
Summary: Compared with the current model, the new generation of Volkswagen Santana in the picture has obviously improved in terms of sportiness and fashion atmosphere, and the appearance of the new model is definitely more acceptable to consumers. If the new car is introduced into the domestic market in the future, the price is still basically the same as the cash model, coupled with the brand influence, it will definitely still have a strong competitiveness. So do you think the new generation of Volkswagen Santana will become the first choice for cost-effective family cars? Say what you think.
