Volkswagen Santana is a model aimed at the Chinese car market. At first it was positioned as an alternative to the medium-sized Passat, and in recent years a compact sedan has been produced under this name, similar in size to the well-known Polo. Production of the four-door will be discontinued in 2022. But the car that arrived in the Russian Federation under the “gray” scheme is offered as a new one – naturally, it comes from the stock of the dealer.
“Santana” had three modifications with engines of 90, 112 and 131 horsepower. with., which was paired with a five-speed “mechanics” and a six-band “automatic”. The car offered for sale by a Voronezh dealer is equipped with a junior 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and automatic transmission. The mileage, according to an advertisement found by our colleagues from Rossiyskaya Gazeta, is 35 kilometers.
As for the price, they asked 2,450,000 rubles for a sedan. And this is even strange: why put such a price on a car if you can still find the Kaluga Polo in the showrooms of dealers, which costs from 1,800,000 rubles? Especially considering that the latter is not only cheaper in terms of price, but also in terms of further maintenance: an official guarantee (albeit with possible difficulties), no problems with spare parts and professionals who know these machines very well.
