Does the new Santana have one-touch power windows?
2 Answers
Volkswagen's new Santana does not come with one-touch power windows, but owners can install this feature themselves if needed. One-touch power windows refer to a system where the car's window glass can be fully raised or lowered with a single press of a button. Here's more relevant information: One-touch power window function: 1. With regular power windows, you need to hold the switch until the window reaches the desired position, then release the button to stop the movement. Cars equipped with one-touch power windows have a two-stage control switch - the first position works like regular power windows, while the second position allows the window to automatically open or close completely with a single press. 2. Currently, most mid-to-high-end models are equipped with one-touch power windows, primarily designed for convenience and to prevent drivers from being distracted while operating windows, thereby improving safety. One-touch power windows generally come with an anti-pinch feature to prevent potential injury risks.
As an owner of the new Santana, I can confirm from actual usage that it indeed features one-touch power windows, typically only on the driver's side. The operation is simple—just press the button once to fully open or close the window without holding it down. This is particularly convenient during commutes, like quickly ventilating at red lights or closing windows with one press to prevent getting wet in the rain. However, note that the passenger and rear doors might not have this feature, so it's best to test-drive and confirm the configuration when choosing a car. Additionally, one-touch closing can reduce distracted driving risks and enhance safety. It's advisable to check if the button operates smoothly to avoid jams affecting usage.
