Does Volkswagen have the Zhijun model?
2 Answers
Volkswagen has the Zhijun model. Introduction to Zhijun: Shanghai Volkswagen launched the upgraded version of the Santana - SantanaVista Zhijun. While inheriting the classic brand's durable, stable, and reliable performance qualities, SantanaVista Zhijun injects more contemporary elements into the brand connotation of 'True Friend with Strength' through a more dynamic exterior design. Advantages of Zhijun: SantanaVista Zhijun excellently embodies the traditional strengths of German cars in terms of power, handling, safety, and interior space. In terms of power, Shanghai Volkswagen carefully matched it with 1.8L and 2.0L engines, which not only deliver outstanding performance but also have the prominent advantage of being economical and fuel-efficient. In terms of handling, SantanaVista Zhijun inherits the characteristic firmness of German car chassis, offering solid stability and excellent safety performance, enabling precise control whether in urban areas, off-road, or even under extreme road conditions. As for the spacious and comfortable interior, this has always been a traditional advantage of the Santana series.
As a veteran driver with 20 years of experience, I can confidently say that Volkswagen does not currently have a new model called 'Zhijun'. However, this name reminds me of the Santana Zhijun produced by SAIC Volkswagen over a decade ago. It was a classic B-segment sedan known for its durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency, making it particularly suitable for long-distance driving. Unfortunately, it was discontinued around 2012. Volkswagen's current sedan lineup is completely different, with models like Lavida and Bora (with the letter L) being the mainstays. If you prefer the style of the old Zhijun, you might consider checking the used car market, but be sure to pay attention to the vehicle's condition, as these cars are now over ten years old.
