The Santana is available in 5 colors, namely Harmonious Gray, Lucky Gold, Ruyi Black, Peace White, and Kangning Blue. Taking the 2021 manual Fengshang version Santana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2603mm, fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters, and trunk capacity of 466 liters. The 2021 manual Fengshang version Santana features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a compound torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, maximum power of 82kW, and maximum torque of 145Nm.

I previously specialized in researching SAIC Volkswagen's color schemes. The currently available Santana now comes in only two colors: Auspicious Silver and Ruyi Black. The classic models are basically the silver and black duo. The black exudes a stable and business-like feel, while the silver is particularly resistant to dirt in daily use—light rain won’t even show the dust. However, it’s worth noting that older models used to come in white, so if you’re looking to buy a new white one, you’ll need to check the specific inventory. When choosing a car color, you should also consider the long-term maintenance costs—darker colors are more prone to noticeable color differences when touched up, while scratches on lighter colors are less obvious. Additionally, metallic paint is more expensive than standard paint but offers better resistance to aging, which is especially practical in humid southern regions.

Just helped a friend pick up a Santana, and the showroom cars were all in silver and black two-tone. The salesperson said that in recent years, the main promoted colors are Lucky Silver and Pure Black, and the white version has long been discontinued. However, I've seen older models in Moonlight White in the used car market, which has a classic pearlescent effect under sunlight. When it comes to color choices, there are considerations—darker cars absorb more heat in summer, requiring the AC to be set two degrees lower, while lighter-colored cars can be seven or eight degrees cooler. Metallic paint also offers better resistance to stone chips, so it's recommended for those who frequently drive on highways. If you come across a special edition paint, always check the color code in the maintenance manual before touching up.

After reviewing the latest configuration sheet, the Santana currently only offers two color options: Auspicious Silver and Ruyi Black. Black cars appear smaller but are more business-oriented, while silver provides a strong visual expansion effect and effectively hides scratches. The previous white option was called Elegant White, but it was gradually phased out after the upgrade of environmental policies. A reminder: for dark-colored cars, it's advisable to install a front sunshade, as the dashboard is prone to aging and cracking when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Body color also affects resale value, with mainstream colors having faster turnover in the used car market.
