How many cylinders does the Santana have?
2 Answers
The Santana is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, arranged in an L-type configuration. The engine converts the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Taking the 2021 Santana Manual Trend Edition as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The 2021 Santana Manual Trend Edition is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112ps, a maximum power speed of 6100rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4000rpm.
I've been driving a Santana model for almost fifteen years. Most Santana engines are four-cylinder, like the new 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which offers stable power output and good fuel efficiency. There was a rare five-cylinder version in older models, but it was uncommon. The four-cylinder design is simple, reliable, and has a low failure rate, making it smooth for both city commuting and long highway trips. The acceleration isn't fast but is sufficient, with fuel consumption as low as around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintenance is easy—just regular oil and filter changes. If you're considering buying a used car, check the engine history to avoid modification mistakes. Don’t forget routine cooling system maintenance to keep the car durable.
