The last model of the Santana was produced in 2012. Here is some relevant information: Introduction: The Santana (SANTANA) sedan is a brand vehicle produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. Starting from 1985, after more than 20 years of production history, the ordinary Santana sedan could be seen all over the country. Exterior: The Overcomer made some improvements based on the Santana 2000. In terms of appearance, the Overcomer basically inherited the mantle of its predecessor, the Santana 2000. To sum it up in one sentence: a complete transformation. The so-called complete transformation, the most proud part of this car is the improvement of the front: at first glance, one might think that the exterior modifications of the Overcomer are not significant.

I've driven old cars for many years, and the Santana is such a classic in the Chinese market. The last classic Santana was discontinued in 2013, specifically in January if I remember correctly. When the car was discontinued, many people rushed to buy the remaining stock because it was based on the old-generation design—durable, tough, and easy to repair. I've personally worked on many of these cars, and they handle rough mountain roads without a problem. After its discontinuation, Volkswagen introduced the new Santana. Although it still carries the Santana name, the design is completely different, using a new platform for better fuel efficiency. The old Santana had been in production since 1983, accompanying countless families for decades. Its discontinuation marked the end of an era, and later, the used models retained good resale value—truly something to cherish.
