2 Answers
First, remove the screws under the front bumper, then open the front hood. Next, unplug the left and right fog light wiring harness connectors on the front bumper, and disconnect the right spray pipe joint of the front bumper. Finally, remove several screws on the upper part of the frame to safely detach the bumper. When disassembling, pay attention to the lights and wiring on the bumper—first disconnect the wires and lights before removing the bumper. Below is more information about the new Santana: 1. In terms of appearance, the new Santana features a family-style horizontal chrome grille connected to the headlights on both sides, extending the horizontal visual width. The embedded fog lights on the lower bumper are more three-dimensional, complemented by silver decorative accents. The body adopts the currently popular fastback design, with the forward-leaning body paired with a diving waistline, giving it a dynamic look. The rear design is relatively simple, with irregular taillights using LED light sources for high recognizability. 2. In terms of configuration, the new Santana adds RKA tire pressure monitoring across all models, with standard safety features including ESP body dynamic electronic stability system, HBA emergency brake assist system, and ASR traction control system. 3. For power, the new Santana is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The National V version has a maximum power of 81kW (110PS) and a peak torque of 150N·m, while the National VI version offers a maximum power of 82kW (111PS) and a peak torque of 145N·m, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've helped friends remove the front bumper of the new Santana several times. Just prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic pry bar. After opening the hood, first remove the vertical screws on the grille. Be extra careful when prying open the plastic clips inside the wheel arches. There are 6 screws on the lower guard plate that need to be removed, which are only visible when lying down. Don't forget the three connecting screws under the headlights. Finally, two people should work together to slowly pull out the bumper corners - you'll hear a snapping sound when the clips release. Handle everything gently without forceful pulling, as broken plastic clips are a hassle to replace. After removal, remember to store all screws in a sealed bag.
