What does the base model of the 2021 Santana display?

The base model Volkswagen Santana comes with an onboard computer, and fuel consumption display is one of its most basic functions. The computer-calculated fuel consumption: is based on the total engine fuel consumption ÷ kilometers driven. When the vehicle is started and parked stationary, the computer's initial fuel consumption setting is 99.9L/100km. The longer the distance driven, the more accurate the average will be. The fuel consumption of the base model New Santana is directly displayed on the car's dashboard, visible through the digital readout on the instrument panel. Santana interior: features a simple and elegant style, with overall hard plastic base materials offering a standard tactile feel. There is no electronic dashboard, but the original mechanical instruments display data clearly and are easy to read. Each control knob and button is designed for practicality, with very reasonable positioning for easy operation.

I've driven the 2021 Santana base model, and its display system is quite simple but highly practical. The dashboard mainly features a large speedometer and a small tachometer, with clear and easy-to-read needles—just a quick glance on the highway and you know your speed. The fuel gauge, water temperature meter, and total mileage are displayed on a small screen. While driving, if the fuel is running low or the engine is overheating, warning lights like the yellow check engine light or the red water temperature light will immediately catch your attention. There are also other basic indicators, such as oil pressure warnings, handbrake reminders, and battery fault alerts. It doesn’t have a color touchscreen or navigation maps, so it lacks some advanced entertainment features. However, for daily commutes like going to work or shopping, the information provided is more than sufficient. If you're looking to save money, the base model’s display is no-frills and has low maintenance costs—just an occasional wipe-down of the dials is all it needs.

I've been using the base model Santana for almost a year, and the display design is very down-to-earth. After starting the car, the first thing I see is the speedometer. The numbers aren't high-definition, but they're prominent enough. The fuel gauge reminds me to refuel before the needle reaches the red line, avoiding the embarrassment of running out of gas midway. The water temperature gauge is especially important during traffic jams—if it overheats, I pull over as soon as the red light flashes. The warning light system includes ABS and airbag status, ensuring safe driving. The small screen also shows trip mileage, making it easy for me to calculate fuel consumption. The simple display doesn’t distract me with complex screens, which is perfect for someone like me who mainly drives around the city.

The base version of the 2021 Santana has a simpler display compared to the higher trim. The higher trim might feature a fully digital instrument cluster or a central control screen, while the base version only comes with traditional analog gauges: speed, RPM, fuel level, and water temperature. The warning lights are basic, such as the malfunction indicator light, oil pressure warning, and battery alert, with the total mileage displayed in a small window. It lacks a rearview camera interface or multifunctional options, which reduces costs and makes driving straightforward. Adding navigation would require extra expenses.
