The new Santana typically comes equipped with Volkswagen's 1.5-liter naturally aspirated EA211 engine. I've used this engine and found it quite reliable. It features an all-aluminum design, making it lightweight, with horsepower around 110. It delivers smooth daily driving and crisp acceleration. Volkswagen chose it primarily for its fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. Paired with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission, urban fuel consumption can be kept between 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more economical on highways. For my daily commute, the power is more than sufficient, with no struggle during overtaking and minimal noise, making it especially suitable for someone like me who prefers simplicity and practicality. The engine design complies with the China VI emission standards, is less prone to issues, and has long maintenance intervals—requiring only a check every 10,000 kilometers, saving both money and hassle. If you're curious to learn more, keep an eye on Volkswagen's technical updates; they often highlight this engine's durability and energy efficiency. In summary, the new Santana's engine choice strikes a good balance between performance and cost, making it a dependable companion.
