Where is the engine number located on the new Santana?

The engine number of the new Santana is located in two places: 1. On the plastic shell of the engine timing cover; 2. On the engine block. 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 equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power speed of 6100 rpm and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. It uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front suspension and a composite torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear suspension.
As an enthusiast who frequently tinkers with cars, I recall that the engine number of the new Santana is usually located on the engine block, right under the front hood. It's typically found on the front or upper area of the engine near the driver's side, with a serial number directly engraved on the metal block. To locate it, you'll need to open the hood and use a phone flashlight to inspect, as it might be obscured by oil or dust—remember to wipe it clean first. If you can't find it, you can refer to the owner's manual, which usually includes an illustrated guide. The engine number is crucial for vehicle registration, insurance, and maintenance, so make sure you don't mix it up. I always check this when performing routine maintenance at home.
