Pusang is the abbreviated name for the ordinary Santana. Currently, the Santana is divided into two types: the ordinary Santana and the Santana Zhijun. Below is the relevant introduction: The previous series also included the Santana 2000 and Santana 3000, which have now been discontinued.

In October 2012, Shanghai Volkswagen announced the discontinuation of the old version of the Santana and released a "Goodbye, Santana" advertisement, declaring to the world that the old version of the Santana would become a classic of the past.
The earliest batch of domestically produced Santanas was assembled in Shanghai in 1983. At that time, there were very few sedans on the road, so people called this boxy sedan the 'Ordinary Santana,' or 'Pu Sang' for short. It looked different from the later Santana 2000 and 3000 models, with its classic square headlights and body. Once, I heard an old driver say that back then, only the 'ten-thousand-yuan households' (a term for the wealthy at the time) could afford a Pu Sang, which cost over 200,000 yuan in the 1990s. Nowadays, when you occasionally spot an old Pu Sang on the street, many have already clocked over 300,000 kilometers, and the engine still hums along—truly a testament to its durability.
