Performance

The automatic transmission automatically adapts to your driving style at any given time. It not only reduces strain on the engine and transmission in stop-start traffic, but also reduces stress on the driver.

Technology

Connectivity at your fingertips.

Whether you're after a better route to dodge the traffic, or just want to listen to your own music, the Santana got you covered. The available Infotainment system gives you access to all these features and more, with a brilliant 7" touchscreen display. (180 MPI AT S and SE only)

Safety

ABS

Anti-Lock Brake System

Skidding is one of the major causes of accidents. In the past, the only way to stop wheels locking and avoid skidding was to 'cadence brake'- applying and releasing the brake quickly to prevent prolonged wheel lock and maintain control of the car.

Thanks to ABS, we can now brake far more safely. Using advanced electronics, ABS detects when a wheel is about to lock - and automatically releases and reapplies the brakes to prevent a skid.

With ordinary brakes, if the front wheels lock, they will not follow the steered path, so no matter how hard you turn your steering wheel, nothing happens. That's when you lose control of your car. But ABS prevents the wheels from locking, so you can steer to safety.

Safety Cage

A lot goes in before you do.

To further enhance your safety, we include crumple zones at the front and rear of the shell. Crumple zones are designed to absorb impact energy during a collision so that most of the energy is dissipated across these zones, and not in your passenger compartment. The strong outer shell comes with front and rear crumple zones that help to absorb the impact of a crash, increasing the safety of occupants.

The occupant cell is the space in your car containing the driver and passengers. It forms a rigid safety cage and in contrast to the crumple zones of the car body, it is not easily deformed. It is designed to protect the survival space of occupants in accidents up to a certain severity of impact. We use measures such as crash tests to continually improve the safety of our occupant cells.

Airbags

Help to protect you in the event of an accident

Why do we need airbags? Because seat belts alone are not enough. In an accident, passengers can be thrown forward even when they're belted, increasing the risk of injuries. We include airbags in all our cars to cushion the impact of collisions and reduce the risk of injury. Along with the seat belts and ABS, the Santana is one of the safest cars in its class.

ISOFIX

Maximum protection for your children when travelling

Your child's safety is a priority - for us, as well as for you. That's why we use Isofix child seat fixings in all our cars.

Isofix is being adopted worldwide as a safer way to travel with your children. The Isofix child seat fixes directly into compatible fittings in your Volkswagen, creating a secure link. It's quick, simple and there's no need to use the adult seatbelts.
