Volkswagen Santana Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1981–1984) — First Generation
The first-generation Volkswagen Santana is a practical sedan built for straightforward daily use. This generation emphasizes durable, no-nonsense motoring rather than luxury or sporty extras.
Volkswagen Santana engine choices on this generation are gasoline units with a manual transmission. Selected examples include the 1.3 MT, 1.8 MT and 1.9 MT sedan setups, each with front-wheel drive. You get a simple powertrain and drivetrain for everyday use, not an exhaustive lineup.
