Before 1984, the Volkswagen faced challenges in the Brazilian market, especially after the discontinuation of Passat, which already showed signs of aging.
The brand needed a new model that offered more Lux and sophistication to consumers, without losing the tradition and reliability of Volkswagen cars.
Welcome to an imaginative journey through the automotive landscape of 2025
With the arrival of the Santana in 1984, the brand finally achieved this goal.
O Santana emerged as the second generation of the Passat, but with a big difference:
your sedan body, which was much more appreciated by Brazilian consumers.
A Volkswagen was already aware of the evolution of the market and knew that preferences were changing.
In its 40-year history, the Santana has not only fulfilled its role as one of the most important models in the history of Volkswagen, but it also marked an era.
And, who knows, in the future, a new model of Volkswagen will be able to honor Santana's memory, bringing a new chapter to this story that will undoubtedly remain in the memory of many Brazilians.
