The Volkswagen Santana is a nameplate that Volkswagen has used for various sedans and station wagons since 1983. The first generation is based on the second-generation Passat (B2) and was introduced in 1981, while production started in 1983 for China. Its engine range resembled the Passat's, with 1.3, 1.6 and 1.8 litre inline-four petrol engines and a top 1.9 litre straight-five petrol engine that was upgraded to 2.0 litres in 1984, and diesels were also offered in Europe. The car carried other names in other markets, including Corsar in Mexico and Carat in Argentina, while in Brazil it was the Santana and the Passat Variant B2 wagon was sold as the Quantum. European test production ended in 1988, Latin American production continued until 2006, and Chinese production of the three box sedan continued until January 2013.
