| The rear axle is of a longitudinal transverse arm torsion bar structure, or compound suspension structure, of which the specially designed transverse “V”-shaped sectional structure is VWAG’s patent technology. The compound suspension has a good elasticity and noticeably reduces the vehicle shock and increases the riding comfort. Besides, the compound independent suspension is easy to install or dismantle for its simple structure, and can thus enlarge the boot space. |

AYJ engine: Santana 3000 is equipped with a closed loop electronic multiple point sequential fuel injection engine. The engine adopts the latest cross scavenging technology that lowers the inlet temperature and increases the inlet volume and efficiency, and therefore maintains a stable inlet pressure and smooth power output thanks to its long arc inlet manifold and resonance mode. |
|
| The manual gear box is of the advanced three-conical-surface structure, and the effective friction area of the synchronizer is thus enlarged and its friction torque increased. The shift from the 1st gear to the 2nd gear becomes free and easy, reducing the shifting force between them by around 30%. The shifting is made smooth, reliable and without fail. |
 |
Intelligent automatic gear box: Advanced CAB-BUS technology is applied to the gear box with indefinite self-learning function. The gear shifting is computer-controlled and the shifting between the economy driving pattern and the sporty one can be easily achieved to meet the requirements of economy and low emission.。 |
|
| Santana 3000 is equipped with EDS (electronic differential lock). EDS is a functional extension of ABS. It prevents the driving wheels from slipping and improves the starting acceleration in bad driving conditions. The EDS function stops when the driving conditions become normal. Compared with ordinary cars, vehicles with EDS can make better use of road grip for a higher vehicle passage. |
 |
Major improvements have been made on the air conditioning system of Santana 3000 based on the users' opinions and suggestions. The previous fixed displacement is changed to the current variable displacement and the noise is greatly reduced. |
|
| As advanced 3-way catalytic converter is used on Santana 3000 after strict adaptation, and the vehicle emission can easily reach the EU II standard. What is especially worth mentioning is that, after an 80,000 km long-distance driving, the emission of the vehicle using 90# lead-free fuel is only 50% of the limit set by EU II. |
 |
The sensitivity and stability is closely associated with the vehicle’s safe driving and the driver’s comfort. Hydraulic power steering is applied to Santana 3000 together with an entirely new three-spoke steering wheel, thus ensuring an easy and free steering, as well as a high steering sensitivity and safety. |
|
| A muffler of compound structure with a capacity of both resistance and dissipation is used on the exhaust system. Made of high grade basalt fiber and steel wool, the muffler works most effectively. The 4.66” x 6” 3-way catalytic converter enables the vehicle emission to satisfy the EU II standard in an easy manner. |
