The Volkswagen Santana is a sedan version of the Volkswagen Passat, first introduced in 1981, and also known in the Americas as the Quantum. In Europe the Santana name was dropped in 1986, with the model simply renamed the Passat.

During this time, production of the Santana began in China, with the model available as a sedan and station wagon, which continues today. Similar versions of the same model have remained in production in Brazil and Argentina, where during the early 1990s, the car was also sold as the Ford Versailles.
