The Santana GTS is Volkswagen Philippines​' entry into the sub-compact hatchback segment. It rides on the long-wheelbase version of VW Group's PQ25 platform. Its styling is unmistakably Volkswagen, this means the same neat crisp lines inside and out one would expect from the German brand. Safety features like ABS, dual SRS Airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all occupants, and ISOFIX seat anchors come as standard.

The Santana GTS is offered with a 1.5-liter gasoline mill which produces 108hp and 150Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic tranny.
