Santana Motors has officially presented the Santana Cajal, a new all-terrain vehicle joining the brand's lineup. This model aims to pay tribute to emblematic Spanish figures, following the company's tradition. The chosen name, Cajal, honors the renowned scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
The Santana Cajal is the second vehicle in the brand's new phase, which began with its market return in late 2025 with the Santana 400 pick-up. That model continued the brand's historical numbering, succeeding the Santana 350, the last vehicle launched before the company ceased operations in 2011.
This new all-terrain vehicle will allow Santana Motors to compete in the SUV segment with permanent 4WD. The vehicle measures 4.7 meters in length, 1.9 meters in width, and 1.9 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, offering space for five occupants and comprehensive standard equipment.
The brand highlights that the Santana Cajal has been designed to "combine authentic off-road capabilities with a high level of comfort," suitable for work in rural environments, daily use, or nature getaways.
The new model is built on a multi-technology platform allowing for various powertrain options. Its commercialization is scheduled for the second half of the year, with diesel and gasoline versions, both featuring an automatic transmission and permanent 4WD from the entry-level trim. Later, an extended-range electric (REEV) version will be added.
The official presentation of the Santana Cajal will take place in Linares (Jaén) during July, at which time more details about this launch will be revealed.
