VW VOLKSWAGEN SENDA [1993] 1/43 Scale Diecasr IXO Salvat

Description: VOLKSWAGEN SENDA (1993) From the arrival of the Gol to the Volkswagen Argentina offer, the Gacel model was gradually replaced by its renamed Senda counterpart. Originally the Senda was the least equipped version of the Gacel, later being the only name for the brand's saloon car, derived from the Brazilian Gol. The Senda was the most austere and simple sedan, also the cheapest on the Argentine market in the first half of the 90s. The German brand produced the Gacel locally, but it had not yet reached the historic sales levels of the discontinued VW 1500. To try to get away from the poor commercial performance of the Gacel, VW changed the name and positioned the less equipped versions of it in a way to make them more convenient in terms of their price/product ratio. The unusual strategy of changing the name of a well-known and existing model paid off, as the Senda quickly became one of the most successful models on the market. A market that did not have many alternatives in that niche. It continued to share the same virtues and defects of the Gacel. His lines were not modern, they were quickly going out of fashion. Its interior space and ergonomics were not the best, and access to its rear seats was not very easy either, since the car had been conceived as a two-door in Brazil, and the adaptation to four was done in Argentina without major modifications to the body panels and much less the wheelbase. On the other hand, without a doubt the best thing about the car was its reliable and very robust mechanics. Its sales success was mainly among the young public and those who were accessing their first zero kilometer motorization. Its equipment was basic, but could be optionally complemented. Its rivals in its category were mainly the Fiat Duna and Renault 9, against which the Senda had a decent sales performance. In 1993 precisely, the VW AP 1600 engine, which equipped the Senda, received an update that brought its original 76 HP to 83. This gave it greater sportiness, which added to the configuration of its suspensions made it more sporty. than Duna or Renault 9, with a more familiar inclination. A 54CV Diesel was also available.
