The Song San Summer, revealed in 2025 at the Shanghai Auto Show, is a retro-styled minivan from Chinese carmaker Song San Motors, which was celebrating its 20th anniversary. The design of the Summer is clearly inspired by the classic Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter from the 1950s, often called the VW Bus or Kombi. It even has a similar front end and rounded body lines, but with a more exaggerated, cartoon-like look.
One of the standout features of the Song San Summer is its eight-door layout, giving passengers easy access from both sides and making it feel more like a classic people-mover.
Underneath the nostalgic design is a modern plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system, combining a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor. Together, they produce 329 horsepower, giving the van more performance than you'd expect from something that looks so retro.
The Summer is one of several vintage-style vehicles Song San revealed at the show, but this one especially caught attention—not just from fans of classic vans, but likely from Volkswagen, due to how closely it mimics their iconic design.
