In the past two years, with the relaxation of the mainland's three-child policy, the previously unnoticed MPV models have gradually ushered in their own "spring", and the three "heavyweight" players of Toyota Xena, Kia Kahua and Hyundai Kustu have been introduced in the past year.
In contrast, the entry-level MPV market with greater domestic demand rarely "patronizes" car companies, and consumers look itchy when looking at the abundant MPV models overseas, especially when they see this upcoming Toyota Sienta.
A few days ago, overseas media exposed a set of Toyota Sienta vehicle renderings. From the picture, it is not difficult to find that the new car is very similar to its own "big brother" Sai na in the overall shape, so the new Toyota Sienta is also called "small" Sai Na by netizens.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the front face of Toyota Sienta adopts a larger size grille, with the sharp LED headlight group on both sides and the design of the lower pressure cover, which adds a bit of sports atmosphere to the new car, and this design also refreshes people's inherent cognition of traditional MPV models.
Compared with the radical styling design of the front face, the side part looks "serious" a lot. The two-tone body layout, large petal wheels and overlapping waistline design add a bit of business to the new car. In contrast, the current Sienta is a bit petty.
In addition, the new Sienta will be based on Toyota's TNGA architecture, with dimensions of 4300/1695/1670mm, wheelbase of 2750mm, and will be available in a 2+3+2 seven-seat layout. It has to be said that such a seat layout is really rare for a small MPV with a length of less than 4.5 meters like the Sienta.
The overall tail shape is more square, of course, this is also a common problem of MPV, after all, for those MPV who want to create a large space, some things still need to be discarded.
The tail light group echoes the headlights, and it is connected to the lower surround of the vehicle through the black trim panel, and the exhaust layout adopts a hidden exhaust, which is also in line with the positioning of the MPV itself.
The new car in the interior of the change is not large, including the three-frame multi-function steering wheel, full LCD instrument and suspension of the central control screen and other designs have been used, such a performance is enough, but if it is placed in the domestic market environment may not be enough to see.
In addition to the second time, it was previously rumored on the Internet that the new Sienta would share the chassis architecture setting with Yaris, but due to the limitation of the spatial performance of the chassis, it was changed to the TNGA new generation GA-B chassis architecture specially developed by Toyota for small MPV. The chassis has a better rigidity and lightweight performance, and it is expected that the new car will be available in front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models for consumers to choose from.
Finally, there is the power system of the new car, and it is currently reported that the new car will be equipped with the same Toyota 1.5L hybrid system as Yaris, and the matching transmission system is the E-CVT transmission. The combined power of this powertrain is 116Ps, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is expected to be reduced compared with the current Sienta.
As a boutique car, the appearance part of Sienta is really good, and the interior will be a matter of opinion, after all, in today's Chinese people's demand for intelligence, the new car can only be regarded as enough in the performance of intelligence. Of course, these will be insignificant under the background of the reliability and practicality of Toyota models, after all, users who can choose this car as a daily travel tool are more for the reliable reputation and price of Toyota models.
Toyota's reputation naturally needless to say, in this way, can have an impact on the Sienta is only the price, according to the current new car data and size, the starting price of the new Sienta is expected to hover around 200,000, this price is also in line with the "trumpet Sena" call.
Judging from the current layout of Toyota's system in China, if this boutique car is introduced, then the era belonging to the Buick GL8 will become a "past tense".
