This year's MPV market can be regarded as the hottest in recent years. In particular, most of the joint venture brands have begun to push new products, such as Kia Jawa, GAC Honda Odyssey, Dongfeng Honda Alishen, GAC Toyota Sai na and so on. How to choose a high-end home MPV among these cars? I believe that many people's answers must be the same as mine: if commercial, 400,000 or so must choose the Buick GL8; if the household, 400,000 budget or GAC Toyota's Sai na will be more all-round.
Admittedly, it is no accident that Xena will get a higher voice. Long before Xena was officially manufactured by GAC Toyota, Sai Na has been active in the domestic market under the name of "Senna". However, it has been introduced and sold by parallel imports before, and the price is slightly higher. Therefore, the domestic post-guidance price is more close to the people, and it will attract the attention of consumers. However, due to a variety of factors, the domestic version of the Syna did not sell well.
However, if you simply like the Sena car, you may wish to wait, because the "brother" of Sena is about to debut, that is, the FAW Toyota version of the "Xena" that has been rumored many times before. Recently, some netizens exposed a group of FAW Toyota's new MPV declaration charts, and according to the pictures, this so-called "new" model is actually a "replica" of Xena. However, at present, the Chinese name of this car has not yet been announced, and the English name is tentatively set as Granvia.
From the appearance point of view, people familiar with the MPV market can see at a glance that this is a Xena. But in fact, it is still different from Xena in some small details, but most people are not easy to see. In terms of appearance, FAW Toyota Granvia adopts the sports version of the American version of the Syna design, which is younger than the ordinary version, which can be seen from the large black mesh grille of the front face. As for who looks better than it and Sai Na, I think each has its own advantages, one is more business and one is more sporty, and the sport is indeed more suitable for young people.
In the tail, FAW Toyota Granvia is not too obviously different from Xena, the main difference is mainly in the bumper position below the tail. The Granvia features a black mesh trim that echoes the front of the car, and also wraps a circle of chrome strips at the bottom, which looks a little different. In terms of size, FAW Toyota Granvia is also similar to Xena, with a wheelbase of 3060mm. It is certainly no problem to meet daily use, and it is said that FAW Toyota Granvia will also launch a welfare version.
Conclusion: At the configuration level, we can basically refer to Xena. The biggest difference between the two should be the configuration distribution. In terms of power, FAW Toyota Granvia will also use Toyota's 2.5L hybrid system, matching the E-CVT gearbox. Under the lessons of Sai Na's previous car, if FAW Toyota Granvia does not have any routines, will there be a chance to sell well? Everyone is welcome to discuss in the comments section!
