Although Toyota will make a big move in 2022 and announce the blueprint for future electric vehicle products, the launch of the overhaul Sienta and Prius is also highly anticipated by fans. According to the latest news from the Japanese media, the current Sienta and Prius have stopped taking orders in Japan, and the overhaul of Sienta should be earlier than the previous preview of the August debut, and will return to the debut on July 4, and the overhaul Prius is also expected to be launched this summer. One of the highlights of both models is the replacement of the new petro-electric system for better fuel consumption.
In the past, the known major overhaul of the Sienta will use the TNGA-B platform, and the length and width of the car is expected to be 4300*1695*1670mm, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. Compared with the current version, the length has been increased by 40mm, and the wheelbase has been increased by 20mm to bring more space inside.
In the power unit segment, in addition to the 1.5-liter naturally inlet petrol engine, the new 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engine with the Hybrid system is also expected to become the new power option.
As for the styling design, there is no clear message or photo to confirm, some foreign media said that they will use the design language of the Japanese yaris, and there are also rumors that they may go to the retro style. The Japanese media also added that the current Sienta is expected to digest all orders in mid-June to welcome the launch of a major overhaul in early July.
The overhaul Prius has previously been reported to be changed to a sport hatchback model, the height of the car will be reduced to 1415mm, while lengthening the wheelbase and shortening the length, taking into account the riding space and sports style. In terms of power units, in addition to the known new 1.8-liter Hybrid system, will the pure electric version be launched at the same time, ushering in the first BEV model in the history of the Prius family? It became another focus of Prius' overhaul this summer.
