The new Seina breaks the traditional rhythm of facelift, closely follows the needs of Chinese users, deepens local research and development, brings the world's best Seina to the Chinese market, and realizes three hard-core innovations: safety innovation, equipped with E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, which greatly improves handling stability and safety; comfort innovation, equipped with the same integrated airline seat as Alpha, allowing the second row to enjoy first-class privileges, adding double-layer soundproof glass in the rear row, and optimizing the interior texture; intelligent innovation, equipped with the mainstream 8155 chip, running more smoothly, using Huawei's intelligent voice assistant, stronger voice interaction ability, and can realize seamless connection between people, vehicles and homes。
Safety upgrade: Equipped with E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive, the whole family can travel more securely
The 2024 Sena is equipped with the E-FOUR electronic all-wheel drive system, which greatly improves handling stability and safety. E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive adopts the design of dual drive motors on the front and rear axles, which can intelligently achieve a wide range of torque distribution from 100:0 to 20:80, flexibly distribute the power of the front and rear wheels, and easily cope with various road conditions.
The all-wheel drive system improves four-wheel grip at high speeds for more agile cornering and a more stable stance, improves climbing force and reduces slippage at the start of ramps, and provides more stable driving performance in rain and snow or slippery roads.
In terms of active safety, the 2024 Saina is equipped with the T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system as standard, and the PVM panoramic monitoring system has been upgraded, adding a 3D panoramic car model and a 2D left and right view, which makes the display more intuitive and clear, covering the surroundings of the vehicle in an all-round way, and directly hitting the pain points of driving and parking on narrow road sections.
In terms of passive safety, the high-rigidity GOA body of Sena is cast with strict standards to achieve ultimate safety, with 41% of the body made of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, and 19% of hot-stamped steel with a strength of more than 1000 megapascals.
In the safety performance test of the China Insurance Research Institute, whether it is the safety of members in the car, the safety of pedestrians outside the vehicle, or the safety of vehicle assistance, each sub-test has received the highest evaluation. The driver's 25% frontal offset collision received a zero defect evaluation, the door and B-pillar structure were intact after the side impact, the safety buffer space after the impact reached 24.5 cm, and the roof strength could withstand 5.36 times the weight higher than itself, greatly reducing the impact on the occupants in the car.
In addition, the distance between the third row and the rear window is as long as 61 cm, ranking first among mainstream MPVs, effectively reducing the damage caused by tail collisions.
Upgrade in comfort: Enjoy first-class comfort with an integrated airline seat
This time, the facelift of the Sena focuses on strengthening the interior texture and sense of class.
The 2024 Saina is equipped with the same integrated airline seat as Alpha, with an 8-layer composite structure and selected high-grade Bavarian leather, which is soft and more snug and fitting. Enjoy a "zero-gravity" lying position at any time in an airline seat, with easy legroom by adjusting the rails. Even with airline seats, the width of the second-row center tunnel is still 22.5 cm, which is the widest in its class.
In addition to the electric adjustment of the backrest and leg rests, the seat is also equipped with 3 levels of ventilation and heating, 16 massage contacts, and a full sense of relaxation. The seat also integrates 6 convenient and user-friendly designs, including mobile phone slots, charging ports, small tables, adjustment buttons, etc., which are convenient for users to place things at hand and adjust them at will.
The 2024 Saina uses a more delicate leather wrap under the center console, door panel armrests, leg contact parts and other areas, with a coverage rate of up to 85%, and a better touch and texture.
In order to achieve better vehicle quietness, the 2024 Sena has added double-layer acoustic glass in the rear to significantly isolate external noise, while optimizing the engine working range and increasing the power output range of the motor.
Intelligent upgrade: global cars, Chinese cabins, and comprehensive upgrades of software and hardware of the vehicle
The software and hardware of the car machine are fully iterated, equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which is currently the mainstream in the market, with more than 4 times more computing power and 8 times faster response speed, making the car machine run more smoothly and operate more silky. The car machine supports the interconnection of CarPlay, CarLife, and HiCar mobile phone systems, which is very convenient.
The 12.3-inch high-definition central control screen has a resolution of 2K, uses high-strength wear-resistant glass, and is silky to the touch, anti-glare and anti-fingerprint. The new car is equipped with a head-up display, which can be linked with the central control screen and the dashboard to make driving information clear at a glance.
The intelligent voice assistant is also more powerful, and the intelligent voice assistant is jointly developed by Huawei, which can wake up and continue to have a conversation, communicate naturally like a human, and understand the mix and match of Mandarin and dialects. The intelligent assistant can also realize the seamless interconnection of people, vehicles, and homes, and the intelligent experience is full. The car machine is connected to Huawei Hi-link, which can link a large number of smart homes, and control the lights, air conditioners, and air purifiers in the home through voice assistants in the car, realizing "voice home control". At the same time, it can also realize "home control car", and control the corresponding functions of the vehicle through the voice of the smart device at home.
As Toyota's global flagship MPV, the Sena has continued to sell well since its launch in 2021, becoming the fastest electric hybrid MPV to reach 100,000 sales in just 17 months, with monthly sales remaining above 6,000 units, continuing to rank among the top three in its class.
The continuous hot sales of Sena are essentially a deep insight into and comprehensive satisfaction of the core needs of family MPVs. While subverting the stereotype of bloated commercial vehicles and making MPVs look better, the flexible control completely bids farewell to the driver's feeling, makes MPVs better to drive, and provides large trunk space, spacious and comfortable seven-seaters, making MPVs easier to use.
The 2024 Saina pushes the experience of family MPVs to a new level through innovations in safety, comfort, and intelligence.
