The 2024 Seina will push the experience of family MPVs to a new height through innovations in safety, comfort, and intelligence......
On April 23, GAC Toyota's 2024 Saina was officially launched in Beijing, with a price range of 284,800-395,800 yuan. The new Saina breaks the traditional rhythm of facelift, closely follows the needs of Chinese users, deepens local research and development, and brings the world's best Saina to the Chinese market.
The 2024 Sena achieves three major hard-core innovations: safety innovation, equipped with the 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, and intelligent innovation, equipped with the mainstream 8155 chip, which runs more smoothly, using Huawei's intelligent voice assistant, with stronger voice interaction capabilities, and can realize seamless connection between people, vehicles and homes.
The 2024 model of Sina will be repriced, and the official price of the whole series will be reduced by 25,000 yuan, of which the suggested retail price will be reduced by 10,000 yuan, and the official APP rights will be 15,000 yuan. The starting price is 284,800 yuan, and the threshold is greatly reduced! The premium version is equipped with an airline seat, and the price is 344,800 yuan. The four-wheel drive luxury version is equipped with the E-FOUR system and is priced at 320,800 yuan. The 2024 Saina redefines the "high-end family MPV value benchmark" with more competitive products and prices.
The 2024 Saina is equipped with the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, which greatly improves the stability and safety of the handling, making it easy to "drive steadily". 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. No matter what kind of road conditions, you can drive steadily.
In terms of active safety, the 2024 Saina is equipped with the T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system as standard, with the goal of "zero-error intelligent driving assistance", relying on the development of "zero accident" data of more than 20 billion kilometers of intelligent driving in the world, which is more mature and reliable, more comfortable and delicate, smooth with the car, centered in the corner, and no rush in sudden braking. The 2024 SAINA has also upgraded the PVM panoramic monitoring system, adding a 3D panoramic car model and a 2D left and right view, which makes the display more intuitive and clearer, 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 0 defect evaluation, the door and B-pillar structure were complete 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 of itself, which greatly reduced the impact on the occupants in the car and provided a solid guarantee for family travel.
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. All-round protection from the outside to the inside makes the 2024 Sena bring a full sense of security to the family.
In order to meet the expectations of Chinese family users for comfort and luxury, this time's facelift focuses on strengthening the interior texture and sense of grade, making the cockpit experience a new one.
The 2024 Sena is equipped with the same integrated airline seat as Alpha, allowing second-row passengers to enjoy a first-class riding experience. The seat adopts an 8-layer composite structure, selected from Bavarian high-grade 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, making it easy for families in the third row to enter and exit, reflecting the thoughtful and detail-oriented product design concept of Sena.
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.
In order to create a more warm and comfortable cabin, the 2024 Saina uses a more delicate leather wrap under the center console, on the armrests of the door panels, on the leg contact areas, etc., with up to 85% coverage and better tactile and texture. The silver chrome strip of the second-row door panels echoes the silver chrome of the airline seats, and the overall texture of the cockpit has reached a new level.
In order to achieve better vehicle quietness, the 2024 Sena adds 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, bringing a quiet and comfortable riding environment to the family.
Based on China's intelligent ecological advantages, it will carry out localized and in-depth development based on the "China Plan" to bring China's exclusive intelligent cockpit to global cars. 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, 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.
At the same time, Saina also has an incomparable brand advantage. With the innate high QDR gene, based on the huge data of large-scale mass production, Seina implements high-standard quality control that far exceeds the industry in every link. In the R&D stage, a higher quality redundancy design is adopted. In the procurement stage, we build a world-class supplier system, grasp the quality from the source, and the quality control effect is much higher than the industry level.
In the manufacturing stage, GAC Toyota's "Global Model Factory" has reached the world's top level, and the first-time pass rate of the production line is as high as 99.2%, about 10 percentage points ahead of the industry level. Sena's more excellent original quality of large manufacturers brings users a more reliable and durable MPV car experience.
With higher value and more powerful price, the 2024 Sena will become the best choice for 300,000-level MPVs and will continue to lead the consumption trend of high-end family MPVs.
