On April 23, GAC Toyota's 2024 Saina was officially launched. The new car will be repriced, and the official price of the whole system 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 and interests will be 15,000 yuan. The starting price of the new car is 284,800 yuan, and the threshold is greatly reduced!
The 2024 Sena not only has a price reduction across the board, but also achieves a number of configuration upgrades. 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.
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 order to bring a better riding experience to the occupants of the car, the 2024 Saina 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. 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 in areas such as under the center console, door panel armrests, and leg contact areas, with a coverage rate of up to 85%. 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.
The 2024 Sena has also achieved an intelligent upgrade this time. 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 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.
Jointly developed by Huawei, the intelligent voice assistant can wake up and continue to have a conversation, communicate naturally like a human, and understand a mix 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.
Quick Comment:

Now, the 2024 Sena has not only reduced its price across the board, but also achieved a number of configuration upgrades, making it undoubtedly more competitive than before. With the help of the new Sena, Saina may be able to achieve further sales growth. (Text: Jiang Feng)
