Now more and more people are buying MPV models, whether it is for family travel to use, but also suitable for business reception to meet work purposes, in short, people's acceptance of MPV models is getting higher and higher. Similarly, it is rare to hear anyone say that it is a van when talking to an MPV model. In recent years, there have been too many popular MPV models, such as Denza D9, or the old classic Buick GL8, etc., which are all on the road and are very common. Recently, however, I noticed that there is a car that is also starting to be active in front of many people's eyes. If you look closely, you'll see that there are a lot of people in your city who are driving this car. This car is GAC Toyota's Sena. This car is currently ranked fourth in the popular comparison and word-of-mouth rankings of the car series. You may think that the fourth place result is not too good, but it is worth mentioning it. This car is located on top of the Buick GL8, so don't underestimate the overall reputation of this car, this car is not bad at all.
At present, this car has just been launched in 2024, so let's start talking about the latest model this time. Let's see if this car is worth buying. Can it be a good helper for us to live and work? At present, the appearance and styling of the common medium and large MPV models on the market are roughly the same. Basically, they use a boxy shape, which looks very similar to Toyota's Alpha, and I feel that many models are rubbing the edges, just so that consumers can feel that this car has a high-end appearance. However, this feeling is not obtained by blind plagiarism. On the contrary, it is like the styling design of this car, which can also give us a high-end feeling. The front position of this car is very evident in the Toyota family design. However, because this car is an MPV model, the position of the center grille has been moved to the bottom. Therefore, there may be many friends who think that the design here is a bit strange. But after looking at it for a long time, it can actually be accepted. The front of the car is decorated with silver chrome accents, which look like seagulls in flight. This also allows the vision of the more cumbersome mid-grid grid below to be moved to the middle position, which can be said to be a very clever design.
THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE LOOKS LIKE AN MPV, AFTER ALL, THE DIMENSIONS OF THE VEHICLE ARE 5165 MM 1995 MM 1765 MM, AND THE WHEELBASE IS 3060 MM. The data on this is clear for all to see. But if you look closely, you will find that there are a lot of edges and corners of this car, and the muscle lines are very rough. At first glance, you will think that this car is a hybrid of SUV and MPV. This is also a different characteristic. Therefore, when this car is driven on the road, it can be found that it has formed a very strong impact with other MPV models. You can see it at first glance among all the models.
Coming to the rear of the vehicle, the overall shape here is still relatively close to a boxy design. However, compared to competing models of the same level, it is still too full. In addition, if you look closely, we can also find the design style that belongs to the Toyota family in many places of this car. Therefore, this car can be said to retain the original flavor of the Toyota family. Therefore, this car is not afraid of comparison at all, after all, the whole is its own style.
The interior of this car, to be honest, didn't surprise me very much. At first, I thought that the interior of this car must be mainly luxurious, and the center screen is also very large. It will even incorporate a dual-screen design into the co-pilot's position. But looking at it now, it's obvious that I'm thinking too much, and the size of the central control screen of this car is only 10.25 inches and 12.3 inches. And there are also some physical buttons under the central control screen, which looks very cumbersome. And the position of the center console is not as wooden as I imagined. So it doesn't look that high-end. But after thinking about it, this car belongs to Japanese products after all, and it seems that this design is expected. So this car is not so suitable for some friends who love luxurious interiors.
Let's take a look at the seat part of this car, and I personally think that the seat padding of this car is very solid. But what I don't like is that the seat material used in the low-spec version of this car is actually fabric. The price of this car is already here, so I don't understand why it doesn't use faux leather. And the front seats don't have any additional features, and they don't even have a power seat memory function. Power seat adjustment for the main driving position only. So, if you're on a budget and the car is mainly used for business reception, then I'd definitely recommend buying a higher model.
Then again, if you're just going to have more space for your family's daily outings. Well, there is no problem with the low-spec version of this car, after all, the energy type used in this car is a gasoline-electric hybrid, and the combined fuel consumption is only 5.77 liters. In addition, the overall configuration of this car in 2024 is the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and E-CVT continuously variable gear, so there is no difference in power. Finally, it comes to the price of this car. Why do I feel so angry? Because the starting price of this car is 299,800 yuan, and the highest is 410,800 yuan. In this price range, we can choose from a wide range of brands, as well as a lot of high-spec configurations. But the reason why we like this car more is because of the appearance of this car. So do you in front of the screen think the price of this car is right? Feel free to leave a comment below.
