Toyota MPV upstart, space upgraded, surprises continue to come
As a world-renowned car company, Toyota has been committed to creating a high-quality travel experience for consumers. In the field of medium and large MPVs, Toyota has won the favor of countless loyal owners with its Senna series. Now, the new generation of the 2024 Senna is amazingly unveiled, which will bring consumers a full range of upgrades, whether it is a stylish and dynamic exterior design, a spacious and comfortable interior, or a powerful and efficient powertrain, all of which are highly anticipated.
The new Senna is a bold innovation in terms of appearance, perfectly interpreting Toyota's latest Keen Look family design language. At the front, the large-mouth grille design gives it a strong sporty look, while the interior chrome trim strip outlines a sleek look. The daytime running lights on both sides have a unique shape, and the streamlined LED headlight cluster makes the entire front face look very technological.
The body lines are more dynamic while retaining the usual style of Senna. The side of the car, with its waistline running from the front fenders to the rear, elegantly contrasts with the roofline, highlighting the unique design concept. The sports package, which was originally only seen on high-end models, such as stylish aluminum alloy wheels and sporty front and rear bumpers, has become standard equipment on the new generation Senna, making the vehicle look more sporty and stylish.
At the rear, the new car features a new taillight cluster design with a lot of details. The taillights are stylish and atmospheric, and the internal chrome trim strip echoes the body's waistline, highlighting the overall design texture. The mid-mounted double-sided four-outlet exhaust system also gives the new car a sportier look.
The new Senna has also been completely upgraded in terms of interior space, which can be described as the epitome of spaciousness and comfort. The size of the large screen in the center console has been increased, the sense of science and technology is stronger, and the operation experience is more humanized. The overall design style of the center console is more simple and stylish, which blends seamlessly with the atmosphere of the car.
In terms of seat layout, the new car adheres to the usual seven-seat layout, but the details are more user-friendly. The front seats are more enveloping and supportive, so you won't get tired on long drives. The row seats can not only slide forward and backward, but also rotate 180 degrees to facilitate communication with the row passengers. The row seats have a new power folding function, which allows you to quickly fold down the seats at the touch of a button for more trunk space.
In addition to the seating layout, the new car has also made great strides in terms of space utilization. The storage space in the car has been made more user-friendly, such as the front center armrest box to accommodate more items, and the new storage compartment under the rear seats. The trunk volume has also been increased compared to the previous model, making it easy to load a large amount of luggage even when seven people are in the same seat.
In terms of humanized configuration, the new car also brings more surprises to consumers. For example, the rear seat entertainment system is now standard, and passengers can control audio and video playback through the wireless headphone remote control for a better experience. The new car also offers more personalized options, allowing consumers to customize according to their needs.
The powertrain of the new Senna is equally exciting. The car will be powered by the same generation hybrid system as the Highlander, mated to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. The maximum total power can reach 245 horsepower, and the acceleration to 100 kilometers takes only 7.7 seconds, and the power output is quite strong. The fuel consumption of the new car is only 6.9L/100km under comprehensive working conditions, and the environmental performance is excellent.
At the heart of this hybrid system is the THS-AWD intelligent all-wheel drive system. It intelligently distributes power according to road conditions, ensuring that the vehicle maintains excellent handling performance in all road conditions. For example, when driving on snow or dirt roads, the system automatically distributes more power to the rear wheels to ensure that the vehicle has enough traction. Under normal road conditions, the power is distributed to the front wheels for better fuel economy.
A new all-wheel drive version is also available. This model will be further improved in terms of power output and off-road performance, which may appeal to some consumers who like outdoor activities such as camping. The specific parameters are yet to be officially announced.
