Toyota considered customer feedback and tried to express their real expectations for Sienta in developing this new model.
The bottom line is that Toyota has maintained the vehicle's well-deserved length, bringing the latest safety features, fuel economy and affordability, while refining the user-friendly cabin space retained from the first generation.
The team has ensured a cabin space that can accommodate up to seven adults without changing the length and width, making the Sienta a better companion according to the customer's lifestyle.
The second row seats, where most of the passengers sit, have been redesigned to provide more rear seat space for legs and head.
In addition, the new Sienta adopts an updated engine resulting in fuel economy and driving performance through TNGA, as well as the latest safety features to support family travel.

Including to efficiently circulate warm or cold air from the AC unit to the rear seats thereby eliminating the temperature difference between the front and rear seats
While maintaining a floor height as low as 330 mm and a flat floor without stairs, the electric sliding door opening has been expanded to 1,200 mm, 60 mm longer than the previous model, for easy entry and exit from behind the seat.
All family members, from children to the elderly, can easily get in and out of the vehicle without worrying about hitting the doors or cabin panels.

This system extends support in typically more severe parallel parking conditions.
TNGA Platform Maintains New Sienta's Ride Quality
The platform that forms the basic structure of the vehicle is designed on the basis of the TNGA (GA-B) platform. The main structures are combined to form a ring-shaped frame to increase joint stiffness.
This extremely rigid body looks light and balanced to provide high-quality ride comfort and outstanding maneuverability.
Handling stability, ride comfort, and quietness have been improved by using a high-damage structural adhesive type for the vehicle's main structure and partial mastic sealer used for the roof panels.
The geometry of the front and rear suspension has been optimized for a rigid body. With MacPherson struts at the front and torsion beams at the rear, the suspension system creates a soft and smooth movement with excellent handling.
A minimum turning radius of only 5.0 m facilitates smooth maneuvering on narrow roads and car parks.
