Toyota's Latest Sienta is Fun-To-Drive, Practical And Economical!
Toyota has been on a roll of late, creating quality cars that manage to be practical, whilst still preserving a sense of driving enjoyment. And the same is true of the all-new new Sienta.
Toyota has been on a roll of late, creating quality cars that manage to be practical, whilst still preserving a sense of driving enjoyment. And the same is true of the all-new new Sienta.The traits that have made it a hit with private hire drivers and family men alike have been preserved, but the boffins at Aichi have further refined the formula. So you still get the space, configurability and practicality of the outgoing model, but now with added fun.
And there’s a fairly notable source for that buzz. The Sienta has been built on the same platform that was used to build the GR Yaris. Yes, it has the same TNGA underpinnings as you’d find in a smattering of other Toyota Group products, which also include an adapted, EV-specific platform used in the creation of the bZ4X.
It allows the car to feel much more sure footed when on the go, which makes for a fairly impressive vehicle when you find yourself on a stretch of twisty roads. The same cannot be said for its predecessor.
Sustainability is also one of its strong suits, with ecological materials used in the cabin, and a fuel-efficient hybrid drivetrain which is extremely efficient. It may not be the most exciting vehicle on a straight-line speed front, but it is perhaps the best overall choice if you are looking for an affordable, practical family MPV that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
It also looks significantly better than the car it replaces, managing to also feel more premium at the same time!
