II. Generation Reviews

1. First Generation (XP80; 2003 - 2015)

The first generation Toyota Sienta was launched in Japan in 2003. The car was also sold in many other markets like Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia through parallel imports.

The car was given a facelift in 2003 (3 years after its first debut). This facelift is available in many color choices such as Metallic Blue, Gun-Metal Grey and Apple Green. Another change given for the facelift is double electric-powered sliding doors.

The first generation Toyota Sienta uses a 1.5-litre VVT-i petrol engine, making 82 kW (110 hp; 111 PS) at 6,000 rpm and pairs with a continuously variable transmission. EBD (Electronic brakeforce distribution) and ABS (anti-lock braking system) are standard.

For the models made in 2007 in the Japanese market only, a subscription telematics service and G-Book is available as optional.

In  2010, Toyota decided to stop producing the Sienta due to its age, though its sales number is still going well. In May 2011, the car was reintroduced unchanged (except for a new sports model and renamed trim levels, Sienta DICE, with a seperate look).

2. Second Generation (XP170, 2015 - present)

On July 9, 2015 the second generation Toyota Sienta was introduced to the public. Unlike the first generation with a box-like shape, the second generation owns a new design like a trekking-shoe-like shape. Additionally, the new models feature a big front grille and front and rear bumper garnishes which links to the lights.

In this generation, the mini MPV is available in 3 interior layouts: 5-seater, 6-seater, and 7-seater. Comparing to the prior generation models, the interior space has been extended in all areas.

A hybrid version is offered in this generation. This version consumes less fuel than normal versions, making it eligible for tax incentives and eco-car subsidies. A “Stop & Start System” is fitted as a standard option.

In Japan, the Sienta is available in X, G, Hybrid X and Hybrid G variant.

III. Toyota Sienta Price

On used car market, the price of a Toyota Sienta is now varying from $4,000 to $17,000 depending on model year, mileage and other condition of the car. The newer the model is, the higher the price is. The better the car condition is, the higher the price costs.

And make sure that you make a deal with a good dealer as he can sell you a car with much life left. If you buy a used car from an unknown dealer, there is nothing to guarantee the quality as well as the price of the car.

In case you don’t know who is a good dealer, you can try to make a deal with big platforms selling car such as Carfromjapan.com to get a car in good condition at a very reasonable price.
