The Toyota Sienta will be launched in Indonesia come April, according to internal sources at Toyota. The Yaris-based Sienta will fit in between the Toyota Avanza and Kijang Innova in the Indonesian market, reports AutoNetMagz.
Further details have been disclosed regarding the Indonesian variant. For one, the B-segment MPV is said to be available with both power-sliding and manually-operable doors. In addition to that, the Sienta will feature a double blower (not available in Japan) for rear passengers, and a different set of seats.
As for the engine, the Sienta is said to be coming with the same mill currently found in the Toyota Yaris, which is a 1NZ-FE 1.5 litre unit with 109 PS and 141 Nm. That said, the Sienta hybrid will not be available there, due to taxes.
In another report, the Toyota Sienta will be built at PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia’s new Factory II in Karawang, West Java. Production capacity of the Sienta will amount to about 25,000 units. Out of that number, 80% will be for the domestic market, while the rest will be exported.
Indonesia will reportedly be the second production base for the Sienta after Japan. With that, there’s a possibility that the Toyota Sienta could make its way over to our shores as well. So guys, if it ever makes its way here, would this unique-looking MPV interest you?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
You mean if brought in by that piece of shit, UMW?
No, thanks.
Power window cause fire solved?
I’m quite suprised that they still use the air-cond knobs and gear. Since the tech for steering column gear has been with us for decades (older MPV’s) and the air-cond could easily be integrated into the center console. It would have cut a lot of cost while increasing interior space.
This remind me of the Honda Freed no rear aircond….hope if come to Malaysia can sell well pitty Freed now not available anymore but only now people looking for it at Honda Showroom…i think Sienta will fill up the gap…
I was looking for the Honda Freed at one time… after they stopped selling :(
The reason was the power sliding door giving easy access to both old and young and the headroom is good.
The problem was the dashboard a bit… err.. errr… you know.
Are they really serious to put 1NZ engine for Sienta?
JDM spec fits same 2NR like new Avanza here.
THe face like alza thou..
Really look like alzaa..omg
Please Please come with rear aircond. Toyota is surely rushing Sienta to compete with Honda BR-V! Interesting.
alza replacement
This car cannot come Malaysia la…if come proton go bankrupt right away
1NZ-FXE is for hybrid, but there mention no hybrid.
Fix please.
I beg to defer. There are 2 variant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_NZ_engine
Looks like the demon lovechild between vios keli, alza & freed.
Toyota is coming out with new models.No rebadge and celup.
Prootong is coming out with a new model called Proton SS( Syiok Sendiri.)
Toyota just celup-ped Mazda 2 for USA market. Topkek basher seems to ignore this.
That is precisely the point. Toyota ‘celup-ped Maxda 2’ as you put it is not for their domestic market. Our national Ketuanan car program is trying to con MALAYSIANS into buyng so-called ‘celup-ped’ antional cars. The Japanese do no such thing.
Great mini MPV & looking forward. Hope the price is affordable for family.
