I rented this car in japan. Solid 10/10 value Has a gigantic inner space, 3 cup holders, extra storage on the top of the glove box , just ummmmmmhhhhaaa a perfect economic well thought out designed car.
I drive a 2nd generation and I did a test on this car, the 3rd row footspace is greatly reduced to allow more bootspace. Try to compare against the 2nd generation and you will notice the difference. The 3rd row is no longer for adults in this model.
My father drives a second gen Sienta for Grab and Gojek. I’m planning to get this third gen model as my first car (shared with my family) after getting my license and in the future using it for Private Hire Driving.
IN MY COUNTRY MALAYSIA DON'T HAVE ANYMORE THIS SIENTA NEW GENERATION. JUST ONLY HAVE A PREVIOUS 2ND GENERATION. BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS NEW 3RD GENERATION
In my opinion...i like sienta(cuzz 7 seater mpv with sliding door)...but ya in my country (Malaysia) sienta sales are bad...now Veloz is a affordable choice
These would make SO much more sense in Europe than the overpriced, overweight SUVs which are so common as to be like vermin. Choice has been narrowed down to SUVs or saloons, with the occasional hatchback thrown in by the French and Germans for nostalgia but at prices far in excess of a fair profit margin over what they cost to make. Given that the UK and Ireland use rt hand drive the same as Japan, Oceania and parts of the far east, Toyota could have a huge market here. The Sienta is an MPV and does so many different jobs that in a 2 car family it would be the most used -- especially with the avoidance of silly slitty windows like on most cars. The 2 car family's second car could be something faster and more polluting to be used occasionally like a 'style statement' for those with such a mentality. The key point about this car and its antecedent Yaris Verso automatic is that UTILITY IS ITS OWN STYLE.
Although, I don't like this car 3rd row leg length and boot space. But give a thumb up for the review. Thanks. Too bad, if sienta there is a bigger version would be great.
watching from Thailand, currently Toyota Thailand still not annouce, they will selling this model or not. now I become to family man, so I interest Sienta I enjoy to watching your review, thank
Literally cringed when the comparison is drawn between this and the S8.. it’s a world of difference and shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence, what’s even more amazing is trying to imply that the comfort and smoothness is a level above the S8 😂
I had the 2nd generation Sienta for less than a year and decided I have enough of it and changed to an Outlander and have stick to it for the last 5 yrs. Why did I say enough is enough even though I lost almost $20k for the change. 1. The car looks very sulky from the front. 2. The 1.5L engine was just way too under powered a family of 5 pax. It has got this draggy and sluggish under power noise when you accelerate 3. The seat belt design for the second row passenger just doesn’t make much sense. But I do agree there are some good benefits with this car. Fuel economy was very good but maybe this also explained for the under power performance. I am a tall person and the car gave a very good head room and leg room comfort to all except of course the last row passengers. And now at a price $150k , I don’t see any motivation to even reconsider. Till now I still don’t quite understand why I bought it at first but I have to say that the guy who sold me the car was a very good sales professional. My two cents. Cheers. 😊
Is this singapore sienta? Hopefully toyota indonesia will have the same model. The older model i hate it when they change the gear stick, its different with japan model.
Wait until the existing COE down to the level of five years ago then it will be like hot curry puff! Why the roof centre air blower was not available as in Japan version? Not approved by LTA or to safe cost? why 2nd gen Sienta which assembled in Indonesia have centre air blower fixed as standard? Well, only the local authorized dealer knows the answer.
why doesn't singapore get the new toyota system like in japan and other markets but always the dollar store screens??? it's a parallel import so i was expecting it to be there. same deal with the harrier, range topper has an 8inch instead of the 12.3 like in japan and the states..
The high price of cars in Singapore, like the Toyota Alphard, is largely due to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, which requires bidding for the right to own a car, and several taxes, including the Additional Registration Fee (ARF) and Goods and Services Tax (GST). These factors combined significantly increase the cost compared to other countries. - Jay
I hope Toyota can assemble this car In Indonesia with additional double blower air conditioner for fucking hot tropical country and manual version transmission like previous model but can still maintain walkthrough cabin concept not like Indonesian Production version that eliminate walkthrough cabin concept
Sorry I can't take you seriously when you said this car is appealing. And plastic being eco-conscious, seriously? I find that the quality of reviews by sgcarmart is regressing.
We have the HR-V hybrid review in the pipeline, but in the meantime, you can read what one of our writers wrote here! www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=1888 -Jay
Too a boxy design and the rear seat is flimsy for comfort the reason it can be tucked into create that flat space. Still, a bit under power compare to the Honda Freed. You can feel it dragging if you carry a full passenger inside. The best advantage is of course fuel consumption. Will buy? Nah I won't buy it.
It’s a mini-mpv. This is not a mini-bus. If you want space for a family of 6 with luggages, get a mid/large-size mpv like the readily available Noah/Voxy/Alphard/Vellfire with boot space to spare. There’s a reason why Toyota created different segments of MPVs to suit different lifestyle needs. Understand the market proposition of such cars. It’s not specially designed for the long-haul road trip up the malaysia peninsula NSH. It’s meant for the errand-running dad/mum running about for short/medium trips around town.
The Sienta is not worth it for $150K. There is a slight improvement regarding about the features as compared to 2nd gen. But as again, for the price you pay, the features are still pretty basic. It's one of the worst cars I've ever driven. In the driver's seat, it's not very comfortable. The car is under powered. With just 4 passengers, the car will struggle even on a slight incline. Pick up from stand still will also struggle. What I hate about the car is the suspension. It's very soft, it's a rock and roll ride. Whenever it goes over a hump, there is a high chance of the under carriage hitting the ground. Fuel efficiency is disappointing for a hybrid. I'm a conservative driver on the accelerator. The best I ever squeezed out from the car is a meagre 17-18km per litre. Even a Prius could get 23-24km per litre.
Best presenter on the channel. Talks, does not shout. Clear delivery, neutral accent. More of him please.
Neutral accent???..you must be chinese too.
I rented this car in japan.
Solid 10/10 value
Has a gigantic inner space, 3 cup holders, extra storage on the top of the glove box , just ummmmmmhhhhaaa a perfect economic well thought out designed car.
Still rocking the first sienta. 70,000 miles on it and the consumption is really still so good.
Not at current COE price. I would say it is a Good car that come at the wrong COE cycle
Gotta wait for the cycle to dip
I drive a 2nd generation and I did a test on this car, the 3rd row footspace is greatly reduced to allow more bootspace. Try to compare against the 2nd generation and you will notice the difference. The 3rd row is no longer for adults in this model.
The earlier Sientas had a 60/40 front row seating arrangement, which completed the package.
Menarik utk dinanti. Semoga segera masuk produksi di Indonesia. Solusi cerdas mobil keluarga hemat BBM dg harga lebih murah. 👍🏼
150k is just too expensive. Having said that, it is a well-thought out car. Perfect for the family man.
My father drives a second gen Sienta for Grab and Gojek. I’m planning to get this third gen model as my first car (shared with my family) after getting my license and in the future using it for Private Hire Driving.
Looks more cute than the 2nd gen.
Only 1 problem. I hope that they will put the rear air blower available in the JDM version
Good point!
-Jay
This should come to india.... Practical yet not too big....n economy
I wish It came to Europe, very practical !!! I LOVE it
nice one, do they have non-hybrid one, the price is too high
I like the new style. It will be a while before I get those on my lot here.

how is the sienta on the north south highway?

nice car I hope Toyota sell all new Sienta in Thailand.
Can’t wait until sienta hybrid available in Indonesia..
Honestly the COE really needs to come down to 50K Cat A, 70K Cat B.
My way or LTA can go fk off on the highway.
Nice review
we need this in the philippines!!
Although, I don't like this car 3rd row leg length and boot space. But give a thumb up for the review. Thanks.
Too bad, if sienta there is a bigger version would be great.
Bigger 7-seater Toyota hybrid options include the Alphard Hybrid like the one we reviewed here! ruclips.net/video/WFpIvp-Z1Yo/видео.html
- Jay
@@sgcarmartreviews Too bad singapore AD don't carry any mid size MVP. Alphard is to big to maneuver in Singapore.
So there' s no spare tyre in case of a puncher on the road...???
Can i have the boot measurements LxWxDxH when the 3rd row when under the 2rd row.
Please launch in Malaysia
watching from Thailand, currently Toyota Thailand still not annouce, they will selling this model or not.
now I become to family man, so I interest Sienta
I enjoy to watching your review, thank
Thanks Futron, hope this review helped your choice! 😊
- Jay
Looks remind me of the Fiat Doblo
This car would be a good buy if not for the expensive COE.. :(
Saya menunggu sienta hybrid masuk Indonesia untuk menggantikan honda freed lama.
Literally cringed when the comparison is drawn between this and the S8.. it’s a world of difference and shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence, what’s even more amazing is trying to imply that the comfort and smoothness is a level above the S8 😂
You can get a used S8 around here for $25K cause everyone knows it's such a POS.
For context they’re comparing it to a new S8 that they reviewed in Singapore which costs about S$800,000, not a beaten up 20yo ride
@@Conan1986 I don't remember what point I was trying to make. Lol.
Only worth around 90-100k. Not worth it at current COE proces
The New One using DNGA platform and Engine like Raize.. Made by Daihatsu..
How would you compare Sienta with Honda Freed?
Hi Jason, you can check out our video on the Honda Freed that we did a few months after this, and I made some comparisons between the two!

insane price. the buyer must be stupid rich🤣
Does Singapore has Toyota Voxy?
Yes, we do even the Noahs.
I like the car.How can I buy and its how much.lm Tanzanian from Africa thank you
Shipped it from Japan. Check out Pacific Coast Auto
Does it come with child lock feature?

Maybe Singapore bans it.
Will this car entering malaysia?
How to survive sg-my road trip is there’s no rear aircon @.@ 3rd row gonna be roasted 😅
150k? Isn't that the price of a Totota Alphard?

Honest reviews always comes from the comment section. Verdict for this car - keep trying.
Sorry I can't take you seriously when you said this car is appealing. And plastic being eco-conscious, seriously? I find that the quality of reviews by sgcarmart is regressing.
Everybody has their own opinion n the car can't please everybody..
The 2nd gen Sienta has much more things, it had rear Aircon vents and entertainment and more 3rd row legroom than this gen
The price will further increase due to the number of potential grab drivers getting these cars.
I agree
Still waiting for review on the Honda vezel 1.5G Petrol?

hi from brazil
i will have this ❤
It looks alot like a fiat panda from the front
This new sienta doesn’t have rear Air-con blower!
At 150K COE, sienta automatically becomes Sianliao.
🤣
I think you are insulting the Audi S8 comparing this toy car to the premium sedan
150k for a Sienta 😫
:')
1 accident in this and you'll never need any other car or anything.
What do you mean? The body is soft?
It is cloth seat dude, what u mean by comfy??
Too a boxy design and the rear seat is flimsy for comfort the reason it can be tucked into create that flat space. Still, a bit under power compare to the Honda Freed. You can feel it dragging if you carry a full passenger inside. The best advantage is of course fuel consumption. Will buy? Nah I won't buy it.
Masak cuma 78 juta...?
Gw kira ridwan hanif
Look like a Limo version of Fiat 500
Too much bank for too little car.
Second generation design was better
old renault kangoo face.
it looks like boxer using mouth guard
Whao ! A copycat of the Fiat Panda Mk4 ! 😲
Very practical car but fugly.. Only the rims looks nice..
3 cylinder LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would not pay anything more than $70K for this version. And if you really know car prices around the world, 70K is already ridiculous.
berapa pajaknya bang
😃
The Japanese copy of FIAT Panda
Just too small, less leg space room, low ground clearance, not special engine performance.
Haha Toyota Panda
Looks very European. Like something out of Fiat or Citroën.
150k for this toycar
2nd gen nicer
Boot space is ridiculous, if you need to travel oversea with a family of 6, how do you even fit 6 people worth of luggage
It’s a mini-mpv. This is not a mini-bus. If you want space for a family of 6 with luggages, get a mid/large-size mpv like the readily available Noah/Voxy/Alphard/Vellfire with boot space to spare. There’s a reason why Toyota created different segments of MPVs to suit different lifestyle needs.
Understand the market proposition of such cars. It’s not specially designed for the long-haul road trip up the malaysia peninsula NSH. It’s meant for the errand-running dad/mum running about for short/medium trips around town.
The new sienta is ugly but quite useful ah
Man. it now has the same frog-like face as Honda's freed. the old design looks better( Honda likewise).
The Sienta is not worth it for $150K. There is a slight improvement regarding about the features as compared to 2nd gen. But as again, for the price you pay, the features are still pretty basic. It's one of the worst cars I've ever driven. In the driver's seat, it's not very comfortable. The car is under powered. With just 4 passengers, the car will struggle even on a slight incline.

Well.. u try very hard to out sell this model.. once bang by other vehicles.. surely many passengers in the car will admit to A&E immediately
Ugly front bumper grill.... Hoeekkkk....
I think is quite ugly design. Hope Toyota bring back Toyota wish design.
1.7milyar rupiah hanya untik sienta 🥲
