Toyota Sienna is an MPV model based on the North American market. This car has large space, many seats, and relatively reliable quality, so it is a very best-selling MPV model in North America. Currently, this car can only be purchased in the domestic parallel imported car market, but its price is so high that it can only be prohibitive for those who like this car but are short of money. But the good news is that Toyota is expected to produce this car in China at GAC Toyota in 2022. This has made new progress recently. Recently, we obtained a series of patent names filed by GAC Toyota from the National Trademark Office. These names are all transliterated from "Sienna".
From the table, we can see that the names registered by GAC Toyota include Sienna, Sienna, Sienna, Sienna, Sienna, and Sienna, which are Chinese names that are close to the transliteration of Sienna. , the purpose of registering such names is to protect the Chinese name of "Sienna", and it also proves that this car will definitely be produced in China by GAC Toyota.
As early as 2018, Toyota registered the "Sienna" trademark in China, and news of Sienna being produced in China by GAC Toyota also spread frequently. For car companies, MPV models may be the next trend, especially some high-quality MPV models that may be accepted by more families. Volkswagen launched its first domestic mid- to high-end MPV model, the Viloran, last year. As its biggest competitor, Toyota should also take action.
The overseas version of Toyota Sienna will launch the next generation model, which will be built on the TNGA platform. The overall quality may be raised to a higher level. In the future, GAC Toyota may directly produce the next generation Toyota Sienna in China. The starting price of the current Toyota Sienna in the United States is US$31,640, which is lower than the starting price of the 3.6L Highlander, equivalent to about 220,000 yuan. The current price of this car in the domestic parallel import market is around 400,000-600,000. In the future, its price will be greatly reduced after it is made in China, and it is expected to be about the same price as the Buick GL8. The overseas version of the current Toyota Sienna adopts a very fashionable appearance. Although its body height is not high, the space inside the car is large enough, making it a very good nanny car. In terms of power, the overseas version of the current Toyota Sienna is equipped with a 3.5L engine with a maximum output of 296 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. However, future entry-level models of domestically produced models may use 2.5L hybrid engines or 2.0T engines, because they are more capable.
