Toyota Sienta updated with more kit, one variant only priced at RM97k



UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) has just announced minor updates for the MY2018 Toyota Sienta. The compact MPV will now be offered in a sole 1.5 V variant with additional accessories and equipment for the same price tag of RM97,000, on the road sans insurance.

On the outside, the updated model gets the same equipment from before – full bi-LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights, LED taillamps, front and rear fog lamps, acoustic front windshield, dual powered sliding doors and 16-inch alloys wrapped in 195/50 profile tyres.

It is only when you step inside you’ll find a new 6.9-inch DVD-AVX system with a reverse camera (upgradable to 7.0-inch with navigation), optional 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, rear USB charging port for the second-row seats and rear cargo trunk mat.

Other standard items include two-tone multifunctional leather-wrapped steering wheel, Optitron instrument cluster with coloured TFT multi-info display, fabric upholstery and six-speakers.

Mechanically, the Sienta retains the 2NR-FE 1.5-litre four-cylinder DVVT-i engine producing 106 hp and 140 Nm of torque to drive the front wheels via a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with seven virtual ratios.

Safety equipment remains the same as before – three airbags (dual frontal and driver’s knee), ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, Hill-start Assist Control, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Toyota Premium Security and Solar Film.

Order books for the updated Toyota Sienta 1.5 V are now open at all Toyota authorised dealers nationwide. For added peace of mind, the Sienta comes with a 5-Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
