The Toyota Sena is a mid-to-large MPV launched in China in 2021 and is positioned as a family car, focusing on space, comfort and hybrid advantages. As Toyota's flagship MPV, the price of the Sena is not cheap, the lowest comfort version is 310,000, and the highest platinum version is 38980,000. So, is such a ** worth the money?How did Sena actually perform?Today, let's listen to the true feelings of a low-profile Saina owner, he lifted a 310,000 Saina and drove 4,230 kilometers, what do you have to say?
First, let's take a look at why this owner chose Saina. He said that he is a family with two children, and he usually needs to take his children to and from school, and he has to take the whole family out to play on weekends, so his needs for a car are to have more space, more seats, a trunk that can be installed, fuel consumption to be saving, and safety to be high. He said that he used to drive a seven-seater SUV, but he felt that the SUV did not use much space, the third row of seats was cramped, the trunk was not enough, and the fuel consumption was not low. He said that he wanted to change to an MPV, but there are not many MPV models on the market, and most of them are domestic or joint ventures, and he is not confident in the quality and reliability of these cars. He said that he has always preferred Toyota's cars, because Toyota's cars are easy to maintain and have leading hybrid technology. He said that he originally wanted to buy an Alpha, but the price of Alpha was too high and out of his budget, so he turned his attention to Saina, because Sena is Alpha's younger brother, there are many similarities, and ** is also more accessible to the people. He said that he test-drove the Sena in the 4S store and felt very satisfied, so he did not hesitate to place an order and chose the comfort version with the lowest configuration, because he felt that this configuration was enough, and he didn't want to spend too much money on some unnecessary configurations.
So, after this owner picked up the car and drove 4,230 kilometers, how did he evaluate the performance of Saina?He said that his overall feeling about Sena is still very good, but there are some dissatisfactions, so let's analyze them in detail.

The owner said that the biggest advantage of the Sena is the space, the body size of the Sena is 5165 1995 1765, and the wheelbase is 3060, which is very large in the MPV of the same level. The space utilization rate of Sena is also very high, the seats in the second and third rows can be slid back and forth to adjust the most suitable riding space, and the seats in the third row are also spacious, which can seat two adults without feeling cramped. The trunk space of the Sena is also amazing, 525 liters with the 7-seater fully open, which can fit the whole family's luggage, and if the seats in the third row are folded down, the trunk space can be expanded to 2112 liters, which is simply a small van that can fit a lot of large items. The owner said that he had taken his family to camping a few times, and the space of the Saina fully met their needs, and there was a lot of storage space, with 19 cup holders alone, and a small table in the second row, which was very convenient.
Secondly, let's take a look at the comfort of the Sena. The owner said that the comfort of the Sena is also very good, the seats of the Sena are soft and comfortable to sit on, and the main and co-pilot seats have electric adjustment and heating functions, which can adjust the most comfortable position according to their preferences.

Again, let's take a look at the power and fuel consumption of the Sena. The owner said that the power and fuel consumption of the Sena are also what he is more satisfied with, and the Sena is equipped with 25-liter naturally aspirated hybrid engine, maximum power is 178 horsepower, maximum torque is 221 Nm, matched with E-CVT electronic continuously variable transmission, although this power system is not strong, but it is enough, after all, Saina is a family MPV, does not need too much power performance, as long as it can drive smoothly and smoothly. The owner said that when he started Saina, he felt that the power output was very smooth, there was no frustration, the gearbox was also very smooth, there was no sense of hysteresis, the switching of the hybrid system was also very natural, there was no abnormal noise, and in general, the power system of the Saina gave people a very stable and reliable feeling. The owner said that the fuel consumption of Sena is also very low, he drove 4230 kilometers, and the average fuel consumption is 62 liters for 100 km, which is very fuel-efficient in the same level of MPV, and Sena also has the advantage that you can add 92 gasoline, which can save a lot of fuel money.
Finally, let's take a look at the safety of Saina. The owner said that the safety of the Sena is also what he is more assured about, and the whole series of the Sena is equipped with Toyota's TSS2 as standard0 intelligent safety systems, including PCS pre-collision safety system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LTA lane tracking assist system, AHB automatic adjustment high beam system, RSA road sign recognition system, etc., these systems can help drivers avoid or mitigate accidents to a certain extent. The owner said that when he started the race, he felt that these systems were very sensitive, and sometimes took the initiative to remind him to pay attention to obstacles or lane deviations in front of him, so that he felt safer. The Sena is also equipped with seven airbags, including the driver's seat, passenger seat, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags, and driver's knee airbags, which can effectively protect the occupants in the event of a collision. The owner said that he has not encountered a brake failure or an airbag burst, but he believes in Toyota's quality, and he feels that the safety performance of the Sena is guaranteed.
In general, the owner's evaluation of Saina is relatively high, he feels that Saina is a very suitable MPV for family cars, its space, comfort, power, fuel consumption and safety can meet his needs, and Toyota's brand also reassures him. Of course, he also admitted that Saina has some shortcomings, such as the exterior of the rim is too small, the interior material is not luxurious enough, the sound insulation effect is not good enough, and it is not cheap, but he thinks these are acceptable and do not affect his love for Saina. He said he would recommend Sena to his friends and relatives because he felt that Sena was a good car to own.
