The Toyota Sienta is a small subcompact minivan with sliding doors sold only in Japan, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Singapore and Kenya. Introduced in September 2003, it seats 7 despite its very small size. It features avant-garde styling that is very similar to the Renault Twingo.
The Toyota Sienta is a 3-row, 7-seat mini MPV based on the popular Toyota Vitz subcompact car. Built as a fun family vehicle, the Sienta comes with a distinct front and a lavish interior.

This is a car commonly seen in Japan, due to its easy maintenance, low fuel consumption for an MPV ranging from 12 km/l to 16 km/l, and its great sliding doors. The car can also be found in Hong Kong and Singapore thru parallel imports.
The Sienta received a facelift in 2006, 3 years after its first production. New colors were added, such as Apple Green, Gun-Metal Grey, and Metallic Blue. Another upgrade found on the facelifted models is double electric-powered sliding doors.
Powered by a 1.5 liter petrol VVT-i engine capable of 110 bhp (82 kW) at 6000 rpm, the Sienta comes equipped with CVT transmission for smooth effortless cruising. ABS and EBD are standard safety features.
For model year 2007 on Japanese models only, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, is offered as an option.
Toyota cut the Sienta from the lineup in Autumn 2010 due to its age, despite it still selling quite well. It was reintroduced unchanged (except for renamed trim levels and a new sports model, Sienta Dice, with more aggressive styling) in May 2011 in the aftermath of the March 11th Earthquake and Tsunami.
Toyota Sienta is commonly used in Kenya as a PSV car. This car is referred to as "Shorio" by Kamakwa residents from the fertile Hills of Nyeri, Kenya. The car is the choice mode of transport for Harrison Muchiri of USAID.
Interior packaging concept
The interior is highly flexible with the seats able to be knocked down in various configurations to accommodate varying luggage sizes. Multiple compartments are available in convenient areas of the cabin for easy storage of small items. Large sliding doors at the rear ensures ease of entry for passengers.

An all-new second generation debuted on July 9, 2015. The second generation ditches the box-like shape of its predecessor for a sporty exterior design inspired by the shape of a trekking shoe, and it features a massive front grille as well as front and rear bumper garnishes that connects the lights.[2]
The minivan offers three interior layouts: 7-seater, 6-seater, and 5-seater (for wheelchair users). Interior space has been increased in all areas compared to the previous generation model. There is also a hybrid variant, which returns 27.2 km/L (3.6 l/100 km or 63.9 mpg US) under the Japan’s JC08 test cycle, making it eligible for eco-car subsidies and tax incentives. The non-hybrid Sienta returns 20.6 km/L (4.8 l/100 km or 48.4 mpg US) in 2WD configuration. A “Stop & Start System” is offered as standard.[3] The second generation is also the first to be sold in Hong Kong.
The Sienta is available in G, X, Hybrid X and Hybrid G in Japan.
