0 -> If you are thinking about MPVs, you are probably thinking

2.387 -> boring, unsexy, nah but this

6.403 -> Toyota Sienta Hybrid is going to change your mind about all of that

9.396 -> It's a kind of unsexy car that's really appealing

12.962 -> and we are going to find out why today with the Toyota Sienta Hybrid

15.362 -> Let's go

27.8 -> Did you know you could be losing up to $5000 in value when you trade in your car?

31.693 -> For example, if you want to buy this Toyota Sienta Hybrid and thinking about trading in your car

35.364 -> Try selling with Quotz instead

37.325 -> Quotz uses its network of dealers to get you the best price possible

40.491 -> In fact, they're so confident on getting you the best price

42.591 -> if you sell your car for a higher price, they will give you $100

44.388 -> Don't just take our word for it, look at the hundreds of raving reviews on their service

49.623 -> To find out more visit quotz.com.sg

54.489 -> Let's check out this Toyota Sienta Hybrid

74.6 -> For more details on the Toyota Sienta Hybrid or any other car

77.512 -> head onto sgcarmart.com to help you make the smart choice on your next car

89.882 -> Over by the front of this Toyota Sienta Hybrid it is all new, redesigned

93.858 -> totally different from the second generation

96.374 -> but I think it goes back to the first generation when it was a little bit more cutesy, less aggressive

101.118 -> Where the second generation was a bit more, fierce and sharp lines

103.696 -> this is just back to like cute, no sharp lines non-aggressive

108.172 -> Check out this hood, it's totally creaseless

111.736 -> it's just a flow of sheet metal which looks good to me

115.094 -> It is after all a family MPV

117.191 -> You are going to get all new LED daytime running lights as well as for the headlamps and signal indicators

122.299 -> Toyota badging up here, and a very plastic grille

125.62 -> I think it serves it well because it is a Hybrid, and it's kind of going more eco-conscious

130.943 -> You are not going to find more metal, just more plastics and I think it looks nice

134.894 -> You are also going to get a new front splitter down here

138.155 -> Now let's check out the sides

140.06 -> The Sienta will only come in one trim and that's the Elegance trim

142.662 -> You are going to get 15 inch rims, in this new modern looking rims which I think look not too bad

148.066 -> There's "HYBRID" badging on the sides to indicate its "hybrid-ness" and eco-conscious

151.65 -> and the "SIENTA" wording all around

153.88 -> and this is an automatic door, so it is easy for your passengers to get in or out

157.067 -> you don't have to worry about them opening too hard and dinging the other cars

161.069 -> One thing I find really interesting, check out this fuel cap

163.944 -> This is so tiny I don't know why

166.839 -> I think it's fitting, it's a cute car it looks good, now let's check out the rear

172.152 -> At the rear, check out these all new redesigned tail lights

175.089 -> and check out this plastic trim that they overlaid over the lights

178.977 -> this what I really like about cars they make

181.784 -> it doesn't have to be expensive but they make simple look really good

185.694 -> and that is something that this Sienta does

187.721 -> This is going to be the windshield wiper fluid dispenser, and a rear wiper

191.625 -> A little "sienta" badging very subtly in the black plastic

194.785 -> and of course the "HYBRID" badging

196.388 -> While you do get powered doors on the sides, you are not going to get a powered tailgate

200.189 -> and there is only going to be one trim so no optional upgrades as of now

205.077 -> You are going to open up to a sizeable boot

208.04 -> for a third row up MPV of this category

211.521 -> it's understandably not too big but it is

214.024 -> usable, look we can still keep the Auntie Trolley

217.222 -> tall, it is obviously not going to pass lengthwise

219.687 -> but it is still tall and can still stand inside with the door closed and the rear seats up

224.192 -> and the luggage

228.824 -> Curiously you can put the third row seats down but underneath

232.313 -> you are not going to find the tire repair kit, it's just going to be a battery

236.271 -> and then the tow hook is in here

238.311 -> and the tire repair kit is inside here

242.157 -> Being a very usable MPV

245.317 -> if you want to push down the third row seats

247.274 -> say you are not going to have anybody sitting here

249.315 -> you can even have the third row floor completely flat because

252.83 -> these third row seats go underneath the second row seats

256.392 -> and that's amazing design, let's check it out

260.621 -> How are we going to do this?

268.975 -> So after a good 15 minutes, and the five of us have

273.063 -> worked our way around it, we figured it out how to fold the third row seats down

276.732 -> First you got to make sure that the second row seats are pulled all the way forward

280.419 -> and then you lift this tab and you just watch the magic happen

283.535 -> There you go this is access to the third row seats

286.023 -> as well as if you want to make the third row flat

288.827 -> then I pull on this tab to unlock the seat from the latch below

291.823 -> and give it a gentle push

294.758 -> and there we go

296.904 -> it's flat underneath the second row seats

299.093 -> but still I have to push the second row seats down

302.118 -> and then pull this to put the seats back down

307.147 -> There you have it, a very large, flat third row boot

311.731 -> With the third row seats completely down, this is a lot of usable space

315.312 -> They are not even just folded, they are folded under the second row

318.796 -> check out this amount of cargo space

321.466 -> the Auntie Trolley goes all the way in

324.138 -> the luggage as well, and not to forget that it is not just this amount

328.243 -> because it is an MPV you get so much usable space if you are not using the third row seats

335.305 -> Over by the third row, this is the second row

339.135 -> all the way in front as far as it will go

341.428 -> and with the third row however because of the stuff that is in the back

343.572 -> the third row can actually recline a little bit

345.923 -> but because we have the Auntie Trolley and luggage at the back

348.755 -> if the Sienta is full stocked up, this is the size that you are going to get

352.76 -> As you can see, I am 1.75m, there is plenty of headroom

355.374 -> but legroom wise I am literally pressing against the second row

359.949 -> and this is as far forward as it will go

362.209 -> In terms of amenities, you are not going to get a dome light in the third row

364.969 -> you are not going to get aircon, it's just cup holders

367.809 -> and pretty much yeah, there are no chargers

370.295 -> just two seats in the rear in the third row

374.983 -> In the second row of the Sienta, it's going to be a very comfortable space

378 -> especially if you don't have any passengers in the rear

380.489 -> It is a front wheel drive, front engine car

382.975 -> so no transmission tunnel, it is completely flat

385.397 -> and if there is nobody behind you can actually

387.959 -> set your seat back further and even

390.402 -> recline it further so it can really be a very comfortable position

395.266 -> I really like the way they used this fabric design

399.185 -> It doesn't have to be expensive, but it looks really good it's so cosy

403.077 -> like a cottage in the woods, and it's very fantastic

406.478 -> You are not going to get any aircon, just a dome light

409.01 -> but you have two USB-C charging ports

411.385 -> in the back of the driver's seat and also

413.465 -> two little pocket compartments here which are really nice

415.951 -> but you don't have any magazine holders, you do have cup holders on the side

419.72 -> and of course the electronic doors

421.777 -> In terms of safety, you are going to get ISOFIX points here, here, and here

427.954 -> One further touch that I like

429.507 -> in addition to the electric doors, this is a built in

434.181 -> privacy screen, so you can block out the sun

436.383 -> but also keep out the stares

438.7 -> Imagine just lounging in this Sienta and

443.082 -> Very comfortable, good touch, very nice one

446.829 -> Let's check out the front

450.401 -> Over by the cockpit of the of the Toyota Sienta, this is another

453.59 -> very delightful, well thought out space

456.344 -> I think that if this is the future of Toyota's design

459.139 -> I am going to be a really big fan

460.933 -> You are going to more of the fabric finish across the front

463.607 -> and plenty of usable space in this MPV

466.778 -> bottle holder here, and here

468.8 -> This is something that I think a lot of people have gripes about because

471.79 -> the many people that have seen this car they have always

474.897 -> This is where the door handle is, it's not here, a lot in fact

478.222 -> all of the people that have sat in this car have all went

480.87 -> "Hey where's the door handle" but that is just a small thing

483.723 -> You are going to get a full digital display in the front

487.889 -> You can see elements of previous Toyota designs

490.358 -> which to be honest I am not that big of a fan of

492.959 -> but this new one looks a lot better, almost feels like the one in the Honda Jazz

497.736 -> really well designed, and this new steering wheel as well

500.347 -> I like the materials on it, the finish it feels really good

504.131 -> In the center you are going to get a newer multimedia infotainment system

508.652 -> with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

511.158 -> so that's always a good thing, this kind of looks a bit aged

516 -> but it looks better than the previous generation Toyota infotainment system

519.901 -> and more importantly with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

522.752 -> you don't even have to look at it because you can just load up your Spotify or your maps

527.042 -> However there is no wireless charging which is a bit weird for a 2022 car

531.68 -> but you get two USB-C charging points here

534.288 -> This is my phone that is plugged in, and this is the Toyota key that comes with it

538.484 -> One thing that I don't really get about this multimedia system

541.529 -> Check it out, this is car here but that is not a Sienta I think

545.353 -> it looks like a Supra but I am not sure

547.869 -> there is that light bar that looks a bit different but it does have the silhouette of a Supra

551.652 -> or you can choose an Altis

554.196 -> everything but a Sienta, that's a Prius

556.834 -> so it is a bit weird because when you start up your multimedia system

560.513 -> that car is there but it is not a Sienta

562.877 -> but anyway, most people will just go over to Android Auto

565.667 -> In the Sienta you are going to find the same aircon design as other Toyotas

569.071 -> and this is the gear shifter from a Prius

572.034 -> or other Toyota Hybrids, that are also going to be in future Lexuses

576.108 -> Here you have you EV Mode, Drive Mode

578.484 -> and this does not come with an Electronic Parking bread

580.869 -> it is a manual footbrake which I still think it feels very nice because

585.112 -> it frees up all this space here, there is no cubby space

588.549 -> but you do get an armrest

590.144 -> Now over to the passenger side, there is going to be plenty of usable space as well

594.196 -> This little cubby space with dividers to stop your things from sliding all across the dashboard

598.888 -> hooks here and then a cup holder

600.937 -> and of course the glovebox

602.771 -> So this is a really well done, thought out space by Toyota

606.531 -> I am really enjoying this, and of course an MPV thing

611.078 -> a hidden away storage so you can hide more things inside here

614.612 -> out of sight from people outside

616.648 -> Let's go see how this thing drives

628.2 -> Driving the Toyota Sienta Hybrid, what does it feel like? Apart from its

631.779 -> radical looks on the outside, I have to say this is one of the most

635.577 -> comfortable, one of the most relaxing cars that I have driven this year

640.206 -> and I have driven cars like the Audi S8, which is like the top of the line from Audi

647.744 -> but this is just on another level

650.762 -> It is a Category A COE package, MPV 7-seater Toyota Hybrid

654.998 -> and it just delivers so much comfort, so much smoothness

658.223 -> The Toyota Hybrid system, I believe this is some sort of CVT drive

663.228 -> it is just seamless, I am doing 55km/h on the Lornie highway right now

670.959 -> Tapping a little bit into the end of the eco band

674.323 -> where it is using EV mode, and a little bit of the engine

676.794 -> but if I go into a lighter foot

680.179 -> it is purely running on EV mode and it is super quiet

682.747 -> and because Toyota Hybrids are unparalleled

686.534 -> They have been developing the Prius Hybrids for decades now, they started in the early 2000s

691.364 -> and so this is the pinnacle, this is the result of

694.925 -> so much R&D, road testing, they have just been

698.23 -> attacking the hybrids for such a long time that

701.394 -> they are just the muscles of it, no other brand's hybrids I feel

704.547 -> come close in terms of fuel consumption and smoothness

708.703 -> If you are a family man buying the Sienta, you are probably

712.728 -> the whole point is to fetch the family around

715.214 -> and if you have little tykes and a wife to pick up

718.444 -> This fuel consumption goes a long way, and that's why this Sienta is

724.645 -> It's really such a beautiful thing, it 's a compact form factor

729.333 -> It is really easy to see, my vision my 360 view is

735.382 -> absolutely amazing, blindspots I don't really feel it at all

742.587 -> In terms of power when you kick it down, you are going to get Cat A power

746.234 -> it is not amazing but I think

748.922 -> the upside of that is that you are going to get amazing fuel consumption

752.821 -> but you also don't expect that kind of power from a Sienta Hybrid

757.676 -> but it is enough to get day to day driving and the family

760.841 -> I think it's a really great product for its segment and I am really impressed by it

766.771 -> In terms of safety systems, you are going to get Toyota Safety Sense

769.418 -> I don't blind spot monitors, alerts on the mirrors but

774.147 -> I do get Smart Cruise Control, as well as Lane Keeping Assist

777.287 -> If you stray away from the lane you are going to hear a little bit of a warning beep

781.023 -> Let's see if I can toggle that right now

784.933 -> It's pulling me back in, there you go that's the alert

790.514 -> If you are worried, the Toyota Safety Sense in the Sienta

795.425 -> is a pretty good package and for its price as well

799.169 -> it's doing really well

811.686 -> So the Toyota Sienta Hybrid, is this car a Will Buy, Won't Buy, or Go Try?

815.495 -> If you ask me, this car is an absolute Will Buy

819.102 -> In fact, I would buy this and I am not even a family man yet

823.154 -> but I really like it, this car is so well thought out

828.95 -> it's so much car put into this price, very competitive in the market

833.635 -> Maybe you would think for an all new car in the market

837.352 -> they might price it maybe 20-30% higher than its competitors

840.914 -> but no this is a very competitive package

844.223 -> and a lot of new car that is being put into this package

847.691 -> If you can get pass its looks which I feel I could because

851.609 -> to be honest when I first saw the car, the images online I felt like

855.272 -> "What did they do to the Sienta?"

857.321 -> Seeing it in person, it looks a lot better

861.166 -> it looks really cute, if I would have this car I would probably get it

865.366 -> Paint it in a red and yellow tone, like the cosy coupe

870.434 -> and then for a little bit more fun, you can put a little white

875.431 -> hand painted signage at the side to make it look like a JB taxi

879.38 -> It looks really good, the interior looks amazing

884.035 -> you are going to get plenty of usability in the rear

887.587 -> whether or not it's a 7-seater, if not you can just

890.736 -> put down the rear seats for a massive amount of space

895.421 -> and it's really so, I cannot emphasise enough

899.453 -> how comfortable it is to drive, so relaxing

903.679 -> and then you have the fuel savings

905.849 -> I think this car really knocks it out of the park

910.417 -> Right now I am driving(own) a performance car

914.414 -> I think it's saying a lot that

916.694 -> even though this is a Cat A, it's what you would call a "boring car"

921.131 -> it's not a performance car, it's not meant to go fast

925.549 -> but I am absolutely smitten with everything that this car provides

930.928 -> and that's why this car is going to be an absolutely Will Buy

934.897 -> That's it, that's our review of the Toyota Sienta Hybrid
