It is also notable that a large number of high-quality convenience specifications have been applied. This is a differentiated marketing strategy
It is attributed to.
The Siena is either Dodge’s Grand Caravan or Hyundai’s Starex, Kia’s Grand Carnival, Chevrolet Orlando,
Direct and indirect market competition with Ssangyong Motor’s Rodius is inevitable.

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito (58) will also attend the launch presentation. Honda Global CEO Ito said in February 2009
It is my first time visiting Korea since I became CEO.
An official from Honda Korea said, “Celebrating the launch of ‘All New Civic’ with the 10th anniversary of Honda Korea’s establishment this year
It’s for that.” However, his visit to Korea, like Akio’s, has been intense this year
It is interpreted as an attempt to revitalize the Korean market, which suffered from sluggish sales.
Honda Korea once topped the list of imported cars with Accord, but this year’s Great Japan Earthquake
It is experiencing severe sales slump due to the strong yen. New all-new to be released this time due to sluggish launch of new cars
Civic is only Honda Korea’s second model to be introduced in Korea this year.

I’m going to meet with dealers in the afternoon.
CEO Ito’s visit to Korea will bring Toyota, Honda and Nissan’s CEOs to Korea this year
All right, then.
In June, Toyota President Akio was the first to visit Korea to encourage Toyota and dealers,

▲ Powerful engine performance, high-end convenience specifications are impressive
The Siena model introduced in Korea is 2.7 LE and 3.5 LIMITED. This test drive is 3.5 LIMITED
He took a test drive about 120 kilometers from Seoul to Chuncheon.
The 3.5LIMITED is equipped with a V6 dual VVT-i engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The maximum power is 266 horsepower
(6200 rpm), with a maximum torque of 33.9 kg.m (4700 rpm).
The car is off to a fresh start. Even though its body length is 5085 millimeters, the ride comfort is better than that of a sedan
Wind sound is also adequate at 80 kilometers, and it is stable even at high speeds of around 180 kilometers per hour. Sports
Powerful shift is possible when applied in the mode, so the driving taste can be enhanced according to the driver’s taste
There is.
In cornering between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour, the body is large and due to the nature of the minivan, the phenomenon of leaning is
It does appear, but not to the point where it doesn’t interfere with safety. I think braking is relatively loose, but it’s kind of like this
It seems to be because of the setting to gently stop the vehicle.
Its official fuel efficiency is 9.4 kilometers per liter, but it is below 7 kilometers per liter in actual driving. It seeks luxury
You can find ways to use it for various purposes in corporations and hotels.
Options include a large number of high-end convenience specifications. In addition to the ottoman seat, press the button to press the third row seat
Electronic that can be folded and provides a lightweight taste at low speed but heavy at high speed
It is also equipped with a power steering system (EPS).
Combine ABS, EBD, brake assist, TRC and EPS functions to drive or rotate the vehicle
VSC (Vehicle Position Control System) is included to maintain the best performance during braking.
Siena, however, is a basic convenience, such as an auto-lighting system or navigation system that is useful for tunneling
It is regrettable that the specifications are excluded. In particular, only 2WD was applied to the Siena introduced this time, but snow and
Considering Korea’s rainy terrain, the application of the 4WD system in the future is essential.
▲ The competitiveness of the Toyota Siena is…
The domestic minivan market is worth less than 50,000 units a year. However, consumers’ lifestyles
Demand for minivans is expected to grow in the future as they are rapidly changing.
Toyota Siena is actually aiming for a niche market. With the motto of “luxury minivan,” more than ordinary people
This is because it focuses on high-end target groups.
Toyota Korea aims to sell 50 units of Siena a month and 600 units a year,
Internally, sales of 1,000 units per year are expected to be achieved without difficulty.
The reason for this is that sedans were popular in the Korean market just a few years ago, but hatchbacks and
Wagon, it is because the demand for minivans is increasing rapidly.
Sienna’s domestic sales price is 42.9 million won for 2.7 LE and 49.9 million won for 3.5LIMITED.
