The best way to describe the Sienta would be as a very functionality and capable 7-seater MPV that sells for less than most sedans. This is a compact family vehicle with two extra seats for those times when the in-laws come visiting or when you want to bring along some friends. There is also rear air conditioning with vents on the ceiling pushing cool air right to the rear. It has it own controls and large vents. This is great feature for ASEAN humidity.
The stance of the Sienta is like a large hatchback, low and wide where many people curbside would not know there are three rows of seats inside.
Seats for Seven
The two seats in the third-row are somewhat tight but for occasional people moving they are fine and access is very good with the center row easily folding forward. There is nothing about its space or the comfort and adjustability of the front seats to raise an eye-brow and with all seats in use there is space for duffel bags in the boot.

You will find it difficult to find such good build quality and interior in the competition. Definitely its competitors will be worried after their own evaluation and we are happy to say that this Sienta is at a level up on all of them. For a family of 6-7 persons, which have an active life, the Sienta will not disappoint. Better to take your own family test drive and feel the difference the Sienta offers.
