newToyota『Sienta]has expanded the living space with a new platform. It is said that it is not only useful for everyday use, but also for family camping, traveling with your dog, and outdoor activities. What regarding sleeping in the car?
From the conclusion, there is no problem at all. Originally, Sienta’s seat arrangement was diverse, and it was inherited even if it became a new model. There are 7-seater and 5-seater settings, but we recommend the 5-seater model for outdoor use. “Sienta” has the meaning of “7” for seven people, but this is only for emergency use and is not intended for constant operation with seven people. In the case of outdoors, luggage space is important, so I would like to consider handling luggage and sleeping in the car with a seat arrangement for five people.
For normal sleeping in the car, the rear seats are laid flat to secure a space to lie down together with the luggage compartment. Sienta will also basically have this form. Modellista will release a 2-meter-long air sleeve mat. 2 adults can stay in the car. When flattened, the space between the seat and the seat can also be used as a storage space. Although it is a compact car size, it is also good that the protrusion of the rear tire housing is minimal.
Another pattern is that the front seats (driver’s seat and passenger’s seat) can be flattened to create a relaxing bed using the backrest of the rear seat. In this case, it won’t go completely flat, but it’s fine for rest and naps.
The next important thing for staying in the car is the AC100V outlet. Although it is an option setting, the new Sienta can attach AC outlets (100V / 1500W) in two places, the luggage compartment and the instrument panel. If it is on the front and back, it may not be necessary to route the wiring with a table tap or the like.
Although it is not for sleeping in the car, a roof circulator can be installed as an option. It efficiently sends the wind from the air conditioner to the rear seats and the third row.
