2016 Toyota Etios NAV1 and Sink, Will Appear Sienta

Although the automotive market in 2016 in the country is expected to remain the same condition by 2015 makes several Agent licensee (APM) designed a strategy to through it. Including the Toyota Astra Motor, which already has an agenda strategy in 2016.

Reportedly some variants will be "closing the books" to be replaced a new variant to tempt the market. It seems NAV 1 and Etios Valco has become the "target" Toyota to end production.

For information NAV1 Toyota first launched in December 2012 and only got a refresher after two years of its emergence. Car Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) medium was reportedly stopped production began in 2016 in Indonesia.

Viewed wholesales sales data (from the factory to the dealership) issued by the Indonesian Automotive Industry Association (Gaikindo) in the period from January to November 2015, the NAV1 sales reached 541 units, while throughout 2014 only 535 units.

As for the Etios Valco was first produced in 2013 have apparently failed to seize the sub-compact vehicle market segment A. In addition to the features offered minimal, the price is not far adrift with Avanza lowest type. In the data Gaikindo Etios Valco sales recorded in January-November 2015 as many as 5,137 units.

Another indication in this regard, the lack of stock of the two variants in the authorized Toyota dealer. Even sales Sindonews encountered at 2000 Auto dealers in the area of ​​Central and South Jakarta stated the same thing.

"Consumers now prefer Avanza than NAV1 or Etios Valco. Moreover, the price of Etios not much different with Avanza variants at the bottom. Consumers who want to buy NAV1 also fell, apart from a bit also no additional stock again for two cars," said sales are not anonymity, Thursday (12/31/2015).

So what's substitute 2 variants will be lost? In 2016 one plans TAM will present TOYOTA SIENTA. In fact, this car will be produced in Indonesia.

Production will be a matter for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN), and is rumored to be using factory Karawang Plant III in an industrial area Karawang, West Java.

This is reinforced when the TMMIN owned factory will produce engines, one engine capacity of 1.5-liter (latest generation).

During this time, TOYOTA SIENTA which has a sliding door that is still produced at Toyota's plant in Ohira Miyagi, Japan. Sienta comes from the merger of the Spanish word "Siente" meaningful "7" and the British "Entertainment".

Indeed, between Toyota NAV1 and TOYOTA SIENTA different segments, but if Toyota 'lethal injection' Toyota NAV1 not seem to be worried because it has been overcome by the all-new Toyota Kijang Innova Q (top type). Meanwhile, Sienta position will be slightly above Toyota Veloz. We wait for official word that would soon be disclosed TAM.
