When it comes to MPV in the past, the first thing that comes to mind is a commercial vehicle. But now, MPV is no longer just a label for commercial vehicles, it also has the label of a family vehicle. With the changing needs of vehicles and the changes of the times, many people now choose MPV as the vehicle for family travel, especially for families with two or three children who want to go out together. MPV is undoubtedly the most comfortable vehicle.
Therefore, there are now many brands launching MPV models that are more inclined towards home use, such as the Volkswagen Veyron and Toyota’s Senna. Which of these two cars is more comfortable and suitable for dual use? Which car is more comfortable?
2024 Weyran
What is the biggest advantage of the MPV? That would be the comfortable seating. For most people, the reason for choosing an MPV is for traveling with more people, and the biggest need is the space in the third row. Looking at the wheelbase of the two cars, the 2024 Weiran has a wheelbase of 3180mm, which is 120mm longer than the Saina. More importantly, the third-row space of the 2024 Weiran has increased by 8cm. In terms of longitudinal spaciousness, the 2024 Weiran is naturally more advantageous than the Saina. This also means that when the car is fully occupied, there is no need to worry about who should sit in the third row because they are all very comfortable.
2024 Weyran
In terms of the actual experience of the third row, the seats of the 2024 Weiran are thicker, while the seats of the Saina appear much thinner. The advantage of thicker seats is that for medium to long-distance travel, passengers in the third row will not feel uncomfortable. In terms of space experience and the experience of adult passengers, the third-row space of the 2024 Weiran appears more spacious. Even when fully occupied, the third row can accommodate three adult passengers with enough space, which means that whether it’s a second child, a third child, or both parents, they can travel together conveniently and comfortably. At the same time, the second row also ensures a spacious legroom, while the Saina sacrifices more space in the second row to ensure comfortable seating for passengers in the third row. It is worth mentioning that the panoramic sunroof of the 2024 Weiran can be fully opened, increasing the light transmission and preventing the third-row passengers from feeling oppressed. On the other hand, the segmented sunroof of the Saina has a smaller opening range and slightly poorer light transmission. For some passengers who are a little older or prone to motion sickness, the strength of the light transmission will greatly affect their comfort, and this small detail is something that the 2024 Weiran considers more thoroughly compared to the Saina.
The 2024 Weiran Returning to the second row, the 2024 Weiran Captain Chair executive second-row courtesy seats use perforated leather craftsmanship with diamond-shaped texture, enhancing the exquisite feel while making the seats more breathable and comfortable. At the same time, the second-row seats are equipped with massage, ventilation, and heating functions, while the Sena only has ventilation and heating functions. In addition, the second-row seats of the 2024 Weiran have one more lumbar adjustment function compared to the Sena. Therefore, in terms of functionality, the second-row seats of the 2024 Weiran are more comfortable to sit in. In addition, the 2024 Weiran is equipped with adjustable buttons for the front passenger seat in the rear, while the Sena is not equipped with this feature. Perhaps the massage function and the adjustable buttons for the front passenger seat in the rear may seem to be used infrequently, but when you are driving yourself, going out to play in the mountains and water, the massage function can have a very good relaxing effect, and the lumbar adjustment can also allow passengers of different heights and body types to have a more comfortable posture when riding. When there are no passengers in the front passenger seat in the rear row, you can adjust the front passenger seat in the rear row by yourself, which is more convenient and quick.
2024 Weyran
In addition, the 2024 Weiran is equipped with multi-layer soundproof glass throughout the entire vehicle, while the Saina only has multi-layer soundproof glass in the front row. In terms of ride quietness, the 2024 Weiran is better than the Saina. This is a priority feature for both business and self-driving use, as it ensures smooth conversations in commercial use and provides a comfortable and quiet environment for resting during self-driving trips. Which car is smarter?
The 2024 Weiran In terms of intelligent functions, the functions of the two cars are quite comprehensive, and there is not much difference in comparison. However, the 2024 Weiran has made certain upgrades and enhancements to voice control on the original basis, with the system supplier changed to iFLYTEK, supporting voice cloning, multi-intent recognition, and context understanding, with better practical effects than the Sena. In addition, the 2024 Weiran supports CarPlay, while the Sena does not, which is slightly less friendly for iPhone users.
The 2024 Weiran In terms of driving assistance, both cars are equipped with L2 level driving assistance systems, with similar functions and high recognition and accuracy in practical use. However, in addition to its assistance functions, the 2024 Weiran has an automatic parking feature that the Saina does not have. Many people may not use this feature, but for an MPV car over 5 meters long, this feature can be useful at times. In addition, the L2 level driving assistance system can effectively improve safety and reduce fatigue during long trips or when tired, such as taking the family out for a day trip and activating the L2 level driving assistance system on the highway, which not only reduces fatigue but also to a certain extent ensures the safety of the journey.
In terms of other configurations, the 2024 Weiran is equipped with steering auxiliary lights, steering headlights, and front headlight rain and fog modes, while the Saina is equipped with LED headlights, but with the functions of the 2024 Weiran. In addition, the 2024 Weiran is equipped with Harman Kardon audio, while the Saina is equipped with JBL audio. In actual experience, the sound quality of Harman Kardon is slightly better. Which car is more suitable for dual use?
For today’s MPV car buyers, they often have dual needs. In addition to the internal factors, external factors are also a consideration. In comparison, the design language of the two cars has their own styles. From a business perspective, Volkswagen’s design appears more business-oriented, while Senna’s design appears more neutral.
When it comes to the interior, the 2024 Weiran’s interior materials appear to be more solid, with overall workmanship and attention to detail making the interior quality of the 2024 Weiran higher. In contrast, although the Saina has some small details in design, such as using stitching in many places to enhance the texture, the design and materials are slightly lacking, and the sense of grade is not as strong as the 2024 Weiran. In addition, the 2024 Weiran adopts a digital cockpit design, with the UI interface design of the dashboard and central control screen being more user-friendly, while the Saina’s UI interface is also convenient, but it looks more old-fashioned and lacks the technological feel of the 2024 Weiran. Which car has better performance?
The 2024 Weiran is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, while the Saina has a 2.5L engine with a front motor. In terms of power, the 2024 Weiran has a maximum horsepower of 220 and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, while the Saina has a maximum horsepower of 189 and a maximum torque of 236 Nm. The 2024 Weiran has the advantage in engine parameters, but the Saina has the support of a front motor. In actual testing, the acceleration performance of the two cars is very close. However, on highways, the 2024 Weiran’s engine power reserve advantage is more apparent, making it more agile in speed increases during high-speed driving. For example, when overtaking at high speeds, the 2024 Weiran has more explosive power compared to the Saina, making overtaking easier. This is a crucial point for safety during high-speed overtaking, as completing the overtaking maneuver quickly at high speeds can ensure safety, especially when overtaking large trucks, the rear power reserve becomes particularly important. Summary:
In comparing the two vehicles, the 2024 Weiran slightly holds the advantage in terms of ride comfort, features, and power compared to the Saina. In terms of price, both the base and top models of the Weiran are also slightly lower. Of course, choosing either car is a good choice, as they both have different characteristics. However, in terms of value for money, the 2024 Weiran is naturally higher and more suitable for dual use.
