Second generation (XP170; 2015–present)

The second generation Sienta debuted on July 9, 2015. It ditched the box-like shape of its predecessor for a new exterior design inspired by the shape of a trekking shoe and it features a large front grille as well as front and rear bumper garnishes that connects the lamps.
The minivan offers three interior layouts: 7-seater, 6-seater and 5-seater. Interior space has been increased in all areas compared to the previous generation model. There is also a hybrid variant, which returns under the Japanese JC08 cycle test, making it eligible for eco-car subsidies and tax incentives. The non-hybrid Sienta returns in FWD configuration. A “Stop & Start System” is offered as standard. The second generation Sienta is also the first to be sold in Hong Kong and is also available in Singapore.
The Sienta is available in X, G, Hybrid X and Hybrid G trim levels in Japan.
