What brand is the Senia car?

Senia is a car brand under Daihatsu. Here is some relevant information about Senia: Introduction: Produced by FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd. As an important part of FAW Group's minivan independent strategy, the Senia M80 is derived from Toyota's innovative multi-purpose global strategic vehicle platform and is equipped with the latest DVVT dual dynamic variable valve timing system and AT transmission imported from Japan's Daihatsu. Powertrain: The power is good, and the driving experience is relaxed. The Senia model comes with two engines, with displacements of 1.5L and 1.3L. The 1.5L engine has two tuning options, meeting National III and National IV emission standards respectively. The National III engine is equipped with an OBD system, which can meet increasingly stringent emission standards and also comply with the environmental access systems of different regions.

Speaking of Senia, this brand is quite a storied veteran among domestic Chinese car brands. It was jointly developed in 2007 by FAW Jilin and Japan's Daihatsu, utilizing Daihatsu's highly mature DART platform technology at the time, with its engine and chassis carrying Toyota lineage DNA, making it exceptionally reliable to drive. The most iconic Senia M80 back then emphasized versatility, capable of handling both urban cargo hauling and family trips. Its engine was particularly durable, and fuel consumption was remarkably well-controlled, making it especially popular in small towns. However, around 2015, Daihatsu withdrew from the partnership, after which it was entirely under FAW Jilin's umbrella for continued production for a while.

When I bought the first car for my family, I considered the Senia! It's specifically designed as an affordable model for ordinary families and is a brand under the FAW Group. Initially developed in collaboration with a Japanese automaker, its quality and craftsmanship are definitely reliable among domestic brands. The Senia M80's design, where the rear seats can be completely folded flat, is particularly practical. Last time I helped a friend move, we even managed to fit a refrigerator inside. Although the car doesn't look very big, it's no exaggeration to call it a space magician. In previous years, it was very common on the roads of third- and fourth-tier cities, and many small shop owners liked using it for hauling goods. Unfortunately, new models have become increasingly rare in recent years, but you can still find well-maintained ones in the used car market.

Friends who are into classic cars must remember the Ssenia brand. Its most impressive feature was the use of Daihatsu's K3-VE engine, a 1.5L VVT technology that was quite advanced around 2010. The body was built on Daihatsu's famous D platform, with a front MacPherson and rear five-link suspension tuned for comfort. The logo was a green leaf-like emblem, and spotting another Ssenia on the road would often lead to a friendly flash of headlights between enthusiasts! However, the later generation model, the Ssenia R7, switched to a domestic engine, and the charm was lost. Nowadays, car connoisseurs still take a second glance when they spot a well-preserved first-gen Ssenia.
