Toyota is officially named “That”, did not use Sener per license because Citroen?

I look forward to such a year of domestic Toyota Seast, finally came. However, Toyota has announced a Chinese name before domestic, on June 20th. Get our familiar Sena to the “That”. In fact, the original “Senna” is only translated by his English name Sienna. Toyota official has never said it is what the Chinese name is.

In the event of a domestic product, Toyota announced the name of Sienna Chinese. Why did Toyota do not follow the public opinion, it is called it Sena, but it is re-taken What about a Chinese name? In fact, there have been another car brand behind this, that is, Citroen.

Citroen as a French car brand, is always known as romantic. Citroen also uses French classic names and traditions to name the model. For example, we are familiar with Picasso, Saija, and Versailles who have just announced that they will be listed.

Therefore, it is possible that Citroen has already registered the Chinese name of Saina in advance, so Toyota can’t use Senna in China. But Sienna’s car has been deeply rooted. If you change a new name, then the user accepts time, so Toyota simply uses the characteristics of multi-tone words in Chinese, giving Sienna “That”.

The Citroen version of Saija is actually Xsara from the French name.

Saijai (XSARA) is the launch of Citroen in 1997 to replace ZX (Fukang)  upgrade model, walking mechanism and zx, Peugeot 306 basically . In 2002, finally changed version N7, and put into production of Exclusive 2.0 displacement version in China. Domestic Dongfeng Citroen Samena debuted in Hangzhou on April 16, 2003. In France and Spain, Saija has 3/5-door cuts and 5 tropical models, and the Chinese  is 5 horizontal. Citroen applied some appearance and interior elements of Saina in the Chinese localized model Alishe. Saiuan-Picasso model also subsequently put into production in China.

When Saija is the most powerful, it is more than a few seasons of the WRC. In 2001, the Saija WRC racing has appeared in the stadium. It has achieved quite good results in 03, 04, 05, and will bring this car to the altar. However, domestic Saija did not achieve particularly good results. Since the Citroen Fukang is a great success in the Chinese market. Users are not willing to spend more money to buy a car that looks with Fukang. Therefore, Sauna did not achieve a particularly good sales score.

Citroen named Saina for the vehicle perhaps because of the French Seine, it is 776.6 kilometers long, including the total river basin The area is 78,700 square kilometers; it is one of the historic big rivers in Europe, and the transportation of its drainage network accounts for most of the French inland shipping.

Citroen has always been used to name the tradition to the car, and the Versailles is a very hot model. Versailles I don’t know that I still have a wave. However, Citroen is actually registered in the Versailles 20 years ago, so the three words of the vendor can be used in the Versailles, and only Citroen is also available.
