Although in the current new car market there are not many models that can be called equal competitors to the Toyota Calya. Except for the twin of a neighboring brand, namely Daihatsu Sigra.
Overview of the Toyota Calya
Toyota Calya itself first paved in Indonesia in August 2016.
This model is here to complement Toyota’s product line in the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) segment, especially the Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) model.
Low prices, cabins fit many passengers, and fuel efficiency are some of the attractions it offers.

Exterior Comparison of Toyota Calya and Daihatsu Sigra
The exterior of the two cars, of course, has some differences, for example in the face.
The front view of the Toyota Calya is filled with a wide enough grille and a fog lamp housing that is positioned vertically.
Meanwhile, Daihatsu Sigra has a grille that looks smaller.
Then the existence of the front bumper on this car seems to separate the upper and lower grille.
The fog lamp housing on the Daihatsu Sigra is also made wider than that of the Toyota Calya.
The rim design between the two models also has some differences.
Then for several variants, the Daihatsu Sigra body can be said to be a little more crowded because of the sticker attached.
Interior Comparison of Toyota Calya and Daihatsu Sigra
Broadly speaking, the interior of the two models both have a 7-seater configuration, so they are suitable as an alternative family vehicle.
The difference lies in the color combination used.
The interior of the Toyota Calya is more colorful with a mix of brown and black on the dashboard and several other parts.
Meanwhile, the interior of the Daihatsu Sigra is consistently dark with a black bandage.
Feature Comparison
The two cars are practically equivalent in terms of basic safety features.
Both Toyota Calya and Daihatsu Sigra feature Dual SRS Airbags, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), and Brake Assist (BA).
Those are some points of comparison between the Toyota Calya and its competitor and twin, Daihatsu Sigra.
Apart from that, until now there are still many questions circulating about this car on the internet.
What’s the difference between a Calya machine and a Sigra machine?
Basically there is no difference between the Calya and Sigra engines, especially for the 1.2L model.
However, besides that, Sigra also has a 1.0L engine option. This option cannot be found on the Toyota Calya.
Toyota Calya Is it Wasteful?
The Toyota Calya itself is an LCGC. According to the regulations, this kind of car is expected to reach a fuel consumption level of 20 km per liter.
However, the level of fuel efficiency of a vehicle depends on several things, such as driving style, fuel quality and traffic conditions.
LCGC Use What Fuel?
According to the regulations, LCGC cars must use gasoline with octane 92 or diesel with CN 51.
Unfortunately, the reality on the ground is that there are still many stubborn LCGC owners using fuel that they shouldn’t.
What is the price of the newest Toyota Calya?
Monitoring in February 2023, the price of the latest Toyota Calya is in the price range of IDR 161.7 million to IDR 184.4 million.
