The four door saloon variant is designed to cater especially for tropical markets where a three-box design is desired. It is the same as the Palio four door except for the well proportioned boot grafted onto the rear of the car, the overall result being a pleasing small saloon. The rear has an unusual treatment with a horizontal swage in the boot matching the rear light clusters. Given the higher status of a saloon over a hatchback, generally (although it depends on the market) the Siena had a higher specification than the Palio.
