Toyota has completely redesigned its popular Sienna family van, complete with four distinct trim levels. One of the most polarizing trim levels for the Sienna is the SE -- a sporty variant of the van, complete with a 265 horsepower, 245 lb-ft of torque 3.5-liter V6.
Riding on the same MC platform that underpins the Camry, Prius, RAV4, Venza and Highlander, Toyota is aiming the new Sienna at families that need more space that a traditional sedan or crossover can provide. Toyota is also hoping that empty-nesters will give the new Sienna consideration for its luxurious and spacious interior.
Designed at Toyota's facilities in southern California, the all-new Sienna takes most of its styling cues from the 2006 F3R concept. Up front the Sienna sport a face familiar to that seen on the Venza crossover, giving the minivan a more aggressive look than the outgoing model. Toyota engineers managed to hide the van's sliding door tracks, allowing for a slicker overall look. The rear of the new Sienna is highlighted by LED taillights.
Sienna buyers will be able to choose between a 265 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 or the same 187 horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 186 lb-ft of torque that is currently used in the Venza crossover. The four-cylinder motor is good for 19 city, 24 highway mpg, the V6 is rated at 18/25 mpg and both engines come mated to a six-speed automatic.
Traction-enhancing all-wheel-drive is available on V6-equipped models. The Sienna's mileage drops to 17 city, 23 highway with AWD.
The Sienna LE will be positioned as the base-model van and is expected to be the most popular model. Opting for the XLE trim level will add leather seating and a moon roof. The top-billing in the Sienna lineup will be the Limited model. A number of options will also be available, including a new 180 degree rear camera and a split-screen rear entertainment system.
For young buyers not looking to give up driving excitement, Toyota will offer a sport-oriented SE model. The SE model will feature a sport-tuned suspension, tuned steering, a unique front fascia with sport grille and 19-inch wheels, rear-exit exhaust that is molded into the rear bumper, as well as a specially trimmed interior.
Key competitors
The strong-selling Sienna is often cross-shopped with the Honda Odyssey, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and to an extent, the Ford Flex large crossover.
