About Toyota Sienna
Minivans aren’t exactly prestigious. They aren’t thrilling. However, when it comes to maximum versatility and simplicity of use, the ultimate box on wheels is unrivaled. The Toyota Sienna (which looks more like a jelly bean) is six model years old and lacks the usability and practicality of younger competitors such as the Honda Odyssey or the Kia Sedona. However, it remains one of the best minivan options. Toyota has prioritized safety, quality, and performance with the Sienna. This minivan also has an outstanding reputation for dependability, a high expected resale value, and a smooth motor.
There are three trim levels to choose from: the entry-level CE, the midlevel LE, and the top-tier XLE. All come equipped with five doors and seating for seven people. The CE is essentially a low-cost stripper designed to entice customers to the dealer lot. Its degree of material can be increased through ordering options, although the popular LE is a better alternative. This model includes power-operated rear-quarter windows, power windows and locks, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted audio buttons, and a full-size spare tire. Toyota equips the XLE with multiadjustable power front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, automatic climate control, a premium sound system, keyless entry, and a roof rack, in addition to the LE’s amenities.
A passenger-side power sliding door (the XLE can have twin power sliding doors), a towing package with a 3,500-pound capacity, dual air conditioning, heated front seats and side mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and enhanced audio systems are among the major choices. XLE purchasers can also choose leather seats, a power sunroof, and a CD changer. There is an entertainment system available, but it just has a video cassette player and no DVD player. When purchasing, keep in mind that the majority of the Sienna’s amenities are available in bundles.
