High Points

Low Points

Performance and Handling

Gas Mileage

EPA estimates for the Toyota Sienna are 19/26 MPG for the CE, LE, XLE Front Wheel Drive trims and 17/23 MPG for the LE and XLE All Wheel Drive trims. The fuel tank capacity on all trims of the Sienna is 20 gallons.

Safety

Exactly what you would expect. Side curtain airbags are now standard. A rear view camera is an option and all wheel drive and vehicle stability control are available. Performs very well in government crash tests.

Reliability and Maintenance

Interior and Comforts

Interior cabin of the Toyota Sienna
  • The Sienna's driving position is comfortable with outstanding visibility. * The stereo and A/C controls are logical and easy to use.
  • The side doors have roll-down windows (though they only roll down 2/3rds of the way).
  • The second row has captains chair or the "8 passenger" option which is three independent seats that create a 3 person bench in the second row. Great if you have 6 kids, but extremely cumbersome to get around to get to the back seat. It’s difficult to put these seats in and out and the pop up mechanism to get around them is not great. The third-row seat is the Sienna's best feature. The seat splits in the back and either piece folds into the cargo floor perfectly flat. With the seat up (or partially up), there's excellent storage in the well. Both of the side doors and the tailgate can be power-operated depending on the trim level.
  • The side doors move okay manually, the rear door is heavy and cumbersome – the automatic rear door highly recommended.

Exterior

Styles and Options

The Toyota Sienna is offered in 4 different trims (CE, LE, XLE, and Limited) and available with 29 different option packages.
