WALKAROUND
With its tidy, traditional looks, the Sienna is a timeless minivan with refined touches of sport-utility styling. The long, sloping nose is clearly minivan, however square lines somewhere else-- especially when seen from the back-- recall a sport-utility car. Where lots of minivans present huge moves of metal, the Sienna has a relatively even percentage of glass to steel, another SUV characteristic.
Sienna utilizes an extended variation of the Camry system. It is built on the very same Georgetown, Kentucky, assembly line as the Camry. Basing the Sienna on the Camry causes nice road good manners. It also makes it more economical to develop as well as develop-- a win-win situation for carmaker as well as buyer. These cost savings allow Toyota to bring the cost of the Sienna closer to the norm for the class.
Being in the driveway, the Sienna looks neat as well as compact. Its size (193 inches) places it regarding halfway in between the short and also lengthy Chrysler minivans. It's 3 inches narrower compared to the Chrysler minivans and 1 inch lower in elevation.
INTERIOR
In spite of its moderate size, the within the Sienna is roomy. Three-row seating is basic, as well as the back cargo location is a fitting 18 inches deep from hatch open up to seatback. The flip-and-fold seats make it basic to increase the freight location as required.
If you should remove the seats completely, they can be lifted out individually. The seats can be eliminated with the seat backs folded flat, that makes them simpler to manage. The seat locks are fantastically performed; they launch easily and also are simple to re-install.
Getting in as well as from the Sienna is very easy. Twin gliding doors ensure passengers get in and out quickly and also minimize playing around to the far side of the automobile to order a kid. Child-safety door locks beat the inside door takes care of on all sliding doors. At the full-open placement, an interlock stopper protects against moving doors from moving closed when parked on a downhill grade. A half-door stopper protects against the left-side moving door from totally opening when the fuel cover is opened to prevent the door from making contact with the fueling location.
The optional right-side power sliding door can be opened up by pushing buttons on the dash, keyless remote or B-pillar, or by pulling on the inside or outdoors locks. Throughout the summertime, it's nice to be able to begin the airing out process while you're approaching the Sienna with a tons of groceries. A button alongside the steering wheel enables the vehicle driver to bypass these switches to make sure that the power sliding door could not be opened. The power gliding door function functions without having the type in the ignition. The power sliding door can be opened up like a regular door when the power switch is turned off. The power gliding door detects when a barrier remains in its course as well as instantly withdraws.
Step-in height is a lot lower than that of an SUV, making getting in and also out much easier for shorter people, older people and every person else. As soon as in, the vehicle driver enjoys an expansive sight of the roadway, though the seatsing placement is not as high as in several sport-utility cars. Visibility is excellent in all directions, thanks to all the glass. Large mirrors (power on LE and XLE designs) use an excellent sight to the rear. Instruments allow, intense and very easy to check out.
All seatsing settings are really comfy. Our Sienna was outfitted in the optional leather upholstery, which is attractive, luxurious and also very easy to tidy. Low side strengthening on the seats makes slipping in and from them simpler, but they lack assistance to maintain you easily anchored in hostile side-to-side maneuvers. Though the rear 2 rows of seats do not supply as much area as the bigger Honda Odyssey, Dodge Grand Campers or Chrysler Town & Country, they give enough space to easily seat 6 people. With a little cooperation amongst the passengers, fore and aft modifications for the 2nd row (and, naturally, the front row) permit optimal area for people of differing heights.
Storage is close at hand without restraining the charitable pass-through in between the pole positions that makes it easy to relocate from the front to the rear without venturing out. Little internet affixed to the sides of the pole positions are excellent for saving toll tickets, sunglasses or pocketbooks. Fold-down cupholders alongside the storage space net protected drinks but turn up off the beaten track when not in use; they do not resemble they would certainly hold high beverages well, yet safely held my Venti-sized paper coffee mug.
The second row can be furnished with either captain's chairs or a two-place bench seat. The seatbacks fold down to provide a flat surface for food and also games and also cupholders. Molded right into the doors are round holders appropriate for one-liter containers. Cupholders, up to 14 of them, are almost everywhere. Either captain's chairs or a three-place bench can be gotten for the third row; the captain's chairs are preferable if you only require seating for 6 people.
Environment controls are installed high on the facility control panel for good gain access to. Radio controls are installed fairly low, but acc.
DRIVING IMPRESSION
That the Sienna is based on the Camry is a good idea. The Camry's 3.0-liter V6 engine, four-speed electronic transmission, steering system, transmission, as well as front suspension are market standouts for improvement in the competitive mid-size car market. So the Sienna benefits from a great deal of tested technology.
The outcome is a minivan with a ride as good as is around. A big, high box will never ride and handle in addition to a reduced, smooth car, but the Sienna is pretty good. The guiding isn't as sharp, the short-term feedback isn't as crisp as a few of the various other minivans. It leans in the edges, and also appears a bit mushy in short-term maneuvers. But on the whole, it handles well and its soft suspension makes up for any taking care of deficiencies with its smooth trip high quality as well as strong stability on the freeway.
Toyota's V6 is simple to deal with. It's smooth, trustworthy, and economical. It produces 194 horsepower, dramatically greater than either the Chrysler or Ford 3.0-liter V6s. Toyota's V6 is reliable with EPA fuel economy scores of 18/24 mpg city/highway. Chrysler and Ford each deal 3.8-liter V6 engines with a whole lot more torque, however the Toyota V6 gave plenty of power. Passing various other cars on hillsides is very easy: Punch it and the Sienna removes, promptly putting the slower automobile away. On turnpikes as well as Interstates in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, the Sienna used superb high-speed security. Power was never ever a concern. Toyota suggests premium fuel.
The four-speed transmission is excellent. It constantly chooses the right gear, developing a group with the V6. Shifts are so smooth when travelling that they are almost smooth; under hard velocity the transmission supplies favorable changes at the redline. Anti-lock brakes come basic on the Sienna, which provides smooth stopping efficiency.
