Toyota Sienna Overview

The Sienna has been completely redesigned for the 2011 model year, now offering excellent interior versatility and quality fit-and-finish to the highly competitive full-size minivan segment. Trim levels include the base, LE, SE, XLE and Limited models. Two engine choices are available, each mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission: an all-new 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder outputting 187 hp with front-wheel drive, and a 3.5-liter V6 with 265 hp and either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Sienna seats 7 with second-row captain's chairs or 8 with the optional second-row bench seat. Cargo capacity measures 39.1 cubic feet behind the third-row seat and up to 150 cubic feet behind the first-row seats. Toyota's standard Star Safety System brings traction and stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with electronic brake force distribution, airbags for driver, passenger, driver's knee, front sides and side curtains for all 3 rows, and LATCH child safety seat anchors. Fuel economy is near identical with either engine choice: front-drivers see 19 city/24 highway with the 4-cylinder and 18 city/24 highway with the V6, while V6 all-wheel drive models attain 16 city/22 highway mpg.
