10 Things To Know About The Toyota Sienna Hybrid

Sharan Pillai — Sun, 14 May 2023 22:00:18 GMT

The Toyota Sienna has been one of the most sought-after minivans ever since its inception in 1997. On its 25th anniversary, the Tokyo-based multinational automotive manufacturer launched the all-new Toyota Sienna Hybrid. Toyota has integrated the same rationale of the older model and carried it forward to the hybrid version. Although there are not many upgrades, slight changes to the engine and the exterior make the 2022 Toyota Sienna somewhat distinctive and a direct rival to Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey. The hybrid tech comes in seven trims and will be called LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, 25th Anniversary Edition, Limited, and Platinum. Toyota confirmed, there will be only 2525 25th Anniversary Edition minivans released.

2023 Toyota Sienna Review: Shake The Stigma, This Minivan Is Better Than Any Three-Row SUV

Joe Parker — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 13:00:16 GMT

It’s a shame that minivans have such a bad rep. Some feel owning a minivan is the ultimate expression someone has “given up on life” or that a person who willingly purchases one is suddenly transported below the bottom of the barrel on a “coolness” scale. But I am not one of these people. In fact, and I may receive some hate for this, I believe minivans are cool in their own right. After all, they are purpose-built machines that serve their intentions well with fantastic pragmaticism, a bevy of features to please their market audience, and are, in some ways, on the cutting edge of convenience.

This Lifted, All-Wheel Drive Toyota Sienna Is An Off-Roading Family Hauler

Sam Weber — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 12:31:15 GMT

Very few vehicles meet the needs of their owners perfectly. While fast SUVs exist, they are not capable off of pavement, while most off-road vehicles are not large enough to bring the whole family for the fun. Those that can, such as off-road RV or overland vehicles, are incredibly costly. How are families supposed to travel over any terrain on a budget when there is no vehicle capable for the market? DIY is always an option for those who have the free time and resources required, but only in some cases are all the pieces so aligned that they can do so. However, if you’re in the market right now, this customized Toyota Sienna minivan may be the solution.

The standard hybrid drivetrain of this special-edition Sienna returns impressive fuel economy while providing adequate power to move this large minivan with authority.

Battle of the Hybrid Minivans: Chrysler Pacifica vs Toyota Sienna

Risper Makena — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 22:01:15 GMT

Despite the increasing preference for SUVs as family vehicles, minivans are still the go-to option for anyone looking for comfort, space, and practicality without minding the apparent stigma of being seen driving one. Newer minivan designs from manufacturing companies like Kia, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda are injecting life back into the almost-abandoned minivans and continuing to meet the mobility needs of many families. In their recent updated designs, Chrysler and Toyota introduced minivans that featured a hybrid powertrain, a deeper dive into technology, and stylish exterior and interior furnishings. These two hybrid minivans are the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and the Toyota Sienna Hybrid. Each one has unique features, but which is the better choice?

Nearly 2,300 Toyota Sienna Minivans Have Been Recalled Because Its Seat Belts Might Not Save Your Life

Isaac Atienza — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 10:16:20 GMT

Toyota is announcing a recall for the 2022 model year Sienna. The recall involves an issue with its seat belts, which might not be able to do what they are supposed to do in the first place. To be precise, 2,259 units of the 2022 Toyota Sienna are affected by faulty seat belts. Affected vehicles have outboard second-row seat belt assemblies that were manufactured with an incorrect D-ring, which leads to the directional low-friction insert facing the wrong direction.

Toyota Debuts The New Sienna and The Resurrected-Venza

Sidd Dhimaan — Tue, 19 May 2020 23:00:00 GMT

I’ve considered hybrids to be the perfect stopgap between internal combustion engine cars and electric vehicles. The majority of the people are still skeptical to switch to pure EVs and hybrid vehicles help you adapt to it very well. Not all automakers have taken hybrid technology very seriously, but Toyota is one company that has diligently worked on it and delivered quality products.

2018 Toyota Sienna

Robert Moore — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 14:00:00 GMT

The Toyota Sienna has been in its third generation since 2010. While models like the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica have since been updated and gone through generational shifts, the Sienna has soldiered on with relatively mild updates. In 2017, Toyota did upgrade the 3.5-liter engine and dropped the six-speed automatic for an eight-speed unit, but otherwise, it’s been pretty much the same van all this time outside of some minor changes to the exterior in 2015. Well, Toyota is bringing a revamped Sienna to the 2017 New York Auto Show, but it’s not a new-gen model. Instead, Toyota is adding new “swagger” with a new front fascia, new side skirts, some noise and vibration enhancements, and some additional technology like extra USB ports, an updated rear entertainment system, and a semi-digital instrument cluster.

2016 Toyota Extreme Sienna

Kirby Garlitos — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 14:00:00 GMT

The Toyota Sienna may not be one of the first models anybody associates with the SEMA Auto Show, but Toyota’s resident people mover has been a showstopper in Las Vegas over the past few years. Anybody remember the R-Tuned Concept from last year’s show? How about the SpongeBob Edition? While we’re at it, let’s not forget about the Swagger Wagon Supreme from 2010, one of the most outlandish builds we’ve ever seen at SEMA. This year, Toyota’s booth at SEMA brought the Extreme Sienna. While it’s not as mind-blowing as the Swagger Wagon, it still upholds the oftentimes audacious nature of SEMA.

2016 Toyota Sienna – Driven

Mark McNabb — Wed, 25 May 2016 21:00:00 GMT

The minivan->ke1149 segment might not be the most glamorous vehicle category, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more functional, practical, and economical ride when it comes to transporting seven of your closest friends and family. Yep, the minivan can haul people and their stuff in glorious comfort while making most SUV->ke145 crossovers->ke288 look cramped and poorly designed. Sadly, the minivan gets a bad rap. It’s pigeon holed as the mommy-mobile on it way between soccer and ballet, filled with Cheerio crumbs and at least one soured formula bottle lost in one of the dozens of cup holders.

Ideal Cars To Use This Christmas

Kirby Garlitos — Fri, 25 Dec 2015 21:00:00 GMT

The Christmas season is now in full swing and, as many of you can attest, the roads have been pretty jam-packed the past few days. It’s a tricky situation to navigate, and while we are celebrating Christmas today, it’s reasonable to expect that the roads are going to be just as bad over the next few days. Obviously, many of us are in different positions. Some have yet to complete their holiday shopping. Some probably have yet to start. There are also those who celebrated Christmas away from home and are planning to go back to their own addresses. Then there’s the always unpredictable mood of Mother Nature.

2015 Toyota Sienna Premium AWD: Driven

Alex Oagana — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:10:00 GMT

2015 Toyota Sienna - Driven

Mark McNabb — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 11:54:16 GMT

Toyota->ke88 has been in the minivan market for decades, though the Sienna->ke1053 didn’t roll on the scene until 1998. That first year, the Sienna was marketed as the “Camry of Minivans.” That made sense since it was based on the Camry->ke246 and used the same 194-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6. The second-generation Sienna came around in 2004 with much improved styling that looked more grown up. A larger, more powerful V-6 was used and the interior had more creature comforts. Things soldiered on almost unchanged until 2011 when the third generation entered production.

2015 Toyota Sienna

Mark McNabb — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:18:19 GMT

The Swagger Wagon is rolling into 2015 with some minor changes and updates centered mainly around a few exterior cosmetic bits and a few interior pieces. The new Sienna minivan->ke21 isn’t much different from the outgoing van, which debuted back in 2011. The Sienna->ke1053 dates back to 1998 when Toyota->ke88 launched the all-new minivan as a replacement for the mid-engine Previa minivan. (Yes, the Previa’s engine sat under the front seats!) The Sienna then moved into its second generation in 2004 and onto the third generation in 2011.

The Car Show: Season 1 Episode 8

Alexander — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 22:00:00 GMT

This week's episode of The Car Show->ke3905 packed many of the things that were vacant from the last week's episode. Yes, we said it, there was much more Car Show and a lot less filler crap.

2010 Toyota Sienna "Swagger Wagon Supreme"

Kirby Garlitos — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:30:00 GMT

Leave it to Toyota->ke88 to turn a seemingly ordinary mini-van into a stretched-out limousine whose interior looks more awesome than our living room.

Talk about rolling around town with swag.
