I have owned siennas for 20 yrs, started with a 2004, rolled it, and walked away, bought a new 2008 drove for 11yrs, 425k miles no tune up, no tranny flush...just alternator kept going out cause i put in autozone parts😢 and air conditioner not strong cause of mouse nesting in cabin filter😅 now I have a 2015 with 140k that gets 20 city and 25 hwy. I moved my house and put a qn matress in back( without 2nd row), filled it with dirt for garden( on a tarp) and fill it with 7 adults for a road trip to vegas. Other than batteries and brakes, no big repairs. Note, get good brakes and rotors as they only get about 60k before warping. Was going to go for hybrid, but after this i this video and comments i will drive my 2015 to 500k this time! Thanks for the video! Siennas rock, its my truck that friend rely on and my car for cruisin.

No way you're getting a queen in there. Queen length, maybe, but less than full-size width. The Sienna is 48" wide on the interior - queen is 60" and full size is 54" and twin XL is 38".

We had the new design Sienna (about 2002 or so). I have owned cars at all levels of luxury but to me, this was the best car that I have owned in over 60 years of car ownership experience. It was as spacious as any moving passenger car. We did everything with it and it was flawless for about 6 years when it proved it's real worth. My wife was T-Boned right by the drivers door. She rolled over onto the roof of the car. The Jaws-Of-Life had to be used to extricate her and she was immediately taken to the Emergency Room. When I arrived a few minutes later, the Sate Police were kindly checking up on her and talking to her about how lucky she was to not even have one scratch. Imagine a violent rollover and basically walking away from it. The van was as solid and as safe as it could ever be. No injuries of any kind. My conclusion is that any Sienna is worth a buy. Just get your preference and you will be driving an excellent, reliable and safe car.

The biggest issue with the 2023 Sienna is actually getting one!!! A friend of mine works for a High Volume dealer and she actually places the orders for the Dealership, she said it could be 3-5 years!!??!! Her Brother ordered one in November 2021 and he still doesn't even know when he will get it!!! She also advised that they have over 500 on order! They were only scheduled to receive less than 10 until the end of August!!??!! It is Plausible that some packages have much longer wait times than others.... but getting a Sienna is a LONG LONG wait!!! My guess is that they are re-tooling the plant preparing for the TX and GH which has pretty much brought Sienna production to a halt. I am currently driving a 2015 Sienna Ltd, it is a nice driving van and gets about 19MPG or 12L/100K. This isn't great fuel economy, but not brutal either. My wifes 2011 CRV gets about 10.5L/100K. I have a TX550H+ on order... hoping to get that within a year or so... maybe wishful thinking, but hopefully not!!

Not bad for the 3.5 V6. I like the breathable wide open airy-ness and simple controls without all the unnecessary clap trap. I like the fact I can attend to the kids in the rear seats without having to get outside the vehicle in the rain or snow.

One of the main keys is just avoid having the kids eat in the vehicle. For a road trip sure, it's to be expected. Then just clean it out afterward. On most occasions it's never necessary to eat inside the vehicle. Eat in the restaurant or take the kids to the park and eat there. Majority of nastiness in a vehicle is from food mess. In addition to this I just give my van a once over with the vacuum and a rag once a week or so and it stays very nice. Take a little glass cleaner to the windows once in a while too. Nasty mess like that just bugs me. Nobody, not even kids want to sit on stained dirty nasty seats with rotting food particles. I get that some parents have very busy working lives and limited time spans to spend quality time with their kids. Thus cleaning often takes a back seat to other priorities. It's understandable on some level. Still at some point it's time to clean it up or it just becomes super nasty.

Good luck to realign and repair it ! Middle row seats are not removable ( OK if you have a spare truck at home). Small tiny engine as sole source of power - battery gives you some boost for a short time and to be recharged by the same small engine . Hybrid gives you savings in a city stop-and-go traffic only.

I have the 2017 SE. In my opinion now that I've seen and learned more about the new Hybrids, I think the 2017 SE is a great balance of both those different models for my family. The V6 in 2017 is 301hp and 267lb/ft torque, sport tuned suspension. On hwy drives, I get 28-30mpg (or 8.4 L/100kms ...we're in Canada). We have the black softex interior with the 8th seat. I love that the middle seats can either both be removed or remove just one or the other. The new hybrid Sienna as ,many above have noted, can't do that. However, we only have usb up front, and the only option for rear seat passenger phone charging would be to plug into the outlet in the hatch area. All that said, it drives great, gas mlg is manageable, great acceleration (especially passing hwy!!!), excellent practicality in removing seats etc. 2017 for the win!!! I almost forgot.....the 2017 over the 2013 for front dash setup and display. We have a much larger and closer screen to use and ot shows good backup camera display! And...far better setup for HVAC controls.

Hi folks. First,Kirk thanks for taking time and making a video. I live in Norway,and unfortunately 0 models available here. Sienna is not produced for EU market,there a maybe only 20-30 pcs for sale on the web market in whole EU,imported from the US. So I dont have much chances to try a different models. I have tried 2021 model in Germany last summer,and my thoughts are that is underpowered,and just feels a bit cramped,especially in a 3rd row,and claustrofobic with a smaller windows on the back. Also,I have a feeling that a second row is a bit low seating,I am 6'2,and my knees standing qiute high. Can anyone confirm if 2020 is more roomy,especially in a 3rd row? I have a 4 kids,and I need a space. I am aware that older gen uses more gas,and maybe questionable updated 8-speed trans. It is not an easy decision. Currently owe a Prius+ 7 seater, 1.8 hybrid but I will upgrade to Sienna. I love the Toyota hybrids,the problem with Sienna in EU is high cost and lack of power,in my opinion. Greeting to all!

I'll buy the older van because it has the power folding third row seat, the chrome trim on the lift gate, long lift gate struts, and more horsepower. The van doesn't have none of that.

In mpg maybe but the old sienna has a lot more space inside and the middle seats come out. And the v6 is a lot smoother than the 4 cylinder

If you’re a hardcore van person then you might not like the current generation but this generation appeals to a much wider audience. I don’t care how good the V6 is, 36mpg combined with 650 miles of range destroys the old powertrain and makes road trips much more enjoyable. Yes the hybrid engine is buzzy and sounds like crap but it’s proven to be very reliable and is fast enough. In terms of the bridge console, I love it, give me 4 cup holders in the middle any day plus it still retains center storage.
