Sorry for the wind noise everyone! Gotta love Canada in November :)! We love our Toyota Sienna XSE and I’m sure after watching this review, you can see why!

Hi Marcello, it’s Marcello from Montreal. It’s just about 2 months I received my Sienna (same year and model like yours only Silver) I have 2 small kids and yes a talk feature would be great, But for the most part this is just an amazing minivan and we have had many minivans growing up. The comfort ride and smoothness is awesome. I read a lot about the hybrid being a little sluggish but in all honesty I find it quite responsive and reactive when you need it to be. Anyhow it was worth the 14 month wait. 😅

Your van has Toyota easy speak, utube it , sends your voice to back passengers, Love your videos.Got my 2023 xse last week after 6 month wait guess i am one of the lucky ones.

I had been there and done all that when our three kids were that young. You are on points about many of the things you mentioned. I owned 1996 Sienna and still own a 2007 Sienna today. No other vehicles drive as comfortable as the Sienna minivan when you need to go on a long distance driving. The high driving position where you can see the great view (not other cars' bumpers), the soft /comfortable ride (like riding on clouds), and it is nice an quiet (at least on a V6 - never own the new I4 Hybrid yet). Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

8:50 mark - this is a great demonstration of real life, dad life. Great personal review overall. Can't wait for our 25AE! 🤞

Too bad many of us are still waiting including me and my friend. Toyota and dealerships should be more transparent on the waiting list as most of us receive no updates and some were just ignored by sales rep. My friend already cancelled her order and went for a Subaru instead. I just don't get people in US just need to wait 1-2 months for a Sienna and we Canadian needs to wait for 1-2 years. LOL

Best review yet. This is very helpful getting your real world experience. Thanky

Thanks for the real world review!

Hey Marcello-RX350 owner here-I used strong outdoor caution tape and created a 'box' to park my car inside a tight garage. You can also try sponges around the garage walls to help prevent damage to the mirrors. If your van has the 360 reversal camera definitely helps to prevent any dinging as you get an aerial view of your car and how it would fit inside the 'box'

Great video. Waiting for our 2022 Sienna XSE. Actually first purchased the 2022 kia carnival because of its many features, one being that speaker system/mic feature you were speaking of. However the gas milage was more important to our family.

I absolutely Love mine in Cement Color

Thanks for the video! The Sienna is equipped with the driver easy speak feature which it will put your voice on the rear speakers using the mic beside the driver's sun visor. One thing I'm looking to do is to install a trailer hitch that will not interfere the trunk door kick sensor. Been trying to knock on the dealer and some shops so far there's no luck here in Canada.

Regarding speaking to someone at the back areas, the latest models of Siennas have EASY SPEAK or similar , built into the infotainment system. eg; my 2015 Sienna SE Premium has it. Mine is a 8 seater with plenty of comfortable seatings and rooms for adults and children. Great vehicle...

Thanks for the review Marcello. Nice to see a real life review from an owner with a young family just like ours. Every car has its pros and cons and the Sienna is by no means the perfect vehicle, but I believe the cons of the Sienna are minor annoyances and it still checks off a lot of features that young families want. The only major issue is that here in Canada the wait times are ridiculous due to lack of allocation Toyota gives our country. Here in Vancouver we’re into month 6 of our estimated 24 month wait time. Having two small kids and needing cargo space, I often contemplate giving up on my wait list and going with another brand. Bad timing to be in the market for a Sienna and obviously no fault to dealers but still very frustrating. I get upset when US buyers are finding vans after a few weeks or trading in their 2021 models for 2023 25th anniversary editions. Sorry about the rant and I’m sure Toyota Canada is already getting feedback from customers. Take care and happy holidays to you and the family!

Good job😊

We have a 2014 XLE AWD black. Always thought black looked the best on these, but the white looks amazing I like it better than the black honestly.

great review, thanks for posting. do those rubber mats come standard with the Sienna or are they extra?

The 2nd row seats not being easily removable like past generations would be a deal breaker for me .

Your van has toyota talk that allows you to project your voice to your rear passengers

Please provide the price package to know the value of the other models too and common issues

What do you think of the 25th anniversary? Also, is Xse a bit too low and easy to hit curbs?

Do you regret didn't get the 110v inverter ?

Great long term update. I am trying to decide between an XLE AWD and XSE AWD. Can you comment between the ride quality of each of those trim levels? Thanks!

Rear facing car seat is 2 yrs is some states

How come Canadian customer are put in back burner for our preorders. It’s been over a year since I ordered my Highlander hybrid. I smell corruption at Toyota and very unethical business practice

Really don't feel why Toyota still introduce new car, we as Canadian no way to buy it anyway

I bought my 23 camry xse 6 days ago and had to bring it back already to be fixed due to tail lights not working. I'm not impressed so far
