I don’t have kids. I have a Sienna. And I fudging LOVE IT. It does hardware store runs better than most trucks. And it’s an absolute street queen … it does road trips better than any car on the road today. The marketing mistake is pointing the Sienna just at families. It’s a great car for ANYONE. The Sienna is the absolute king of Practicality, comfort, and reliability. Awesome review. These need more love.

5 adults.... 60lbs of camera gear. Bay area to Yosemite and back in one tank. Comfy the whole time. Cant beat that.

I never liked minivans but that all changed last month having been "upgraded" by SixT car rental at Phoneix Sky Harbor Airport. I got a 2022 White XSE Hybrid AWD. Drove it for 1000 miles fully loaded with family and gear, AC blasting, sport mode, driving it like I stole it up and down mountains, and the damn thing still returned 31.5 MPG. I'm impressed and understand why many are willing to wait 12 months for delivery of their Sienna.

I’ve been working for Toyota for 3 years now as a expert level technician over here in Long Island, New York, and I’m just so grateful to be working for such an amazing car company. Toyota goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction, watching this video right here talking about the new sienna makes me feel proud that I get to work for such a great company. Keep up with the videos man, I love them, still waiting for that MR2 to come out, I’m gonna be one of the first ones buying it!!

Great review from someone who uses the car for its intended purpose, not bloggers paid to review it.
Very useful. Thank you.

[mrgurulittle]

Everyone cooperated so well. That’s really rare nowadays so I give credit to everyone. Thanks guys and Kirk, and happy birthday to whoever’s it was. Safe trip back too.⚠️Oh, and thank Toyota for the car.😉

We’ve got a 22 Sienna Platinum and. I love the styling of the XSE but the Platinum trim with its impressively low NVH, power/memory/ventilated seats and external cameras really elevate the total experience of driving and owning what is essentially an enormous Prius. Imho it’s worth splurging on the Platinum.

Minivans are better vehicles for families than crossovers. Why crossovers are the trend over minivans and why minivans and wagons get a bad name is mind-boggling. Crossovers aren't the best format for vehicles even if they are the most popular. Sienna is probably the class leader.

I came here after seeing how many minivans are being converted to RVs. The Sienna is king at 37 mpg!!! Plus you get smooth Japanese ergonomics over clunky US ones with zero fuel economy. This is a beast. Payload is 1330. Tow capacity is 3500 lbs. Lots of interior room. If you remove all the seats and create a small RV, you would have so much room inside. You could even add water tanks where the rear tucked in seats now sit. Definitely worth building for a mobile office or wknd trips to urban areas.
You should ask Toyota why they have this wind noise. Seals are not good? Check the cabin air filter, it may be missing (under passenger side dash). Maybe your roof was open or not closed all the way? That roof opening means I can add a ceiling fan without cutting a hole! Nice feature, ha ha!

Loved your demo and tour, and thank you for no music. Your kids and family are sweet!

Appreciate your family minivan reviews because Families have unique needs. I can no longer shop based on criteria of which car will impress a lady at a night club. And even some parents of older kids can’t seem to understand just how much car seats these days take up.

I have a deposit on a new Sienna Platinum AWD at MsR p (waited 14 months thus far) but also looking into new Odysseys and possibly used Sienna if our kid outgrows his harness booster setup before our Sienna becomes available.

We rented a sienna after we flew from LA to New Mexico. Loved it a except the slow and loud acceleration.

Pretty slick looking Family Hauler. I'm impressed!

[bobsctx]

Thanks for look into life with a new Sienna! Get the limited next time with 360 camera and acoustic glass are my takeaways, thanks again. Lovely family!

We just got a 2023 XLE and I love it. Comfy and the gas savings over our old odyssey is amazing. I like the EV mode in the city and it just fires up the engine when it needs the juice smoothly. Our indicator is showing about 32mpg with a mix of city and highway driving in the Orlando area. We will definitely be hanging onto it for a long while.

This makes me miss my sienna, we just took our gx460 to Colorado from Oklahoma and I was excited I got 16mpg. I like this sienna better for my 3 kids

[gregmoore]

Thanks for the review. I think the best way to test drive some of these vehicles is to rent if possible. It might cost you a few hundred dollars, but it is so important to do, as many of these vehicles are close to $50, 000. For now I will just stick to my 2007 Sienna, 237, 000 miles and still going strong. Life time average is 21 miles to the gallon. Realistic pure 78 MPH freeway is about 24mpg. Parts and repair cost are still reasonable because many know how to work on them and you can purchase aftermarket parts cheaper. These new vehicles are so high tech that your limited on who can fix them and the cost of parts.

It's nice to get the perspective of someone who has extensive experience with the Sienna and with a family.

[roningaminghd]

About to get this car from CarMax for a family of 3 and really appreciate you being honest in this review, thank you!! Gives me a lot of insight.

[verynick]

Wish, how many kiddos do you have?!? Haha great to see minivans are still being made today. Huge minivan guy!!!

[nelsonm]

This Video is useful. Thank you so much for all the information you just gave us. We’re buying our third Toyota minivan so this video just confirm everything that we need to hear. Thank you so much!!!

+plug in hybrid and Toyota's seat that comes out to assist the elderly up and into the van and this would be my next car. Ventilated seats would be nice too.
