2013 toyota sienna review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Versatility and quiet ride make this an appealing minivan. introductionthe toyota sienna is a transportation solution for moving up to eight people and it does that well. It's also versatile as a cargo mover, with flexible interior configurations for any combination of passengers or cargo. sienna excels in second-row passenger comfort and cargo flexibility. The second-row seats are mounted on very long sliders, so they can be moved far forward or far back, depending on the way the interior needs to be configured for people or cargo. With the second-row seats adjusted to the rearward limit, a walk-in isle is created, big enough for an adult to walk through to help a child or an older passenger. With the second-row seats adjusted all the way forward, walk-in access to the third row becomes possible. Toyota has made only minor changes since then, mostly upgrades to standard equipment and options. the 2013 toyota sienna is available in five grades, with seating configurations for seven or eight. There are models aimed at practical transportation, models driven by luxury tastes. The sporty sienna se sits lower than the other models, on a sport-tuned suspension, with its electric power steering tuned for quicker response and better feedback, and it drives and handles more like a sports sedan. At the opposite extreme is the luxurious sienna limited, which has the nicest interior, and low-effort steering tuned for ease of operation, with high levels of power assist. That makes the sienna limited easy to park and maneuver at low speeds, but it also requires more attention to keep in the center of the lane when driving quickly. Sienna le and sienna xle models are somewhere in between, with steering and chassis priorities balanced 50/50 between comfort and handling. all sienna models are powered by a 3. 5-liter v6 rated at 266 horsepower and come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional. The v6 runs smoother at highway speed, with more reserve power for passing. Other upgrades relative to sienna l include eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, second and third-row sunshades, six-speaker audio, xm satellite radio, steering wheel controls for audio and telephone, bluetooth for hands-free cell phone operation and music streaming, compass and outside temperature displays, dual power sliding doors, homelink garage door opener. A sound-deadening acoustic windshield has been added for 2013. sienna limited 40,105) and limited awd 41,475) get upgraded 6cd jbl audio with 10-speakers, overhead console, integrated antenna, chrome door handles, push-button start, smart key, deluxe mirrors, dual panel moonroof, sonar parking system, third-row seats that power stow in floor, memory for driver's seat, leather with wood steering wheel, 18-inch wheels with 235/55r18 all-season tires. Added for 2013 is a blind spot monitor with cross-traffic alert. sienna se 33,725) features special body trim, 19-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension, and comes with exclusive instrumentation and unique interior colors and trim. options are too numerous to list. Navigation is available on all but sienna l, but only in packages that bundle it with entune (toyota's package of popular mobile apps and information services), audio upgrades, and other features. safety features include toyota's star safety system with anti-lock brakes (abs), electronic brake-force distribution (ebd), brake assist, vehicle stability control (vsc), and traction control; the mandated tire pressure monitor system; three-point seatbelts in all seating positions with adjustable seatbelt anchors on front and second row seats, driver's seatbelt emergency locking retractor (elr), and automatic locking retractors (alr) on all other seatbelts; front seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters; driver and front passenger active headrests; driver and front passenger airbags with advanced airbag system; driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags; driver knee airbag; three-row side curtain airbags; side impact beams in front and sliding side doors; latch (lower anchors and tethers for children); child protector sliding door locks; jam protection for power windows. Optional all-wheel drive enhances safety in adverse conditions. The pre-collision system is optional with dynamic radar cruise control,vehicle dynamics integrated management system (vdim), and hill assist control (hac). Blind spot monitor with cross traffic control, safety connect, and front and rear sonar are optional or included on premium models. All of this stuff is a very good idea. All prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices (msrp), which may change without notice at any time. Prices do not include destination charges. walkaroundthe toyota sienna presents a wide stance, with broad flared shoulders. Up front is a contemporary face with sophisticated, highly angular headlamps. The lights have projector lamps and halogen high beams combined in a compact, slender design. from the side, the sienna looks sleek, and less boxy in than some other vans. The track for the sliding rear doors is concealed, so the rear doors look like they belong on a sedan or crossover suv. The rear windows are shaped in a tapered trapezoid and inclined inward like a sedan, again contradicting the standard boxy minivan look. the rear has been designed with a low, wide bumper and a roof spoiler that hides the rear wiper, for a stronger, cleaner appearance. Led tail and stop lamps are used, which illuminate more quickly and consume less power. overall, the exterior looks clean and sleek, and it is. Aerodynamic work, including underbody covers to help manage airflow, keeps the coefficient of drag relatively low, at 0. 31 cd. there are quite a few exterior differences from model to model. Wheels may be 17, 18, or 19 inches depending on the model and options. Sienna xle, se, and limited models have front fog lamps in the lower valence, and limited has hid headlamps as an option. The se has dark chrome accents around the lights and smoked headlight covers. the sienna se gets other special styling cues. The front has a more aggressive appearance. Side skirting visually lowers the vehicle and smoked headlights and taillights make a distinctive statement. Aerodynamic sculpting hugs the standard 19-inch alloy wheels. The se sits lower, on a sport-tuned suspension. interiorthe sienna interior looks modern, with flowing lines and round controls to achieve a unified, integrated design. Prominently visible at the base of the center stack is a shape, something like a tadpole, that tapers laterally toward the passenger, to create the feeling that there is more room to share. Instead, the design suggests shared space and control areas, in a freshly contemporary atmosphere. design aside, the center stack contains the usual controls, with the message center at the top, the audio system just below, the climate control system below that, and storage and convenience features, such as cupholders and 12-volt plugs, at the lowest level. The shifter is located on the dash, closest to the driver, freeing center console space for storage. there are three instrument designs. The standard analog system uses bright blue numbering with red needles. In all three designs, a large speedometer and tach are combined with fuel and temperature gauges. The automatic transmission range and odometer are displayed on the lcd in the center of the meter, and an eco-drive light indicates economical driving. The wheel tilts and telescopes. the front seats are passenger-car comfortable. Driver's seats are six-way adjustable on the base sienna model, and eight-way adjustable on all other models, with power on all but le memory available on limited models.
