Thanks everyone for your support of my channel. Please watch an ad or two while looking at my videos. It helps and I have great partners! - Авто та транспорт
Thanks everyone for watching! I'm really all-in on this 2021 Sienna. What trim level would you choose? I hope you liked all my song and movie references today. lol a long video like this requires some entertaining bits for both host and the viewers :) Jeff
None. It's a letdown.
Loved it! You’re the best. Can’t wait to be able to purchase this type of van. I have to wait awhile as my husband & I just purchased a house.
Hi Jeff,
Do you have any best deal for XSE or XLE? PLEASE Contact my email at Hthuynh708@gmail.com or 808 600 0360. Appreciated
I know it's quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Ricky Rowan flixportal :)
While we are no where near your dealership, I have learned all I need from your videos. Really do appreciate it, and Toyota should be funding you!
I agree!
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I just wanted to see the trunk space with the rear seats up...I watched the whole damn video cuz he was so entertaining. Nice job
They literally are funding them… they’re a Toyota Dealership. They’re funded with cars to make millions
We went with XLE AWD. I'm in Canada, and the difference between the two was just over 3k. The LE didn't come with a remote start, and my dealer quoted me 1k to install one. By the time we factored that in, it was definitely worth the money to upgrade to the XLE. It's an absolutely beautiful vehicle. I went with Blizzard Pearl as well
Does your XLE with fog lights? Mine don't have it. I'am here in Ontario, Canada.
Does the XLE com with a remote starter?
We are in northern Michigan and considering an XLE with awd, I haven’t seen any reviews concerning how the new awd with the electric motor works in the real world, how has yours been?
Thank you for this amazing review ! Watching you was so fun!! We are buying the. XLE !! You convinced us!!! 👊🏼
Very good review and side by side comparison... Job well done sir!
This was a very thorough and FUN video to watch! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for the comparisons. I appreciated, i have not seem a video like yours before. Thank you.
I really loved this video....very good explained on every detail...all my questions were answered 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙂
Thank you JEFF for all your hard work. Your detailed reviews are soo helpfull. Keep it up my mannn….
Jeff. Don't change a THING. Love your videos! Informative and zany all rolled into one. Life is too short to be serious!
This was seriously helpful, and pretty entertaining.
Great video. I have to say ur audio and video quality is great
thank you Jeff for recording this vid, it's useful for my family as this is first bybird Toy ven. Thanks
This dudes energy is ON POINT!!! This dude would be a blast to learn from! Not those daggum boring scripted people 🙈
Thanks so much!!! I’m not a fan of boring reviews and try to make it fun when I can.
He sold me on a Corolla, now ready for a Sienna!
Detailed and very fun to watch review 😎👍
I live in Raleigh, love your videos, Jeff! My family & I rented an LE for a road trip to Florida and it was amazing. We split the journey home into 2 parts, second part leaving from Savannah, GA and I averaged 40.2mpg! We hit traffic a couple times so the all electric coasting really worked in our favor. If we could afford one I’d get it in a heartbeat. Easily the best family car. I’d probably purchase a lumbar pillow as the lack of lumbar adjustment did get to me a little on the drive down to FL (did that in one shot) but the seats were still very comfortable. Visibility was good, engines noise was a bit high but that doesn’t bother me, I actually like to be able to hear it in case something goes wrong. On the highway, with cruise, it’s not loud at all, it was under heavy acceleration that it was more noticeable. If the time comes that we can afford the hybrid Sienna, I’ll be calling you up, Jeff!
Great video, full of important information. Thank you!
love your videos, Im in sales with toyota and i always refer to your videos on the latest when we dont have one in stock. I also share your videos with on the fence buyer, another great individual giving solid reviews
Awesome thanks for watching! I’m so glad they help :)
fun review, good energy Jeff.
Your energy is great man
Very informative. Thanks for the information. I like the XLE, seats and front back bumper sensors
Great!! Fell in love with your presentation.
Thank you!!
Love your reviews.
YEAH BABY.
great comparison vid.
Dude you got my thumbs up at "Its brilliant ITS BRILLIANT!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!" this is the type of reviews I need in my life keep em coming!
Excellent!!! Glad you liked it. I’m also at “AutoJeff Reviews” where I review all brands
Very nice review !!!
I choose 4 inch lift with AWD Cargo camper conversion, and tow package with Overlander tones! Nice breakdown complete with Grandpa pants has Xanadu flashback!
I like the XLE more. I like the added convenience options such as kick to open doors and rear hatch. I also like the softex seats and super sliding captains chairs. The extra sonars on the XLE are handy.
Thank you, it is good detailed review 👍
I am absolutely in love with the XLE Sienna..Waiting on one currently right now. Hopefully will have one in the next month or two.
Best color commentary car review ever!
And informative!
Learned a ton - thanks
Thank you for doing this video LE vs XLE
I hope there will be a panoramic sun/moon roof in the near future so the passengers at the back can also enjoy the panoramic view not just from the sides but also the skies. We’re waiting for Sienna Prime. 🤩
Thank you Jeff for this very informative video, it’s just great! 👍🏼👍🏼
Came for the review... Stayed for The Energy!!!
This was the best comparison I have seen and bring lot of clarity in selecting model. It’s xle for me!
Great!! Thanks so much :)
thank you, i love your humor!!!!!
Amazing explanation
Great job!!
I felt the energy of this review
Same.
I like the XLE. It’s worth to purchase the XLE with plus package 👍. It’s a great and really fun review… you did an awesome job 👏! Thanks for your great, fun, and entertaining review 🙏.
Awesome video! I wish we could buy from you!
The LE is the better value, because I don't think the difference in features justifies the increase in price. But because of the wife I would probably end up deciding on the XLE. She would want the power trunk hatch and the parking assist.
The Platinum edition jumps to over $50k, what's added extra for that $7-8k?
I have the LE and there is no button to open the trunk inside the vehicle or on the keyfob, correct?
About 15% in savings for LE vs XLE, not bad for all standard features.
I appreciate the information on the changes made in the 2022 Sienna. I would really like to see just how much floor space there is if the third row seats are folded flat and the second row seats are forward as far as possible. I want to know if there is room to put a decent camping bed inside. I wish the second row seats were EASILY removed! If they have put on a tow package and cross bars, I suspect Toyota realizes that people want to get out there and camp. It isn't just families who drive vans! We don't need lounge chairs in the back with a movie screen- we older folks have raised our kids and now want time for ourselves-- and that means traveling this country and seeing the national parks! Thanks for letting me vent-
Exactly my sentiments , couldn’t agree more !
I went for the LE, iam a frugal person and all i need is a brand new, properly functioning mini van for my family.
Hi Jeff, I'm getting a sienna soon! but my question is can LE or XLE have that spot for the seat to store instead of the spare tire option? I'm in California at he moment and they are out of stock of the one I want.
I want XLE. Hey Jeff , can you explain please, what is going on with Sienna shortage situation, my local dealers here in CA don't have a single Sienna, only a pre-order . Is there a price difference to match today's market? Thank you
Test drove an identical XLE a couple days ago, but with the captain's chairs instead of the bench. I was expecting it to be a dog with only 245 HP, but the acceleration shocked me! It got up to speed plenty quick enough, brakes felt strong and sure, and I was impressed by how quiet it was! LE with the convenience package probably has the best value, but I'm an Uber driver, and everyone who's ridden in an Uber with cloth seats remembers the smell; so an XLE with it's softex (and captain's chairs) will be a must. One thing I'll miss about my 2010 is it has little storage cubbies under the driver's door armrest, perfect for your preferred method of personal protection. Seems new cars lack the perfect cubby for that.
Put several passengers and some stuff in there and you’ll see just how quickly it becomes strained. Not a good thing in a family hauling vehicle.
I’m confused when did 245hp become low? Most sedans don’t have that unless they’re sports car or upgraded
@@luisportillo1502 All the competition has very near or over 300HP, the Sienna is 50HP less and weighs more.
Jeff I have a question, the middle seat on the XLE snaps in from my understanding, It seems the center can slide back and forth and recline with the driver side so they become one bench, is that correct? Also if you have the spare tire, my understanding is that the spot for the snapped in seat is gone because of the tire. I can still remove that piece yes? It seems to be that the 8 passenger is just a 7 passenger with a snap in seat so is there a difference between the 8 passenger without the snapped in center seat and a 7 passenger sienna? Thanks man!
This man is crazy 😂 i love it
It's his way for marketing.
good job man.
Where can I find information on the XLE plus package? I don’t see it on the brochure or website online. I’m located in BC if that makes a difference.
This is a beaut, Clark. XD Very nice.
I need to buy one of these.
Disappointed that the LE doesn't come with the smart key option. BIG inconvenience especially with children and the chance of possibly locking your keys in the van. And there's no way to install or upgrade this option
Everybody has their own opinion, but I feel that the decrease in overall power compared to the previous generation is a non-issue. The previous 3.5L V6 was more than the Sienna needed. You stepped on that thing, and it would MOVE. The slight decrease in power is a MORE than fair trade-off for the double in MPG that you are getting. A slight decrease in power to double the MPG? I'll take that all day, ever day.
The 3.5 is adequate in a porker like the Sienna, the same 3.5 in a 3,200 lb Camry is different, last Gen Sienna weighs 4,500 lbs , empty.
I love this vehicle and am working on a decision between this and the Honda. The things that are questions for me are…..middle seats that cannot be removed, as I do frequently need the space, the permanent arm rests on the console, as I like to have space for my arms and not arm rests interferring with movement and the kick opening doors. In the summer these doors would be awesome but in areas that get snow, that builds up on rockers, wheel wells and the back of a vehicle. Snow interferes with back up and side sensors so I assume that it will impede the door openers as well. I do love the hybrid and the warranty on that system, which is not offered with the Honda. I also love having a shifter. My decision is still up in the air!
Just something to look into is the Honda engine problems they sometimes been having over some years now. I haven’t heard sienna having them and just something to look into because I am choosing between these two right now also.
Now, about the sienna’s floor tracks and the thrive row seats, that’s what you should call “corner cutting” they look so cheap and under designed compared to the odyssey and Pacifica.
THANKS JEFF 😍👍
Of course! I've gotten this video request from a lot of people in the past couple months. Was about time lol
I am looking for a quiet interior, thinking of upgrading from 2014 Sienna. Which trim has acoustic windshield and also acoustic front side windows and acoustic sliding door windows. Thank you for review
Go for LX 570. You will get both
@@JustMe-fg6mr 😂 not for the price of sienna
Hey man, thanks for your videos. We pulled the trigger on a new LE plus Sienna today. We made our mind up thanks to your reviews. I do have one question. How do we turn out power side doors on? We can use them via remote but not by kick. There’s gotta be something we can turn on.
The LE doesn’t have the kick open
@@jameswag8473 right, I know. I have the LE plus and it has the little arrows like it’s saying kick here. Maybe they only open via remote. No big deal either way. I just wanted to make sure something wasn’t wrong.
Absolutely and the plus package might give you that option.
@@JayTdub13 There is no kick open on the LE.
@@peterstern5266 yeah, I’ve come to realize that the LE Plus doesn’t have kick sensors. I was under the impression it did. No biggy.
Do the door mirrors do the bouncy dance like the RAV4s?
Hello, I love the white XLE trim and trying to search the inventory but couldn’t find one. Do you know any Toyota that have it?
They should bring back the L stripper trim: Steelies, halogens, no privacy glass, manual seats, no touchscreen, etc..
Hi Jeff which model has Steering assist. I purchased LE model that one do not have Steering Assist
Damn Jeff, you were once a starting point guard for the ATL hawks in the NBA. Now selling cars?
have a 2021 XLE in the same color. love it, best color there is
Did you get a discount at the dealership Or paid whatever they asked for?
power sliding doors are included on the LE models, as well as the footwave opening thing.
The LE and XLE both include power sliding doors but only the XLE has the foot sensors.
We just order the LE, same color, I can't wait to have it, thank you for your review!
Did you ask for discount at the dealership?
@@Ten-ol7nc no we didn't, right now is not time for discounts, we tried that in a different dealership and they don't care if you don't buy, they are going to sell anyway since there is not to many cars
I'm in the market in NY. Are you guys selling at msrp down there too due to covid
I hope Toyota insulated the battery compartment very well on this van, on Prius the batteries under the second seat inside the car that batteries oxidize, corrode, when weather temperature changes and emits gas.
Hi Jeff . Do you have any 2022 siennas ? I can’t find them anywhere
Can the dealership install light bars and winches too?
The pearl is nice but that work truck in the background reminds viewers that pearl is still white. And white is popular with work trucks and vans. The blue actually looks more expensive.
I enjoyed the video.
The keys don't look homologous.
Is the limited even more deluxe than these 2? Consumer reports says there is a lot of plastic for a $43,000.00 vehicles
Forgot to mention, 2nd row seats handles on the LE are fragile and less sturdy, plus the seat belts aren on the wall and not on the seat like the XLE.
Expect a whole lot of cheap plastics all around the car.
Otherwise very fuel efficient and dependable.
Can you remove the 3 roll of sets ?
Like your energy
It is good vedio and everything know about sienna, the van is good in travelling more mileage less expensive I like it
Can the all wheel model be flat towed? Thanks.
I like the Platinum trim, however it seems Toyota is not selling it right now.
Thanks for this review and ubiquitous dad humor. You definitely made me snicker while providing a good comparison.
Do next XLE vs XSE and the other trims that come after XSE.
XSE is mostly about visual improvements. It’s what we just got. It’s basically a better looking XLE.
Neither , you cant remove the second row seats without voiding the warranty so it is just a grocery getter.
This guy has the best dad jokes!
A sido de gran ayuda su video, para tomar la desiciòn d cuál en realidad es la q necesito, muchas gracias. Soy muy sencilla, pero quiero comodidad,calidad y buen precio,con sus garantías, lamentablemente en PR es más cara y ya no se vende mucho, queria saber la mejor opción y ya la tengo, gracias a usted.
do you have any LE available for sale/book?
Took delivery of our loaded out 2021 Sienna XSE last week (color is Blueprint which was in your video). We are moving up from a 2016 XLE. This unit was ordered before they hit the lots so no test drive (I work for Toyota). The only thing that I am disappointed in is the head room, which I haven’t seen much about it in all the online reviews. I am 6’3” and a very large frame. I am used to not fitting well into cars (although my daily driver is a 2015 Scion xB and I love it) but was taken back by how difficult it is for me to get into the vehicle and how far I have to lean the seat back for my head to be “just touching” the headliner. Anyone that is 6 foot tall or taller will be having issues getting in the van (I have lean all the way forward and bend my head into my chest to enter) and if you like sitting upright in a vehicle, you are out of luck. Otherwise, we love it to this point. There is no way I could drive or ride in it on a daily basis. Maybe if I just stick my head out of the moon roof. I will add that the leg room seems to be better than the last model which is a plus.
That's not good. Must be a lot smaller than previous gen.
@@SoulFire209 so upon further research, there is in fact less vertical space in the cabin due to the seats being raised up to fit the battery packs under the seats. It’s something I’ve come to accept as I am not the primary driver of the vehicle. I could never be the primary driver though given the issue. I’ll continue enjoying my Scion xB as my daily driver.
@@danielgeorges3048 awesome. I drive a 2007 toyota matrix which is surprisingly roomy.
Front seat and rear view mirror are optimized for the soccer mom demographic
@@briank10101 can’t argue that point! That being said, my wife is 5’8ish and she feels the roof is too low as well. She does not hit her head on the roof liner but she has cracked it on the upper door opening. It’s something I hope they consider in the next generation….6 or 7 years from now. Still pleased with the unit overall.
Amazing van
Where you get that spec sheet from
It s never sell at MSRP price. Must add at least $5k. Crazy dealership!
Great review! LE for me.
Do they both have the same safety features?
so both xle and le have AWD standard?
Fantastic video! I really appreciate your well thought out and thorough content. I have watched this video several times. I also appreciate the quirky humor. Very fun! More videos please. Subscribe!
Thank you.
The dad style jokes really be hittin', was a pleasant surprise xD
