My Torque News story discusses next-gen 2022 Toyota Tundra and what owners do not want to change www.torquenews...
I am planning to get a mini van for my small family. I went to the Toyota dealer and experienced the new Sienna. The third row with the spare tire on the left side, is actually taking the arm and shoulder space of the left passenger. I don't feel comfortable to sit in the back. Also the interior height is about two inches lower than the previous generation. I fold down the third row seat and let my 3 years old son stand up, I feel that less space compare with the last generation. And the 2nd row seat is smaller than the last generation. If you want to get a van with good fuel efficient. You can go with Toyota.
We bought the XLE FWD with the premium package (entertainment, premium audio, inverter) in early December 2020. We went with the XLE FWD because we wanted 8 seats. The handling is amazing. So smooth, quiet, and we are getting about 36 MPG. No complaints. We plan on keeping this van for 10+ years.
Same here. Just purchased my 2020 Sienna XLE in FWD as I didn't want the 2021 hybrid engine. I will also be keeping this vehicle for 10+ years.
@@PracticalTechnologist We did go for the 2021 because we wanted the hybrid engine. The V6 wi serve you well though.
I don’t know if you see this question but I’m debating about the premium package. Can you let me know a little more about it and if you really love it. It adds a bit more to the XLE cost so I was debating it. I just got called from the dealership to let me know that one was coming in and I need to put money on it if I want it. Thanks for your assistance.
@@janiswilliams2766 We went for the premium package because we wanted the entertainment system for our kids on long road trips. Plus we wanted the better sound system. No regrets.
How do u get 36 mpg on the v6???
I much prefer the smaller diameter rim as it offers a much more comfortable ride; plus it is quite a bit cheaper to replace than the lower profile counterpart. And don't forget the previous generation of Sienna are known for premature tire wear.
You did an excellent job! I got the XLE yesterday. I didn't need an AWD since I have an MDX for that purpose but got one with 8 seats and the rear entertainment for the kids.
Jeff is the only one to lean me towards getting a Sienna as my first new vehicle after making them seen so cool
I'm shocked but it's actually kinda cool to drive a minivan now!!
We were so excited for the new sienna hybrid and have waited a long time for a new van. We compared the 2020 with the 2021, side by side, and test drove both. Went with the 2020. The loss of power, cargo space, along with the addition of the bridge and non removable seats ended up being deal breakers.
We rented a 2021 this weekend because no dealer had one to test drive. It was a very nice drive. In a combination of city and highway driving, including heavy traffic on the highway, it got 35.6 mpg.
I also notice that on the XLE 3:57 the chrome on the upper and lower grill are more polished. Buy on the Limited 3:23 the chrome is less shiny, more matte.
Thank you so much for this comparison. I had been leaning toward the Limited and this confirms me reasoning for wanting it more and being willing to spend the extra money on it. I test drove a FWD XLE yesterday and loved the feel of it. My husband was wowed by the turn radius of it. I'm really hoping my dealership can come through on an AWD Limited for me though.
Come on Toyota, mirror signals/side fender signals are a safety requirement in other countries including Japan. Why the heck don’t you put them on all Sienna models?
WOW! Loved this comparison - so entertaining, too!! Jeff, you are incredible. I wish I could buy from you. Thank you for this video. We have been trying to compare on our own and this was so much better. Definitely want the Limited, but without the entertainment system - we're old (no kids) and want to travel in comfort, but like to take a lot of stuff (i.e. 2 sets of golf clubs, lots of luggage (always too many clothes, but what if it gets hot or cold?), coolers (don't want to get hungry or thirsty and be without), extra hats, shoes, and maybe our hammocks? So, need lots of space and easy access to our stuff. Anyway, loved the video. Please do a Limited vs. Woodland video because we are now considering the Woodland. Also, please tell the interior colors. Thanks again!
1:45 "driving a minivan is cool" said nobody... except Toyotajeff 😄
You just helped me decide which edition to buy. Better than all the salespeople i have come across while trying to find the right minivan for my family. Very entertaining.
Hey Jeff, my husband and I enjoyed your video. It was very informative. Thank you, you've helped us in our research. Boom! Plane!
The best reviews about cars in whole UA-cam period!!!!
Not even close
Yeah what Henry Castro said.
I’m glad Toyota found a way to still provide the spare tire, we won’t buy a car without one.
I would go for the Limited but need 8 passengers. A/c seats, mirror directional, heated steering wheel not in XLE . What a shame. Great comparison, really helped.
Thanks for the review Jeff! My father still drives a 2004 Sienna LE with about 290k miles on it, we bought it back in ‘04 and it still drives like new! He’s looking to upgrade soon, possibly to either a 2020 or 2021. I think either one would make a great choice.
Did he buy it used or new one?
@@alaaibrahim6570 I drive the same van with 203 k miles
This guy was born to review mini vans. Not cars. No only white bread suburbia mini vans. You just know he own a pair of cargo shorts and new balance kicks. Great job Ned Flanders
Jeff, I'm from Boston and subscribed to your channel months ago. This month I find myself in RALEIGH, drove past your dealer and it's wonderful. Once I need to trade in the 2020 Corolla SE I'll come to you :)
The hybrid looks like a great next step!
That moment when he’s demonstrating the 2nd row “super slide seats” and says “Stop looking at my gut!”…and you absolutely were at that very moment. 😂
The Ren and Stimpy quote immediately shot me back to 1995. It was like a time machine.
I love 2021 XLE, but missing few items from older models..
1. 3rd row window open function (missing big time)
2. Internal Height(head room) is low
3. Conversion mirror is so small, its invisible.
4. Trailer Hitch will block liftgate kick open feature
@ the same time love the 38.9 combined mileage in NYC Suburbs, better than announced 36mpg
I like the way you compare them. I like the chrome details and the texture of the limited one.
Your a good salesman, between you and my wife I'm sold on the Sienna!
You have done a better job explaining this vehicle than all the youtube reviewers combined.
Thank you for great review. Watched dozen of videos on the 2021 sienna.
Your review sealed the deal.
I just bought mine yesterday. Xle silver
as an odyssey owner looking to replaced with sienna - i so disappointed with this model. cant remove the seats- cant lock in place when its folded down (3rd row). some minor quality issued all over - flimsy plastics all over - the only highlight of this van is the hybrid. i will definitely wait for honda to make a hybrid version
36 mpg city versus 19 is a huge plus.
Hello Jeff,
You make the most awesome and fun car review videos.
Please make a review video for Toyota Sienna 2023 limited.
Thanks
4:02 did he say "chrome surround sound"? That's a heck of a sound.
Bigger rims will handle turns and sudden lane changes better, car will feel like a train on the rails. I have 2013 Sienna SE with 19" rims so i know. Feels good losing all SUVs on turns if you go fast and they are jealous and try to go as fast. Super heavy SUVs don't have sharper acceleration either, even with GAS hungry V8s, so I'm not sure why people say minivan is old mans ride. SUV is for softer more peaceful driving. If you try to race it. You stuck with poor acceleration, low top speed bad turn handling, crazy fuel economy and risk of roll over. At the end it only looks cooler and can handle mud driving better if you are a fun of it. Drifted from topic,... so smaller rims higher rubber profile gives you more comfort and softness in straight line driving, feeling less potholes but worth handling.
That's awesome. Can you do a comparison between the XLE and the LE? I am really trying to decide between these two. Thanks.
Can the middle row seats come out with the air bags in the front seat not being disabled thus voiding the warrentee?
I really wish Toyota would make an 8 seat limited. The 7 passenger limitation is a major turnoff for me but I'd like the better features of the Limited. Honda doesn't make you choose between a high trim level and 8 seats.
Love your energetic reviews! Keep up the Great Work!
Love your commentary, you crack me up. Buying my sienna soon.
Love the looks of the new sienna
I noticed that the rear bumper is so close to the lift gate that even a small parking lot bump to the bumper would damage the lift gate
Thanks for video, very helpful! Can you do a short video between XLE and XSE if you have time?
Only 12 minutes in but I like the limited 18 wheels better because of its style. Actually I'm liking alot about the limited more except the color, the pearl white is nice. Ill add more questions after I finish the vid xD
I own a 3rd gen Sienna (2013) and I wasn’t in the market for a new minivan until I saw the 2021 redesign. It looks sleek and sexy and I love the upgrades. As much as I like the bells and whistles of the Limited and can’t justify the difference in price. I would go for the XLE. Great video. It provided a lot of the information I was hoping to glean.
Great job Jeff, but a v6 hybrid would have been a more refined ride. The four cylinder is much too noisy for me.
Love the limited, but I don’t like the new design of the console and, it looks so cheap. My 2013 Toyota has a mahogany look and it still looks great after all these years.
I test drove one and it actually looked *very* nice in person…more modern.
from NYC just saw this vid your really good at marketing keep it up the personality was insane !!! good job!!
I LOVEEEEE TOYOTA SIENNA!!!!! I HAD THE LAST MODEL. ITS A TRUE BEAUTY AND A LOVELY FAMILY NINI-VAN. I TRULY ENJOYED YOUR EXPLANATIONS, DESCRIPTIONS, AND HUMOR. THANK YOU AND SEE YOU SOON SIENNA.
Thank you so much for the information. With my family, I am leading to LIMITED design because of 2 thi gs: SECOND ROW HAS NO MIDDLE SEAT SO YOU CAN MOVE TO THE BACK AND YOU CAN MOVE ALL THE WAY BACK like AIRPLANE WITH LEG HOLDING IF THIRD ROW WAS FOLDING UNDERNEATH. It is fix for our family. THE BEST JOB TO GIVE TO BUYERS'. THANKS.
You nailed the Ren voice! I totally got it.
The 17 inch wheels look way to small, the 20 inchers on the XSE are awesome!
Great review. The Sienna Limited looks much better than the Sienna XLE. What about Remote Engine Start feature on XLE And Limited Trim Levels?
That was so much fun to watch! Not to mention, it was very informative. Thanks, Jeff!
I like the new sienna. It's ridiculous you can't get the 360 camera on the xle or above. Ridiculous platinum only.
Agreed, 360 should be an option on ANY trim. I get that they want to charge extra for it but make it available.
Great video - somehow Jeff kept me interested through the whole thing!
Jeff you crack me up with your pop culture references dude.
Thank you man , I just bought one and watched all your videos
The exterior is nice but I prefer the exterior of the previous generation sienna
Yea I’m not feeling that new exterior at all
I had a new 2015 sienna limited the big problem is door sides , 2 time are broken down I spent $3000 to fix and each time 5 days took to dealership fix it, other than is a good van
Jeff, could you please do a comparison between XLE and XSE
I actually picked up the XSE, biggest difference is the all black interior which was a must for me with kids. The upgrade for the 9in and JBLs in 1k, rather than 2k in the XLE. It pretty much had all of my wanted upgrades without feeling like I splurged.
@@Ghettostamps XSE AWD doesn’t have black interior
@@lelongg2588 It's the only model that does.
@@Ghettostamps hi Chris, how much did you get yours before tax? Did you get the XLE plus package or/and entertainment package?
Hi I do have a lot of interest in Sienna XLE but the only 2 observations I have are
1. the large space under the gear selector should be covered for more secret and reservations of documents.
2. the screen in front should be convertible ie can be open or closed for more driving view depending on the user preference.
Cheers Toyota sienna My choiceeeeeeee
I´d love to see a review with a new Sienna fully loaded of people and baggage on a hill to prove that 4 cilinder and electric motor perform well.
Remember that electric motors mean instant torque. The power train total is over 300 ft lbs of torque which is more than sufficient. Now whether Toyota lets all of that potential do work is the question.
I will be purchasing a new vehicle in spring of 2023. Hoping it will be a hybrid 4Runner limited if the redesign happens. Had a 4R from 1996-2011 and just loved it. I would never take it off-road. Would be for antiquing road trips and flea market set-ups. Sienna Limited would be a back-up choice.
Love your “Cobra Kai” style!! 👌🏻👌🏻👍⭐️⭐️
Thanks for being so through and entertaining. This really helps me decide which trim to shop for. Really liking the Limited.
Hi Jeff, need to compare the Limited vs Platinum please. Love your channel. Like.
Great Eddie Money tribute at the end.
It felt right!!
I'm seriously wanting the sunset Limited AWD. I LOVE my Tacoma and it's still running GREAT even after 14 years and 270000 miles but at my age with grandkids now.... I'm thinking it might be time to take the plunge back to the comfort and accommodating minivan and this just feels right. But THAT STICKER
$🧐😳,😕😶🙃.🤪🤪
Hello Jeff, thank you for the comparison, answered all our questions. When do you expect 2022 Sienna to be released? And do you expect carry over of 2021 model? Thanks!
Plane! Wish I lived in Raleigh, would totally come to your dealership, thanks for the details!
Thanks you Jeff for creating this helpful video. Of course I love the Limited with all the bels and whistles, but my question is... How much $ do I save if I step down to XLE? And, is it worth it?
Again, thank you for your hard work. 👍
Thank you Jeff. Trying to understand 7 vs 8 seater. Can the 2nd row middle seat stowed into floor or removed to use that space for 3rd row access?
19:39 actually, no, the XLE in this video is the 8-passenger model and it doesn't have super long slide. Super long slide is only on the 7-passenger vans.
Thanks for sharing the vid. I think Toyota has some work to do to say the least.
1. At $55,512 msrp, with all the options and packages, you would think you could just push a button to let down the 3rd row seats.
2. And be able to take out the 2nd row seats but you can't. Designers and Engineers gone wild and smoke weeds together.
3. It only has Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 2.0, it is the latest model in the Toyota's line up, yet a 2021 Camry, which is a carry over has TSS 2.5+, and it only cost half as much? What is going on? I think they are just trying to milk the hard working average American families. That is really a shame for Toyota, for a family like mine looking for safety, how can the latest model does not even have TSS 2.5+, it is a scam Toyota!
XLE would be my choice. I agree with another comment that the 17 inch wheel gives a better ride and like the less shiny look, also I have a 2012 Highlander in blizzard white pearl and it still shines like new ... so I’d take white all day. Great review!
I am looking for a quiet interior. Which one has acoustic windshield and acoustic side door windows?
Those minivans would make any soccer mom look 10x hotter!!!!
Awesome video ! I wished i were closer to your dealership and Id buy 1 from you ! The XLE is perfect for us!
Jeff what was your first family mini van? My mom drove those 1980s Dodge Caravans when they were very popular
We had a few Dodge Caravans growing up and I have driven a Ford Windstar about 20 years ago :)
I had a 1993 Chrysler Town and Country, and it was a piece of crap, my 2004 Sienna is much better.
Nice detailed & fun review!
Can u do a video comparison between the Avalon Touring vs Limited?
Awesome review, this help me my decision to buy which version of sienna
Like your video,here is suggestion:Most of the people looking for 2021 sienna has been known there are very little different between XLE & Limited,just like the 2011-2020 model.If you can tell the difference between LE & XSE,that’s the way mostly buyers wants to know.
Between LE and XSE you want?
Excellent review. Thanks.
Thanks very much!!!
Great review. I would suggest investing in a remote lapel mic. so your voice doesn't modulate when approach and retreat from the camera.
Jeff was hilarious...I will be buying the Limited for sure.
Thanks Jeff, very helpful review...iPhone 12 is awesome, but hope you could grab a Progo with much better streaming quality and stability in particular when you're moving in and out doing interior review.
no v6 tho big sad. 150 000 miles later the battery needs replacing and there go all your fuel savings. and if you just lease cars forever to not keep them until 150k miles what savings are you even making lol there are no savings to be made. if you have to think about fuel savings with hybrids while leasing you probably shouldn't be leasing! otherwise just get something with a v8 for the most fun! lol
Sienna is fantastic but I noticed that 3rd row seat does not go down flat like the previous version. I usually fold down 3rd row seat for cargo , so able to slide it in n slide out is important. So is there any toyota accessory that will fix that? Thanks!
I really love the limited .....a very good comparison
I have a 16 year old odyssey that I don't want to let go, cause of the body, huge body.. meanwhile all the newer editions like other mini vans have gotten smaller.. I would like the 2021 sienna or odyssey outside look, and inside new tech but with the old huge body space
Does the entertainment screen block the view for rear view mirror ?
8:30 imagine you have your hands full you do the kick motion and you fall 😂😂😭💀
Great job Jeff. Loved it and very informative. If you slid the 2nd row captain chairs back, can you fit a wheelchair in there? Thx
Like the limited better!. Thanks for the review
I would do the Limited in Blizzard Peral and same interior
I thought we would hear the pros on the inverter option?
Great details Jeff, anyway can the limited add another seat at the middle of the second row?
I wish that they offered the spare tire here in Canada. We tend to have some long drives up in The Great White North. They also don't have the roof rails on the XLE here. If the dollar was stronger again, I would head to Buffalo to make a purchase.
Very 👍 good and informative 👍! I needed thid
Jeff is great. Thank you for this
Hahaha! You're too funny Jeff. Awesome video! Love it. Subscribed!
Can you make a comparison 25th ed with limited
