Toyota Sienna, 2005
This minivan is designed to receive maximum comfort. The salon is very comfortable with 7 seats. The 3rd row and the last 3 seats, of course, are not so comfortable, but people can withstand a 1.5 hour trip on them without any problems. The Toyota Sienna's engine is very powerful (3.3 liters, like the Lexus RX330) and high-torque, accelerating to 100 km in about 8 seconds. Automatic 5-speed, adaptive. Consumption in the region of 16-18 - city. Unfortunately, I didn’t drive it on the highway less than 130-140, so I can’t surprise you with modest numbers, about 14 liters. The car is very large, in dimensions it is 8 cm longer than the Lexus 570 and wider than many cars. What I really like about the Toyota Sienna is a lot of space in all directions, after 3 months in the Sienna I took a taxi ride in a Subaru Impreza, to be honest, it’s a very strange feeling because before it seemed comfortable to drive it, you ride like you're in a capsule. WITH purchasing a Toyota The Sienna began to travel frequently on highways, during which time it visited Astana, Issyk-Kul, Khorgos, for example, before that, in almost 5 years of operation, it drove a Subaru 3 times at a distance of more than 100 km from the city. For those who are looking at a Toyota Sienna for themselves, I would like to note once again that the car is huge in size and relatively inexpensive when using gasoline. If you need to carry more than 5 people or take some kind of cargo, you will not regret it. For example, I use the trunk every day (I have folded the 3rd row of seats 10 times over the entire period), I have transported 3-meter-long tabletops and sofas, I constantly carry various other materials necessary for the functioning of my furniture workshop. Once our truck broke down, it took 2 days to deliver it in a Sienna.
Advantages : great salon. Rich equipment. Comfort.
Flaws : Thick A-pillars obstruct visibility.

Toyota Sienna, 2008
“Sienna” turned out to be very playful and nimble on the move and in maneuvers, which is not what you would expect, looking at its impressive size. Acceleration is simply super (the updated 3.5-liter engine is a joy). You constantly have to look at the speedometer, because... you don’t notice how you accelerated over the top permissible limit. In addition, the Toyota Sienna drives very smoothly and softly. So soft that youngest child constantly falls asleep on the way. Apparently he's getting motion sickness. At the same time, there is no roll in corners. The steering wheel is very clear and informative - no worse than on a Lexus. Change lanes from row to row in one movement. If you need to accelerate, you press the gas, and the car just shoots. At a speed of 110 km/h, the engine speed is about 2000. When accelerating from a standstill, it rarely exceeds 3000. In general, the dynamics are on par. The turning radius is simply superb. Didn't expect this big car can turn around literally on the spot. Lexus needs more turning space. Fuel consumption is also good. At uniform motion on the highway at a speed of 110 km/h trip computer shows 7-8 liters per hundred. In the city - about 12 liters. Yes, not the best economical car, but one of the most economical among those that can comfortably carry 7 people. Eats regular gasoline Regular - in Russia the closest analogue is 92nd. The salon is very spacious. The middle row has two separate seats. They can be placed on the left and right, so that there is a passage between them, or they can be placed together, moving the right one to the center (as we did). Both seats can be completely removed. The rear one seats three and folds 60-40 and stows into the floor. So the Toyota Sienna, if desired, can be used to transport furniture and cargo. In general, it’s a transforming salon. The vehicle's cross-country ability was not checked, because... nowhere. But I don’t think it will get through mud or off-road. Not an SUV, that's for sure. Our Sienna has front-wheel drive.
Advantages : a comfortable minivan that is perfect for a large family.
Flaws : I do not see.

Toyota Sienna, 2008
Great family car, universal in the best sense of the word. Very comfortable as passenger car, all 7 passengers are accommodated comfortably, although if the first and second rows of seats can be classified as first class, then the third rather belongs to the second class. Roomy Toyota Sienna in the role cargo van- up to 4.22 m3 volume. Like excellent dynamics: acceleration to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds (according to tests by Car and Driver magazine), that is, at the level good sedan. True, the transmission sometimes does not shift clearly enough, especially the first three gears, but the higher stages (fourth and fifth) work clearly. I think this is due to the imperfection of the “brains” of the box, because it is adaptive. The engine deserves praise: 3MZ-FE, 230 hp, 329 Nm. Thanks to the variable phases of the intake cycle and the variable length of the intake pipes with resonant tuning, the torque characteristic curve is very smooth and stretched. Almost since idle speed Toyota engine The Sienna pulls powerfully and confidently. An important advantage of the Sienna is its efficiency. He eats gasoline very sparingly. With a curb weight of about 1900 kg, highway consumption fluctuates around 9 liters per 100 km. There are, of course, more in the city. But just for a circle (driving around the city, standing in many kilometers of traffic jams on the highway) it turns out to be a little more than 11 liters per hundred, and regular 92-octane gasoline.
Advantages : versatility. Equipment. Comfort.
Flaws : automatic transmission operation.

Toyota Sienna is a D-class minivan. It is not officially supplied to Russia. The model debuted on the North American market in 1997. The car arrived at shift Toyota Previa.

In the eight-seat configuration, the second row is one shared seat. Wherein middle part the chairs can be moved close to the first row of seats, this is important if you use Baby chair so that the child is closer. The third row of seats folds in a 6/4 ratio into a flat area without removing the headrests, while creating additional cargo space. In addition, in some models the front passenger seat folds down to form a table. A large number of storage drawers and cup holders are a nice and convenient detail in Toyota interior Sienna. All three rows of seats are equipped with side airbags.
Sienna II is equipped with an electronic five-speed automatic transmission together with a transversely mounted 3.3-liter six-cylinder engine producing 233 hp.
