WALKAROUND
The new 2011 Toyota Sienna does not look exactly like a minivan, due to the fact that a variety of classic minivan aesthetic hints have actually been removed. It has a wider stance, with wider flared shoulders, as well as a more compelling, modern front confront with sophisticated, very angular headlamps. The lights have projector lights as well as halogen high beams combined in a compact, slim design.
From the side, the 2011 Sienna looks much sleeker overall, and much less boxy in appearance compared to previously. The track for the moving rear doors is entirely concealed, so the rear doors look like they belong on a sedan or crossover SUV. The back home windows are shaped in a tapered trapezoid and inclined inward like a car, once more negating the typical blocky minivan appearance.
The rear has actually been developed with a reduced, wide bumper and also a roof covering looter that conceals the rear wiper, for a stronger, cleaner appearance. LED tail as well as stop lights are used, which illuminate more quickly as well as eat less power.
In general, the exterior looks cleaner and also sleeker, and also it is. Aerodynamic job, consisting of underbody covers to assist manage air movement, has reduced the coefficient of drag to 0.306.
There are numerous differences from design to model. Each has a distinct grille, varying from the flashy mesh grille on the SE to the chrome four-slot arrangement on the Limited. Join 17-, 18-, as well as 19-inch wheels are made use of depending on the model as well as choices. SE, XLE as well as Limited models have actually incorporated front haze lamps, as well as Limited has HID headlamps as an alternative. The SE has dark chrome accents around the lights and also smoked headlight covers.
The Sienna SE obtains special designing cues. The front has a much more aggressive appearance. Side skirting aesthetically decreases the lorry and smoked headlights and taillights make a distinctive declaration. Aerodynamic forming hugs the common 19-inch alloy wheels. The SE rests reduced, on a sport-tuned suspension.
INSIDE
The 2011 Sienna interior is clearly high-style. From the motorist and also guest perspective, the cabin makes use of streaming lines and also rounded controls to achieve a sense of linked, incorporated style. Plainly visible at the base of the facility pile is a form, something like a tadpole, that tapers laterally toward the guest, to produce the sensation that there is even more room to share. To our eye, it's contemporary and also reliable, preventing the facility stack from appearing like a stack of squared-off rectangle-shaped boxes. Instead, the layout suggests shared area as well as control areas, in a newly modern ambience.
Style aside, the facility pile includes the typical controls, with the message center on top, the audio system simply below, the environment control system below that, as well as storage and also comfort functions, such as cupholders as well as 12-volt plugs, at the lowest degree. The shifter lies on the dashboard, closest to the vehicle driver, freeing center console area for storage.
There are 3 tool styles, but the common analog system makes use of bright blue numbering with red needles. In all 3 styles, a huge speedometer and also tach are incorporated with gas and also temperature evaluates. The automatic transmission variety and also odometer are shown on the LCD in the center of the meter, and also an ECO-drive light has been added to suggest economical driving. The dash products and also cloth upholstery look good sufficient, although the top items of the control panel, while beautifully textured, end up being hard plastic.
The guiding wheel, cushioned and also contoured, has buttons for audio system control left wing as well as Bluetooth phone control left wing. The wheel turns as well as telescopes.
The pole positions are passenger-car comfortable. They are six-way flexible on the base Sienna version, as well as power eight-way flexible on all various other versions, with memory readily available for the vehicle driver on Minimal versions. The front guest seats are four-way, with power adjustability available on the Limited. The Sienna seats currently take a trip concerning an inch farther, forward and back, as compared to the previous generation, as well as have much longer, larger paddings and adjustable armrests. Leather-trimmed and also warmed seats are standard on the XLE and Limited.
Second-row comfort was obviously a layout priority. The second-row seats are mounted on long sliders, 25.6 inches in length, so they can be relocated extremely much forward or extremely far back, depending on the method the interior have to be configured for individuals or cargo. With the seats at gotten used to the limit, a walk-in island is developed, large enough for an adult to walk through to assist a youngster or an older passenger. With the second row seats changed completely onward, walk-in access to the 3rd row comes to be feasible.
Eight-passenger designs use a setup that divides seating in a 40/20/40 percentage. That makes the second-row center seat little about both outdoors seats, possibly just actually valuable for smaller people. When not being used, the facility seat can be gotten rid of and stowed in a specially-designed compartment in the back, converting the 2nd row to captain's chairs with room between. The conventional chairs are quite comfy, but there is also an optional Lounge Seating function available with Restricted that outfits the second-row captain's chairs with extended foot rests.
On particular models, the back half of the center console can be prolonged rearward concerning a foot into the traveler area. With the console moved rearward, second-row travelers have more easily gotten to cupholders as well as an additional useful storage space option.
Third-row seats are split 60/40, and fold flat with one touch. The third-row hip factor is currently two inches even more back, which converts right into leg-room for the third row residents, as well as the seats recline a little bit also.
Flexibility was one more layout top priority, along with the ability to reconfigure the inside for different mixes of individuals and cargo. To transform from lugging individuals to bring freight, the Sienna's third-row seats easily fold level as well as, when the second-row seats are folded far forward, 117 cubic feet of cargo location becomes available. With the second-row seats got rid of altogether, cargo location increases to 150 cubic feet. Despite just the third-row seats folded up flat, there is 87 cubic feet of stowage behind the 2nd row.
An oversized display for the home entertainment system is offered for the Limited designs that's large enough to divide into two screens in case rear-seat residents desire amusement from two different resources. That allows for playing a computer game on half of the display, and showing a film on the various other. Wireless headphones are available. The display is unusually large, large sufficient for third-row passengers to see.
Tri-zone automated climate control is conventional on Sienna, LE as well as SE models, as is a cabin air filter that avoids plant pollen and dust from entering the car.
The navigation system, a voice-activated, touch-screen system, is available on LE and Limited designs. It supports an incorporated backup electronic camera with two sights, and also the 10-speaker JBL stereo, plus Bluetooth-capable sound tools. The system allows the individual to regulate the resource gadget making use of the cars and truck's guiding wheel controls to play, pause and look for.
Toyota Security Attach consists of automated crash alert, an emergency assistance switch with 24-hour roadside assistance as well as the capability to find a taken automobile by GPS. It comes requirement on all designs, with a 1 year trial subscription.
