Everything about Toyota Sienna totally explained
Not to be confused with Toyota Sienta.
The
Toyota Sienna is a
minivan currently built in the
United States for the North American market, and shares its platform and engine with the
Toyota Camry. It will be exported to emerging markets like China by the year 2010. The Sienna replaced the
Previa in 1998 as a more conventional
front wheel drive van, and was updated in 2004 as a larger model.
Second generation (2004-2008)
In January 2003, the second generation Sienna was shown at the
Detroit Auto Show. Production shifted to
Princeton, Indiana, and the Georgetown plant was retooled to build the second generation
Camry Solara. The new Sienna had a 3.3 L engine from the Camry. The new Sienna, larger than the first generation, offered features such as a fold-flat 60/40 third-row seat, eight passenger seating, backup sensors, rear view
camera, kid view mirror, available
all wheel drive, a navigation system, and a more luxurious XLE Limited model. Fuel economy was rated as 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. (17 mpg city 23 mpg highway for AWD)
In July 2005, changes for the 2006 model year were announced. The front fascia, side molding, and rear taillights were redesigned. The measurements for horsepower and torque were changed to the
SAE's new specifications (to 215
hp and 222
ft·lbf.). Optitron gauges were added to LE, XLE, and Limited trims. The "XLE" prefix in "XLE Limited" was cut off. A power driver's seat memory option was also added to XLE and Limited trims as well as
dual powered side sliding doors.
Bluetooth capability and power-folding third row seats were also added as options. Side and curtain air bags were changed to standard for all models. The optional rear seat audio system was discontinued. For 2007, new wheel designs, as well as a new standard 3.5 liter V6 putting out became available.
