2015 Toyota Sienna Review - First Drive 

The interior actually looks far more luxurious the ever before. The dash looks a lot like the current Avalon's.

Simply the best minivan out there

You should do a 2015 minivan shotout (Honda Oddessy v Toyota Sienna v Dodge Grand Caravan v Kia Sedona)

Its 2020 and the honda odyssey still uses a timing belt.. One of the main reason we went with toyota...

Sienna has had Radar based Cruise control since 2011 but at $1900 its very difficult to find.

Thank you so much to explaining the details of the new upgrades.. very helpful.

I've watched another video of the 2015 Sienna by AutoBytel who had a Toyota representative talk about the car with greater detail. He reminded me of the antenna mast that we had on our $33,000 2011 Sienna XLE which after driving on the highway was wobbling back and forth like one of those air puppets you see on top of buildings. I ended up replacing it with 10-inch version that looked aesthetically battery and didn't move while driving into the wind. But it took Toyota 4-years later to remove it and place in the glass like all modern 2000-era cars. Unlike Chrysler, who usually de-contents their vehicles after they are launched, it would appear that Toyota does the opposite to keep up with the competition. Perhaps buying the 1st MY of the 3rd generation wasn't the best idea, and we should have bought the 3rd generation Honda Odyssey just before the 4th generation came out. Don't get me wrong, I really like the updated interior of the Sienna. Never liked it in the first place, compared to the 4th gen Odyssey. But I much preferred the exterior styling of the Sienna compared to the Odyssey mish-mash of shapes. And no Honda dealer would even talk to you lowering the MSRP on a 1-month old car compared to the 6-month old Sienna.

I was surprised when it was said in the video that Toyota is just now offering Dynamic Cruise Control (or Adaptive Cruise Control). I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD, and it has it, as well as navigation and a back up camera. I can't even get the 2015 Sienna AWD with Dynamic Cruise Control. You can only get it with the FWD models, which is highly disappointing. That is why I may just stick with my wonderful 2004 model until they put the two together again. I WANT AWD, AND Dynamic Cruise Control all in my one vehicle! I also like the top of the line model, which I think is now a Limited Premium.

Eh, it's better, but the Honda Odyssey is sill the king of vans. In general, everything is just better on the Odyssey than the Sienna. These include quality, fit and finish, usability, safety, design, reliability, mpg, and etc. Throughout the years, out of all the vans, the Odyssey is always the one being awarded, praised and recommended by many reviewers. The only other minivan that has a chance of matching the Odyssey is the new Kia Sedona. I'd rather have a vacuum, cool box, or a lane watch camera than a thing to make me louder in the back.

I think it's lame that Toyota offers heated steering wheels in the Highlander/Sienna but not in the 4Runner or Tacoma. People actually use the 4runner and Tacoma doing outdoor activities in the cold so Toyota needs to get their act together.

Didn't XLE/Limited Siennas have radar based cruise control back in 2008 or so?

What is the newest but used Vanlife Sienna?

Nice review... I am happy with my 2014 Nissan Quest LE...

if i ever have to start watching mini van reviews someone shoot me

Why do the 2011-2014 ride so rough?

The day I have to drive one of these is the day I hand in my drivers license....

Hope you enjoyed Hawaii's Big Island.

Made a name for itself with a really luxurious interior? What exactly are you on my friend? I mean my god.....

Finally, Toyota woke up and brush up the interior a little bit with soft touch dash... those hard and cheapo plastic dash got to go! I still have my 2007 Sienna and purring along fine with same engine they are still using in 2015. I wish Toyota updated the engine to DGI and add a couple more gears to the transmission but probably live by this philosophy "If it ain't break don't fix it" ~ the V6 they use for all their cars is very reliable so far.

Can you do the Honda Odyssey first drive

I feel like the new Kia Sedona would be a better looking minivan to drive, plus it looks gorgeous on the interior in SX trim. Comparison time! :D

Kia carnival or Toyota sienna

the god damn odyssey comes with a shop vac and a cooler.... and VTEC... I mean... thats just genius. granted i hope i never have enough kids to have to ditch my 1992 celica GT 5 speed. BUT if i had to buy my wife a minivan it would be a black odyssey touring.

can you guy do the 2015 Honda CR-V review?

Standard blind spot monitoring?! No

is the guy Canadian? :)

Like the citroen c4 grand piccaso more.

At least the postage stamp is gone.

My name is Sienna

it's funny people think Odyssey is better, google honda vcm issue, or honda transmission problem - honda odyssey is the least reliable honda. there's lawsuit settlement for the vcm but there's no fix for the excessive oil consumption for this engine. www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/honda_odyssey.html

is this guy in hawaii

Why doesn't a company make a true sporty aggressive van so ppl wouldn't be ashamed to drive them?

I used to love the oddyssey heck i use to be a huge fan of it.. but toyota is leaving honda in the dust, this minivan toyota is producing here i can straight up put a lexus badge and people would believe it, is so sexy looking and luxurious... honda step youre game up that oddyssey is ugly and looks so dated...

Get yourself something like a Volvo xc90, better styling, better interior, more or less the same space.

Lol you vacationing in Hawaii or something?

sales or sienna xle write paycheck paper gr

Toyota couldn't make a new age good looking sexy car if they tried! They need new designers and engineers

look like from 2005
