2021 TOYOTA SIENNA FULL WALKAROUND - HYBRID, AWD, FRIDGE AND A VACUUM?

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Toyota Sienna marks a significant evolution, exclusively adopting a hybrid powertrain across all trims, including the AWD option. The reviewer highlights the Platinum and XSE trims, noting the Platinum's luxurious features like an 11.6-inch rear entertainment system, refrigerator/freezer, and vacuum cleaner, all part of a package that enhances practicality. The XSE trim is presented as the sportier option with unique styling cues and blacked-out accents. A key improvement noted is the functional power liftgate, addressing a previous deal-breaker. The reviewer praises the spacious second-row with its 25-inch sliding rails and the overall comfortable ride, despite the shift from a V6 to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid system, which produces 243 horsepower. While final fuel economy figures are pending, an estimated 7.1 L/100km combined is provided. Standard safety features, including Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, are also emphasized. The reviewer concludes that the Sienna remains the most practical vehicle for its intended purpose, now enhanced with hybrid efficiency and modern technology.
