THE MOST COMFORTABLE VEHICLE WE HAVE TESTED: 2022 TOYOTA SIENNA PLATINUM AWD FAMILY REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD is lauded as an exceptionally comfortable family vehicle, earning the title of 'most comfortable' tested by the reviewers. Its interior is praised for its luxurious, "living room on wheels" feel, highlighted by reclining second-row captain's chairs with ottomans, a 1080P rear entertainment system, and four-zone climate control, making it ideal for long road trips and family entertainment. The exterior styling is noted for being more SUV-like than a traditional minivan, with sculpted lines and Supra-inspired cues. Positives include the hybrid powertrain offering excellent fuel economy (35 mpg combined for AWD), ample storage, and a plethora of cupholders and charging ports. However, the low rear hatch height is a significant drawback for taller individuals, and the reviewer experienced headaches with the digital rearview mirror. While the lane-keep assist was found to be overly intrusive, the overall driving experience is described as smooth and easy, with a comfortable ride. The vehicle is seen as a long-term investment that can grow with a family, particularly appealing to those with teenagers or for adult groups on extended journeys.
