Whats New?
The Toyota Sienna returns
for the 2013 minus the four-cylinder engine it offered for the past two years.
For the 2013 model year Toyota is adding more features to the Sienna’s most
popular version.
Styling and Under the
Hood
Toyota does a great job at
giving the Sienna into a modern look. The front end features a low grille and a
smooth rectangular roofline that offers better utility since it increases interior
space.
Since the four-cylinder
engine is no longer offered, all 2013 Sienna’s now come standard with a
3.5-liter V-6 with 266 horsepower engine that comes mated to a six-speed
automatic. Gas mileage figures for the 2013 model year are 16 – 18 mpg city and
23 – 25 mpg highway. The 2013 Sienna offers electric power steering and
independent suspension.
Interior
At more than 200 inches
long and more than 78 inches wide, the Sienna offers plenty of interior space,
even in the third row. The front seats include an eight-way power adjustable
driver's seat and four-way power passenger throne and the second row can be
equipped with a pair of available airline-style reclining bucket seats.
If you chose to go with the
basic interior, it offers a comfortable and roomy removable second row bench
that slides on an elongated track so that either second- or third-row leg room
can be expanded, as well as to aid passengers get into the third row. The
third-row seat is able to fold flat into the ground. Fold the back seats and
push the middle seats pushed forward and the 2013 Sienna has 150 cubic feet of
cargo space.
Features
Standard features for the
2013 Toyota Sienna include safety features such as curtain airbags and stability
control, a rearview camera and available Bluetooth. For 2013 all upper trims
come standard with blind-spot monitors.
Standard on every 2013
Sienna models are dual sliding side doors; power mirrors, windows, and locks,
cruise control; a CD player with an auxiliary jack, a tilt/telescoping steering
wheel; and three-zone climate control.
Higher trims of the Sienna
will come equipped with power sliding side doors and a power tailgate as well
as leather upholstery, heated front seats, steering-wheel audio controls, a
dual sunroof, a 16.4-inch-wide LCD screen and a DVD player to keep the two back
rows of passengers entertained, and which can even be split side by side so
that one side can be dedicated to one source such as a video game, and the
other one to a movie.
