Sienna

Awards, accolades and honors are nice, but they aren’t everything. For example, the Sienna won a 2010 Motor Trend Minivan Comparison Test, proving itself to be the best among two of its chief competitors. That’s great, but

let’s put that aside for the time being.

Honors like that only paint part of the picture. Instead, how would you like to hear about the top notch safety and entertainment features offered by Sienna?

You and your family will probably be spending a lot of time in the family minivan, so you want to keep everyone occupied, entertained and comfortable. The Sienna has plenty of features to fulfill these wishes, like the available Dual-View Entertainment center with wireless headphones and easy-clean fabric seats. The rear seats of the Sienna become a veritable theater, with two different entertainment options to choose from, while up front you can enjoy your favorite satellite radio station or listen to a selection from your iPod on the optional JBL® premium sound system. Enjoy the peace and quiet of a content family.

Know your family is safe and protected by legendary Toyota safety features. Sienna has airbags throughout the cabin in case of a crash, as well as the Safety Connect® emergency response system to alert authorities and get help as quick as possible. You never want to be involved in a traffic accident, but it’s nice to know you are protected if the unthinkable happens.

Safety and comfort are huge priorities when you spend a lot of time in your vehicle, and Sienna can deliver exactly the things you need in a minivan.

When you set out to buy a minivan, you want the very best you can afford. You and your family will be spending a lot of time in there going from place to place, so you want to be sure that you are all safe and comfortable.

Every family needs a vacation, and sometimes getting there is half the fun of the trip. Being out together on the open road, everyone has a chance to bond in ways they would not be able being crammed into a plane for just a few hours. The Sienna makes these types of bonding experiences possible, by having the capacity to transport your entire family in comfort and safety. Let’s look at some of the ways the Sienna may be able to make your next trip worry-free.

The Sienna’s interior is basically designed for a pleasant family travel experience. It features three zones of climate control, so no longer does everyone have to agree on one temperature inside the car. This is particularly handy considering the Sienna can seat up to eight passengers, meaning there could be a lot of different temperature preferences in the van at once.

The available navigation and entertainment options make the trip easier, providing precise directions and keeping the driver protected from distractions by keeping the passengers occupied. The available XM® satellite radio, iPod® connectivity and DVD entertainment system are varied enough for everyone to find something to keep themselves busy. For those long trips, the Sienna’s available entertainment features can be a real life saver.

Hitting the road for a family vacation does not have to be a chore, and the Sienna does it’s part to make every trip a pleasant event.

It’s always nice to have options, but the downside is that it can sometimes be difficult to choose. When it comes to mid-size SUVs, Toyota’s lineup contains two good options, which can make your choice between them a tricky one. However, by considering a number of factors about the Highlander and 4Runner, as well as your own needs, you can determine which would be the better choice for you.

Mid-size SUVs can serve a few different functions. If you need a vehicle to fit your whole family, but don’t want to go the minivan route, then the Highlander is what you will want to look at. It features three rows of seats, so you can fit everyone comfortably and without causing a stir. Entertainment features include an optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system to keep everyone entertained and happy, so you can focus on driving. The Highlander also gets good EPA estimated gas mileage for its class, delivering up to an estimated 24 miles per gallon highway. The Hybrid model stretches fuel further, with an EPA estimated 28 miles per gallon both city and highway.

2011 Toyota 4Runner

If your SUV needs to be more about rugged performance than comfortable family transportation, however, consider the 4Runner. The 4Runner also has available third row seating, but with rugged features like a powerful V6 engine, available 4-wheel drive and ground clearance starting at nine inches, it is designed to handle more diverse terrain.

Whichever mid-size SUV you choose, carefully considering your needs is an important step in shopping.

2011 Toyota Sienna

Family road trips are a tradition, dating back to the days of covered wagons along the Oregon Trail. The technology has come a long way since then, but still sometimes putting all the kids together in the car for a long period of time can cause some unpleasant experiences. Fortunately, the Sienna may be able to help you with that.

The Sienna offers three rows of seats, with available seating for up to eight people, allowing it to comfortably fit the entire family inside. This much space can come in real handy as the road trip grows longer so you don’t have to listen to complaints that “he’s on my side!”

You may think the peace of mind accompanying the roominess is benefit enough, but there are other amenities of the Sienna that can make those long trips easier. To capture the kids’ attention in the back, the available Dual-View Entertainment Center includes a single-disc DVD player and two sets of wireless headphones. Other options include XM® satellite radio and iPod® connectivity, which can be great if you need something to enjoy up front while the movie is playing in back.

Other optional amenities on the Sienna include the voice-activated touch-screen navigation system, which can be a big help to avoid frustrating unplanned detours and get everyone to the destination as quickly as possible. They say getting there is half the fun, but spearheading a lost and frustrated group is no fun at all.

All these options and features, along with award-winning safety and engineering, make Sienna an ideal choice as a family vehicle.

2011 Sequoia DVD Navigation System

One of the first things you’ll be asked when you go in to discuss your next Toyota vehicle is what options you are interested in. Some people are interested only in the stock vehicle. There’s nothing wrong with that – Toyota has some of the best stock features of any vehicle line up out there. But, Toyota also has a number of highly touted options and upgrades to enjoy if you are interested.

First up is the hottest optional upgrade of the moment – the DVD voice navigation. Getting from point A to point B could not be any easier with this feature in your vehicle. Combine it with the multi-informational display and the optional backup camera, and driving gets a whole lot easier.

2011 Highlander Rear DVD Entertainment System

For those with children, the Sienna and larger SUV models like the Highlander and Sequoia offer a rear DVD entertainment system, sometimes with an optional headphone jack upgrade. For the driver and passenger up front, leather trimmed seats, heated seats, and adjustable movement make it much easier to get comfortable.

Towing kits for the larger vehicles are also very popular. The Sienna along with many of the SUV models provide towing kit upgrade options that allow you to haul a small trailer or a full vehicle with you on your next road trip.

Whatever your needs, know that Toyota has the upgrades and options necessary to make your next vehicle the perfect match for your family. From sliding moon roofs to hands free calling, customize your vehicle as you see fit.

2011 Toyota Sienna

For years, minivans have been synonymous with moving as many people as possible from point A to point B. However, the Toyota Sienna aims to remedy that stigma by offering a slew of features that go above and beyond simple mobility, especially in keeping your children happy and entertained on those long drives.

The Toyota Sienna is a great choice for anyone interested in space. With plenty of seating and third row options available, you’ll never run out of space for your children and their friends. However, it goes well beyond space. The Sienna has so many more options than most mini-van owners are used to seeing. Heated seat options in the upgraded models, eight way power seats, added 12V outlets for plugging in devices, tons of extra storage and grocery hooks, and the option packages loaded with entertainment availability make the Sienna perfect for both long and short trips with the whole family.

The base model Sienna comes with three zone air conditioning so everyone in the vehicle is comfortable and happy and for those with an interest in top notch technology, there are packages for voice activated touch screen navigation and rear entertainment systems in the higher end Sienna models like the SE.

Forget what you think you know about minivans. That stigma has passed. If you need a vehicle that will keep up with your family and their rambunctious ways, the Toyota Sienna is the perfect place to start your search. There is no easier way to move seven or eight people than in a Sienna.

The 2011 Sienna is a stylish, comfortable and safe minivan that combines responsive driving with a spacious and luxurious interior. It’s also versatile, offering 5 different models from which to choose.

The baseline Sienna model seats 7 and comes with a powerful 4-cylinder engine. It is roomy and comfortable for long trips, and versatile enough to pack up with all kinds of gear.

2011 Sienna SE shown with available SE Preferred Package

One step up from the base, the LE carries the same engine but its seats can move around to seat 7 or 8 passengers. It also includes convenient features like a backup camera.

The SE has extra strength and provides additional comfort. It comes standard with the more powerful V6 engine, making it a blast to drive. On the outside, it sports 19-inch wheels, and inside, it seats 8, flashing chrome accents and a smooth black finish throughout.

The 7-to-8 passenger XLE model uses the same engine as the SE, but is even more comfortable, with leather seating, a moonroof, and adjustable A/C and heating options for all three rows of seats.

For those who demand the best, the Sienna Limited offers the same dependability as the other models with a touch of class as well. Like the XLE, the Limited comes with leather-trimmed seating materials, but adds wood accents, a dual moonroof, and a number of features that make your Sienna easier to start, park, and keep safe.

Not only that, but passengers in the second-row will be almost as comfortable as the front seat passenger as they sit in reclining seats, read by their very own adjustable lights, and control how hot and cold they are through the second-seat climate control panel.

Style. Comfort. Safety. The 2011 Sienna is the ideal minivan for families - especially those families that also value responsive automobiles with spacious and luxurious interiors. Here are 3 ways that the Sienna works for your family:

It breeds harmony. Safe enough for moms; powerful enough for dads.

And with its new exterior, the Sienna is redefining what it means to be a minivan.

Among them are Vehicle Stability Control, which automatically stops fuel travelling to the engine when the brake pedal is pushed on, as well as Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brake System, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, and Brake Assist.

It’s adaptable. The wider and longer 2011 Sienna can seat 7 or 8 passengers, and includes a stowable center passenger seat. In addition, the Sienna offers a number of options and accessories to customize your driving experience, such as the auto access seat, which is designed for anyone who needs help getting into or out of the Sienna, the tow hitch, and rear-seat entertainment.

It’s efficient. The Sienna has the best combined EPA-estimated mpg ratings of any 7- or 8-passenger van, getting an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway.
