rmc523 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/18/2021-toyota-sienna-hybrid-minivan-photos-specs-details/ There’s a new minivan on the block. It's the 2021 Toyota Sienna, and the van is totally new from the ground up. Toyota hasn’t given us a fresh new Sienna since the current-generation hit the roads for the 2011 model year, so this one is a long time coming. The big news here is the single hybrid powertrain choice Toyota is introducing to the new Sienna. There will be no gas-only option, and there will be no PHEV “Prime” option either. Straight line acceleration may not be quite as exhilarating as the design portends, but we’re left to guess at 0-60 mph times. The new Sienna will be offered in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive variants. Both have a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder under the hood and two electric motors up front, but the all-wheel-drive version adds a third electric motor to power the rear wheels. Total system output is 243 horsepower, and Toyota is expecting the van to return 33 mpg combined. Unfortunately, Toyota decided to pass up on the opportunity to make a PHEV.

akirby Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Not a fan of the exterior, but I like the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yeah that character line looks terrible. I didn’t like it on the highlander and I don’t like it here either. Interior is nice though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKC4ME Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We had a Toyota Sienna for 13 years and 239,000 km after Ford quit building Aerostars. We needed the space for a family of seven and had a lot of good trips with it. Now that all of our children are grown up and on their own we don't need that kind of room any more, though sometimes I think it would be nice to have one again, seeing that we have five grandchildren now and probably more in the future. I have considered a three-row SUV but the third row seating cuts into the cargo space too much and isn't as comfortable as the third row in a minivan.

blwnsmoke Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It almost looks like the front bumper rear ended it and left an impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
