- While many millennials, like myself, grew up riding in minivans, we now tend to cover them with a stigma from our youth as un-cool boxes on wheels. However, after living with the latest and greatest from @toyotausa for a week with their Platinum grade 2022 Sienna minivan, we can say they serve a very useful purpose and put their SUV counterparts to shame on both roominess and fuel economy.
In this video, I dive into the technical aspects that make this 2022 Sienna a great people hauler for all ages.

I wish Toyota offer an option of 3D bird eyes view on every trim level and not just Platium because this is part of safety feature.
Anyway, thank you so much for your time, and I agreed, that's a Lexus minivan.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they incorporate a larger screen and the new infotainment system soon. They just updated the Highlander to include it.
And more surveillance cameras around the van like Tesla. Camera is cheap nowadays.

What's the deal with the off rd version that you mentioned and is rubber mats an option for the entire floor of the sienna?
Love the Lexus LM … but I would prefer an actual Lexus LM based on the sienna with 8 seats … use a specialized premium center console for both second row and third row. I had a Chrysler town and country limited 2000 - it had the most wonderfully designed third row with sculpted third row with arm rest
Nice.
Hi handsome. Great looks. Beautiful van.
Thanks for watching.
Your in Nacogdoches Tx SFA university there’s a twin city in Louisiana called Natchitoches La they city’s was named after 2 Indian brothers look up the history and read about it my family lives in Tx but we travel to Natchitoches every year for Christmas just beautiful there.
You’re the first to guess it!
I grew up in Livingston Tx my best friends parents divorced when we turned 13 he and his mom moved to Nac so we spent our teenage years there around SFA he ended up marrying my sister in July of 88 and there still going best friends for life

Can all the seats come out?? Can we order rubber Mats for the entire floor?
I just got mine delivered the same trim level but without the ottoman and without the digital backup mirror. So sad.
STILL a VERY enjoyable vehicle.
What's the clearance off the ground? I know most outback are 8.5, I need the awd for New England weather. I'm hoping to get a nice trade in on my 2019 limited platinum highlander.
Ground Clearance 6.3 in. (LE, XLE, XSE, 25th Anniversary Edition, Limited, Platinum)
6.9 in. (Woodland)
Good.❤
Indeed
I drove one for a couple of days a few months ago. Lots to like. It does feel like Luxury. It's just too expensive for me. I don't like or need AWD, and hate the seat color on the Platinum. It only comes in brown, but is extremely comfy. I would buy it anyway but 55K is overboard for me.
The lesser trims have color options, and the AWD isn't standard... play around on the website and find your sweet-spot for options and colors.
Personally, I would probably lean toward the XSE...
@@GTGarageTalk great vid and walk through! Curious if you could elaborate on the "lean towards XSE" comment... i'm currently wrestling with this decision and would benefit from your take. I'm torn between the XSE and the Premium, because in my area there is only a $2k difference btw the Limited and the Premium... but a $10k difference btw the XSE and the Premium. So, is $10k worth the jump? From what i can tell, the luxury in the 2nd row, the ventilated 1st row & heated steering wheel, and bird's eye view + larger displays are really the only difference. Is this worth it for a family man with kids under 10? I feel like some of the luxury would go unused with car seats. Would appreciate any feedback. thank you
@@ez4u2nv31 you hit the nail on the head, a lot of the added luxury would go unused. As much as we REALLY loved the Premium trim, there was just more stuff than we would need if we were spending our money. the XSE has the looks we would like with the sportier grille and such and lower price without sacrificing the things we REALLY loved like the ride, space, and fuel economy.
@@GTGarageTalk thank you for responding!
@@im2ez4u2nv Happy to help!
A platinum trim without power folding seats? Get the e-trailer hidden hitch. There’s a $700 kit if you need more ground clearance. I wish Toyota and Kia worked together to make each other better. Toyota platform and Kia infotainment.
That would be epic!!!
There are 1.2 million aftermarket backup cameras… you can find one you like! 🙂
Indeed. It’s just surprising that in 2022 a factory system is this grainy. Not a deal breaker. Just surprising.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, sir! Great video by the way! 😎
@@jpmackin Thank you
I still don't like the climate controls bring back the knobs! Also if you stop on your driveway does your car roll back when you relase the brake? Same situation at a traffic light? the car has no driveshaft.
We didn’t experience any roll back. However, I’m used to driving a manual transmission so nothing really phases me like that.
Keep a vehicle for a year or two to get a fair assumption if it’s any good.👍
We will be purchasing some vehicles in the future for longer-term testing.
I stopped watching at 7:45 after I couldn't see what you were demonstrating with the rear seat because you're in the dark and the camera was too far away.
TH-cam-ing ain’t easy 🤷🏼♂️
1x(10/12/22)….1….6:00…12:00…..done thank you excellent
Thank you for watching.
Pheasant blockers? You rich!!!

Dont want a hybrid. Ill just keep my old one.
Cheaper that way.
The problem with mini vans after 5 or 10 yrs they start having a problem with power sliding doors.
True. Same could be said of power lift gates on vans and SUVs.... our 9 year old Cherokee has intermittent problems with the rear hatch. More components means more problems.
Why dont they make a fully electric mini van?
VW has one in the works.
@@GTGarageTalk, ok thanks because that’s what I’m looking for otherwise it’s the Rivian RST

Not sure
Not sure about what?
그리스도는 그대의 죄와 저주를 해결하신 참된 제사장입니다. 그리스도는 하나님 만나는 유일한 길입니다. 그리스도는 사탄의 권세를 깨뜨린 참된 왕입니다.그대가 예수를 믿으면 죄와 사망의 법에서 영원히 해방되며 하나님의 자녀가 됩니다. 예수를 믿으세요.

@@GTGarageTalk Amen! Hallelujah
Are you delusional??
@@g.r.2985 no. you?
I would have got the Platinum, but I cannot stand that poop brown interior. It needs to be black or gray.
Opinions. Opinions. Lol. I’m glad for something other than grey or black.
Wow what a garbage car, I was expecting more from Toyota. The exterior looks okay, but the interior it's way too outdated. That nav unit looks like it's 10 year old, backup camera like all Toyotas garbage, can't see nothing on low light. Not much room in the back.
Not garbage at all. I would expect the infotainment to be updated for 2023.
@@GTGarageTalk I guess it could pass for a 2015 LOL! you got b*t hurt?
@@GTGarageTalk damn bro there’s definitely a lot of haters out there. Keep up the good work!
@@Hernsama Thank you!!!
garbage car? i think you can't afford the car anyway. good luck with your old car (~:
