I have the 2021 xse after owning it for three days and I noticed on a full tank it can go 590 miles! 590 miles compare to previous 283 miles full tank. And I drove it for three days and the gas meter didn’t even budge. This is money saver for your wallet
"Nothing is less cool than trying to look cool," very well said sir! A 50% increase in fuel efficiency to #36mpg is a massive achievement that could be considered genuinely......... cool.
Especially here in Ca, gas is about $4.35 a gallon! Total rip off for so many years, the state taxes and fed. taxes are rediculous! 20 gallons of 87 octane for $87 bucks!
with that fuel efficiency, theres nothing to lose! I would buy one the second I can. I can only imagine all the crap I can haul where I'm limited with my sedan. Going cross country in this thing will be a piece of cake with all the camping gear you can bring.
Truth! You always see ads for Viagra/Cialis prominently in magazines for Pickup Trucks, Motorcycles, and Guns. Meanwhile Minivan dads are filling up those seats with kids!
Now this is the review I was looking for. Didn’t mimic the press release (bullet train), wasn’t afraid to voice complaints about a Toyota product, spun the tires and showed me what my kids would have done to the cup holders in the third row.
I just got in an XLE AWD trim. There are 2 things that I don’t like so far is that 1st, both side rear view mirrors don’t have dimming function. 2nd, the middle mirror does have auto dimming, but there is no direction indicator on it. Kinda bummed...
Eh, you can load them if you insert the sheets at a 45 degree angle. That way they end up resting on the headrests of the 2nd row seats. Not sure if I would do that personally.
I was surprised to learn that the new Sienna comes with ventilated rear brakes. Why is this? Do other minivans do? are they expecting big break loads? Being a hybrid I would expect most of the brake load to be done by the electric motors.
2:13 That’s a deal breaker for me if I’m going to be frequently carrying cargo on a regular basis. Both the Pacifica and Odyssey offer far more usable storage volume behind the 1 first row since you can either fold them away (Chrysler’s stow and go seat solution) or remove the second row seats entirely (Odyssey or Pacifica Hybrid).
Technically the seats can be removed but not so conveniently. You just need to take out 4 bolts and unclip a wiring harness. Then the seats will come out.
I have a 2007 Sienna and wanted to buy a new one but there's no rear bumper and the middle seats don't come out. I'll keep what I have until that's changed.
Wow that interior is cheap! I kinda lost it at 3:27 when the cup holders just popped out. For over $60 CAD, that is a major letdown, but not entirely unexpected from Toyota considering their other vehicles.
@@rallysauruswrex Nope. My dealership got some of the 2021 models in. The interior is just as cheap feeling as KBB described, and yup that rear panel in the third row is just as flimsy and flexible in the video.
As toyota is slowly making hybrid as standard in every vehicle in its lineup, the death of the prius will be inevitable. I think they should make "prius" as a name for their hybrid trims instead, ex. Camry prius, rav4 prius, corolla prius. At least, prius' legacy as a pioneer for hybrids will still remain.
You forgot to mention the optional 1500w plug-in that runs off the hybrid battery and can operate a blender, microwave or anything else you throw at it.
Are you sure the middle row isn't removable? They are on my 2018. There are pull cords on the back of the seats seen at 2:18 in the video. Pretty sure those will do the trick.
@@keithblakeoff3701 if youre looking for hp in a minivan.... i dunno what to tell ya, sacraficing roughly 30-40 hp for 11 mpg? thats a winner for a daily 60-70mile business trip
If Toyota is struggling to make enough RAV4 Primes to meet demand I can’t see a Sienna Prime anytime soon. Logically they will move on to the Highlander Prime next as Toyota sells almost 3x more Highlanders than the Sienna.
@@ikelee Are you absolutely sure about this? I know it's possible for 2020, but a dealer I went to said it's not possible for 2021. Would really like to know.
@@fall3flake yep. A Toyota employee who works at the plant where they manufacture the Sienna said so. Because the seats have built in air bags no dealer will ever suggest that you can take them out for liability reasons.
About an hour ago I actually saw a 2021 Sienna turn into opposing traffic and I think it looks best from the side. Would I pick it? No. We lost 50 cubic feet of storage. I'll wait for the new Kia Carnival to come to market.
@@frederickcharley3787 Probably after they reveal that new 2022 Tundra next year, since the next 4runner, Tacoma, and Sequoia will all be on the same TNGA truck platform.
yeah, seeing how the sienna actually has more 2nd row room vs the odyssey if you slide the seats back, how the volume with everything down/out is comparable (158 vs 150), and how if you don't take out the seats, the sienna has more space (about 72" to the back of the 2nd row put forward, odyssey much shorter, have to take out seats which may not always be convenient-- think about camping), and the 3rd row space is just a bit smaller, but again can depend on 2nd row position...making it more versatile than the odyssey. I just don't see how it's a clear win for the honda
I was very anti minivan after getting married and having three kids. But I do have to give it to minivans for their practicality and roominess! Only complaint about my wife’s 2015 Sienna is the poor fuel economy averaging 18mpg. I think the new 2021 model just solved my problems! Now only if they can do that to the 4Runner TRD Pro!
I don’t know why a lot reviewers complain about the hybrid brake on the 21” Toyota Sienna, i did test drive the SXE, Limited and Platinum trims i just feel normal on the brake, maybe i never owned the hybrid vehicle before? But this mini van brake seem like stop better than my 17” Lexus LX570 and this mini van drive flatter than my SUV, and i placed an order on the Limited AWD, I can’t wait to start saving gas mileage

@@btbbelesky what’s the newest van they own? Honda quality seems to have slipped in the recent years. Transmission issues that have gone on since 2002, engine oil diluted with gasoline just to name a few. JD Power ranks the Honda brand below average for long term reliability.
@@ikelee they have had a new every 2-3 years for the last 10 years. Just snagged a 2021 I believe. Only oil changes and maybe a small recall here of there but they only ever make it to about 30-40k before they get a new one. Just how they roll. 2021 has been super super nice I will say
The styling looks a little better from the front where it looks a lot more dumped. But they should stop with the SUV styling and just do 100% vankulture, lowered sporty look.
Minivan sales are declining so Toyota and Kia are trying to win over potential SUV buyers. If the automakers don’t do something eventually they will all stop making minivans
I doubt 2.5L is enough for two adults two kids and fully loaded trunk with AC on climbing roads. I dislike the front turning signals. It’s on the center. In the night with head lights on, other car can’t see the turning signal because of head light glaring.
Check out Everyday Review’s 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Torture Test video. He literally took his family on vacation and travelled up mountains on the highway.

cant understand how a big car like this operate with a 2.5 cc motor , it will affect its ability to carry a huge number of people and ists acceleration and every thing even running the air conditioner on full power , they are not discussing these points on any review only focusing on the exterior and interior design

Just got a 2021 Sienna loaner from the dealer. I don’t like the brake. It feels very unnatural. Maybe it is because this is my first time driving a hybrid. The power is just not enough. The engine is so loud when I step hard on the gas paddle. The button on the gear selector is already wobbly. So there is some fit and finishing issues. Fuel economy is unbeatable though. Overall, I think I like my 2019 Sienna better.
I saw the new sienna 2021 platinum AWD. it does not include the refrigerator, vacuum, reclining chair for the middle, nor the second sun roof. I had placed a 1k deposit and waited 3 months for this car to arrive. Ultimately I decided not to purchase the car because of those missing features.

is it reliable!!??? The only thing that matters
The more I watch minivan review vids, the more I want one :P now looking forward to the Muzio family review :P
Was just thinking the same!
Toyota just made mini vans cool for the young guyz like me 😂. Productivity is good 👍 investment
What I gleamed from this video is that Micah is 42!! Looking good!! And riding motorcycles and flying helicopters is massively cool.
It kills me knowing that you can’t put the seats into the floor.

Technically the seats can be removed but not so conveniently. You just need to take out 4 bolts and unclip a wiring harness. Then the seats will come out.
Except Chrysler’s have crappy engines. Broken rocker arms have never been address. Same engine and problems as the Chrysler Town and Country.
Never get a Chrysler if you know what’s good for you. Truly garbage cars.

@3:03 that's the electronic parking brake engaging because you selected drive with the passenger door open.
What happen to that noise when shifting from park to drive and back to park? Also, third row pannel, really, that is bad.. Is this preproduction?

So basically the synopsis is that the Sienna is the Micah Muzio of vehicles?
Those massive grills are spreading throughout Toyota’s models faster than Covid.
They are going for the rotting pufferfish look.
If you think that’s bad check out the 2021 Toyota Avalon lol

What gas is recommended on this hybrid model ? Regular or Premium??

@@joshuaychung Sedona is from Kia and Kia from South Korea. We know S.Korea because they have their own high standard and quality of life there is high
@@syafiqasyraf8132 I apologize if my sarcasm didn't come through. I know what a Sedona is. I just found it funny that a Toyota was being judged against a Kia in its luxuriousness. Having said that, I do love the new Kias, and I think they're fantastic cars so this is no knock on the Kias.
@@joshuaychung Nahh...its ok...me to love Kia...Sedona look luxurious for me and Sienna too
V4????? Hmmm
Very impressive fuel economy. If you have a large family and don't tow trailers, this is all the car you will ever need.
it can still tow 3500 pounds though, so something not too large should be fine
Fun fact. Runners (including TRD) like to mod the XLE model. So I'm not surprise it adopted this style. I like it.
Wow! Might trade in my 2016 Sienna in.
Hard to beat that 36+mpg.
