This review was really well done. On par with the more well known youtube car reviewers. Imo better due to getting straight to the point on every feature. You cover more of the car in less time.
What do you think of the black exterior/brown interior combo? I have not seen one in person, but we were offered one today and put a deposit on it even though it was not our preferred color (beggars can't be choosers)😅
I picked up my white Platimum 3 weeks ago after ordering 1st week in Jan- awd averaging 37.5 mpg- love the car but nav system, DASHCAM, and frankly radio reception leaves a lot to be desired. Free trials of internet service sucks cause can’t drive car w/o remote key, given only one key due to shortage
My dream vehicle for car camping ! :) Would need to rip out all the rear seats in the first week. {btw, their is a resister needed, to trick the vehicle into thinking it still has rear seats ;)} I also learned here, that the Platinum has ventilated seats, and that's awesome ! Because no matter what trim level I purchased, I could always get that seat for it ;) I could SO live in one of these for months at a time ! Pretty sure it would be a little better than my Prius :)
Thank you. That doesn't make any sense at all.😢😮 and people even paying over $100k for some vehicles. Noooh... we are losing our mind. Cars are too expensive, com'on guys😮😢😢
After waiting 10 months finally received our 2023 Platinum. What a step up from our 2015. This video is helping us walk through the owner's manual. A bit overwhelmed but willing to learn. Thank you! Most concerned about receiving only one remote key fob. Any info about that would be appreciated.
Toyota is getting owners to come back to a dealership of their choice to get their second key fob in this program that rolls out in phases. The owners that are picking up their keys now purchased their cars about a year ago. It could take some time but you’ll get the second key eventually
I'm sorry, but almost 60k for a hybrid powered minivan and they don't even offer a spare tire. This is becoming the norm with vehicle manufacturers. It is absurd to pay that kind of money and not even get a spare. I bought my 14 sienna used, LE model 20k miles for 24k and it has a spare tire with it. Vehicles are getting more and more expensive; offering features that are not really necessary, adding premium pricing. I understand that all the blind spot monitoring, active cruise control, etc, etc, it nice, but is it really worth a premium price and no spare? It honestly seems like we're getting less and less actual function and more QoL for a ton of money, and that doesn't really makes sense to me. The other design problem with the newer model Sienna's is that the rear "bumper" is so small, that if you had someone fender bender the rear end in this thing, it's likely that you'd also have to repair/replace the hatch. Not sure what Toyota was thinking on this one. Seems like function should be the primary concern over fashion and styling, but that's just my opinion.
@18:17 uhhh you can’t watch a movie because there is no dvd or Blu-ray player. It’s a deal breaker. Maybe you can ask your kids to setup a streaming box, tether to your phone, and manage the multiple remotes and inputs and cables in your 50k vehicle? Remember when the driver could pop in a disc and call it a day? Plus no wireless car play?
so far so good, i've put roughly 10k miles on it since getting it. still no reverse but I'm not really in a rush to get it fixed becasue I have three other vehicles and only really use the 5 series for driving long distances that don't require reverse.
So sad only interior on the highest trim is noble brown leather, worst color option in my opinion. Still going to buy one though, Cypress green to go best with the interior.
The 2023 Chrysler Pacificas definitely have available dual pane panoramic sunroofs - I had one built but decided not to buy. If only they were more reliable 😫
….(A) I ordered my 2023 Sienna Pkatinum January 11, 2023, how did you get this one??? (B) My Toyota dealer said it could take one to two years to manufacture. (C) Why 2 Back-up Cameras??? (Never have seen any other video on this subject). (D), Im so sad there is only one interior color, considering this is the most expensive Sienna. Poop-brown color is correct, come on Toyota (E) You CANNOT get a spare tire if you get the ottoman 2nd Row seats option. Don’t know why, but that’s what it says on the Toyota Build software. Sienna’s used to put the spare tire under the vehicle, but your’re right on lower trims it goes in the back storage area. Doesn’t make sense to me why you can’t get a spare for a Platinum trim level (F) Excellent pace, very clear articulation, but I have watched about 40 sienna videos. (G) 18 cup holders, center console cal hold a gallon of milk I believe (H) The entertainment system BLOCKs the regular rearview mirror view, but not the Digital camera rearview mirror view. No DVD player with the entertainment system (I ) 1x(3/20/23)…done ok
@@angkorian2o91 …Wow. Amazing. Thank you for getting back with me. I am getting a lot of options, like a Toyota OEM dash cam and digital rear view mirror, but seems like yours has a lot of same features. Mine was ordered from a small Toyota dealership in Homosassa Florida. Had to get a $2,000 Dimmit package I didn’t want, but otherwise was at MSRP. I also opted not to get the center drop down infotainment screen because I would never use it and it blocks the regular rear view mirror view if in the down position. Tell ‘em’ Steve Fiore sent you if others reading this comment decide to order there. The dealership is 70 miles away from my home, but my in-town Toyota dealership wouldn’t order one for me and wanted to charge $10,000 above MSRP anyway. 😊
For me is not a good thing to come with this trim package thing. Isn't that discrimination??? Why they don't only create this platinum as the Sienna standard so when someone decide to buy a Sienna you can expect to have those specific features. They way they do it causing some people with limited financial power not able to own a higher end package. For me it is not fair. This is Discrimination...😢😮
I thought for a minute we might see the whole cargo area displayed with 2nd Row flattened or removed (!!) to show off the van's full cargo area. But no... no need to make this useful video.
It’s still plenty of room for most people. My family had a sienna for 18 years and was not a problem, and we did a good amount of trips, hauling large items etc.
2nd roll doesn't turn 180 & 90 like pride and joy of South Korea 🇰🇷 KIA EV9 7 passengers with 360 miles range? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Didn't new to🪀🪀ceo announced they won't get involved in electric car business?
EXCELLENT ACCURATE FACTUAL REVIEW NO FLUFF OR BS. VERY PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION THX KROWICKI‼️

thank you so much i’m very glad you enjoyed it. maybe one day i’ll be one of the more well known ones but i’ll always get straight to the point
I get a lot of information from this video. You do a great job. Thank you
Thank you for the detailed video. Just picked up a black 2023 platinum sienna and your video helped a lot.

@@natalydelcielo
Honestly, i think the black is the best combo with the platinum interior. The interior is absolutely amazing.
Did yours come with a tow hitch?
@@smrtguy77777 No, it did not.

Minivan or cars are just costing too much these days. I feel so lucky that I was able to buy my 2019 Sienna XLE premium AWD for $37000 back in 2019……
Thank you. That doesn't make any sense at all.😢😮 and people even paying over $100k for some vehicles. Noooh... we are losing our mind. Cars are too expensive, com'on guys😮😢😢
Aboutt to go pay like 60 and hard to find one. .wtf
They wanted 7500 over msrp of 57,500. Atsallot.
My 2023 Sienna XSE FWD
The new Cement color looks amazing!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Super review. Detailed. Thank you sir.
I really like this generation. Curious when they might update it with tss 3.0 and the new head unit software.
awesome VID! what the top trim for 8 passengers ?
At 9:40: what is the option / blank space directly to the right of the 360 degree view button?
Do the middle seats have to be pushed all the way back to the third row in order to recline?
Can the head up display feature be turned on and off?
Nice video. Subscribed.

Wow! We will be hanging onto that key and carrying spare batteries. Incredulous considering the cost and delivery wait.
does the reverse line move ?
The 2nd row would be very nice on a long road trip. You could recline like a lazy boy and just sweep back there and run the a c

I am thinking the same thing. It is all plastic. And NO spare?
You can get a spare. We purchased one with a spare.
Does it also have a DVD player?
No DVD player :(

Is your camera lens dirty? Looks foggy as hell
yep i realized this once i put the footage on my computer :(
no spare tire?
How’s your manual 5 series driving?
so far so good, i've put roughly 10k miles on it since getting it. still no reverse but I'm not really in a rush to get it fixed becasue I have three other vehicles and only really use the 5 series for driving long distances that don't require reverse.
Such a shame that the 2024 still didn't get the infotainment/3.0 updates!
can you make video of a teslaroadster
i wish. if i ever get the chance to, i will
I think very detail tool and complexity cars, but I'm interested to get at home, once Luxury in INA
So sad only interior on the highest trim is noble brown leather, worst color option in my opinion. Still going to buy one though, Cypress green to go best with the interior.
What do you think of the black exterior/brown combo?
Tye noble interior is amazing in person.
Yeah, wtf. Would love a white exterior and black interior.
It’s not chrome it’s brushed aluminum 14:51
It’s kind of disappointing spending over $60,000 for the top trim and they don’t even give a panoramic sunroof 16:23
I don't think any minivan has a panoramic sun roof.
The 2023 Chrysler Pacificas definitely have available dual pane panoramic sunroofs - I had one built but decided not to buy.
If only they were more reliable 😫
You can't have a TV and a panoramic sunroof

I wish I watched this video before I made my purchase. The backup camera resolution is terrible and almost useless whenever it rains.
Platinum front bumper look ugly not good…Maybe front bumper look like trim XSE it’ll beautiful 😊

Spare tire vs Ottoman is a weight issue that affects mpg rating yes it's stupid and true
Kick where?
You gotta clean the lens next time... It looks Opaque/Foggy because of hand oil/mushy ans dirty 🤷...
A quick wipe with a clean microfiber is good 👍 but careful not to scratch
yeah i know i messed up with this one and now ever since that video i always wipe it down before shooting

Great review but this van is very underwhelming
This van will go 160 mph??? But why???
peasant blocker xD
yet you're in a toyota
I thought for a minute we might see the whole cargo area displayed with 2nd Row flattened or removed (!!) to show off the van's full cargo area. But no... no need to make this useful video.
2nd row doesn’t fold down…. Fail
That's a bummer.
And neither does the fiat phev van, oh I mean the Chrysler crap
I don’t think this impact their sales at all, the van sell like hot cake.
I'm sure a lot of people who buy these Vans don't fold their 2nd row seats down...
It’s still plenty of room for most people. My family had a sienna for 18 years and was not a problem, and we did a good amount of trips, hauling large items etc.
Nah, looks and feels cheap as expected from Toyota
no hybrid
