2016 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited AWD - The most complete review EVER!
You need a car for your family? Can't decide between an SUV, Minivan or CrossOver? That's the big question! The logical answer is the minivan! Even if sales are slowing down, it remains one of the best choice for a family on the go! One of the best out there is the Toyota Sienna! The Toyota Sienna even got AWD!

52:25 AWD test. You're welcome :)
Thanks
R M i
R M thx
Thanx for mine 52 min )
R M thank you!!!
The hell im impressed by their awd lol
Better than their highlanders.
All you can say is this: 30 years from now this car will still be on the road running like new for some crazy reason while pushing 400k and smiling as it resales for 15grand even after surviving ww3... although it may have the the roof modified for anti aircraft guns... Toyota wins kids.
i have a 14 almost 15 year old toyota sienna limited XLE, it still runs well, gets us where we need to be with minor issues. AC and lights still work good, but this week the transmission cable snapped or something so we had to get that fixed, pretty easy and its only a minor problem.
I can't believe you did the diagonal test. You must be the only person in the whole wide world who have done the AWD test on the Toyota Sienna. Congratulations. I am sure you have made many many attempts before you came up with this two successful clips. Good show.
:-D
glad you like! We even did a Mini Cooper JCW! Any bets on that?
MetaView7 Almost sounds as if you’re saying the AWD system was horrible. It did so well for a minivan. Not to mention it is the only minivan in the world to offer AWD.
By the way we dont cheat the test
Dude your reviews are awesome I’ve never seen anyone make such a detailed review video 🙌👍👍👍
You provided PERFECT instructions. I did this today. A tad hard to get out, but we followed what you said and it worked. Thank you! I just bought an 04 to haul my huge English Mastiff - so this was so timely.
So the Sienna has a better AWD system than the Highlander and RAV4. Go figure
Probably note, but because the Van is just so much bigger, it may have an advantage. I bet all systems are the same, it's just characteristics of the vehicle size that are the difference. I have the 2011 AWD, and it behaves the same way. Whatever happens, keep the friggin thing moving because it won't start from a stop, if one wheel spins. Seriously, if you are stopped on a hill and one wheel starts to spin, you are DEAD. Other AWD systems, like Subaru, won't get stuck.
Same thing that I was thinking
Brilliant review, helpful and comprehensive indeed. Thanks.
This was really the most detailed, most informative review of this minivan. Thank you.
Great review. Thank you for posting. Didn't even notice any microphone issue.
thanks!! appreciate it!
Our family have had quite a few minivans since the 90s Mercury, Ford, Mazda and finally the 2005 Sienna and it’s by far the best in terms of room, power, refinement, ride, handling, quality, reliability, longevity, dealer service, parts availability, insurance and more. It’s so good that we refuse to trade it in despite our Sienna is almost 16 years old with 298k flawless miles (483k kilometers). The van never been towed and nothing has been rebuilt even the AC and shock absorbers/struts.
Great revue!! Tres bien!!!
The perfect minivan. Thanks, great video.
If only the floor was FLAT with the seats removed. Ever tried lying down on the floor.Too bad they don't slide under. And those big wipers catch the wind and have difficulty moving any load of snow. Also, where is the hidden hitch system? It's rated at 3500 lbs, but that requires a toe bar installed, that may not be compatible with AWD because it hangs too low.
Thanks Car Question - wow what a detailed report. Next - It's now almost 2021 and I'm wondering, can you do a side by side comparison between the new Pacifica AWD and the Sienna AWD?
We have a 2014 Sienna LE which is a very nice vehicle. Two things we dislike are pairing the cell phone and constant rocks damaging the windshield. The angle of the windshield is such that rocks will eventually require full windshield replacement. It took about 1-2 years before the windshield was replaced.
I thought jeep were the worst in the stone windshield department! :) Thanks for sharing!
Excellent review!Although my wife and I only have 1 child currently, we do a lot of big bulk shopping and a lot family car pooling. AWD is a must for us. So I would spend a little extra for a spare and jack.
+blackmarvel666 thanks for the comments! It's not a big issue, but it's a plus if you have that on a road trip in a no cell phone zone :P
+blackmarvel666 thank you so much once again! :) have a nice day!
Thanks for an awesome review! I just bought one too. Limited FWD. The best car for the family. Love the handling!
Thanks and cool car you purchase! keep us informed about how you like it over time! :)
Just bought the same.
great review! I like the diagonal slope test. It looks like this van did great for a mini van. keep up the great work and I am subscribing now!! I'm going to look and see if you have a Subaru Outback full review
WRX is comming soon and forester also! No outback for now but soon! :)
and thanks for the comment!
Minivan over SUV any day. Thanks for the detailed video. Love the Sienna.
Glad you like
Thanks
Very nice van
The sienna awd is the best van in canada because of its awd. even little push from the rear wheels helps a lot. something is better than nothing.
Allot of stuff hopens on this car. Seriously though awesome video to get in actual look at everything properly not just some one driving it saying its fun to drive lol
glad you like! :)
The front cup holders do expand just so you know!
I’m considering a 2016 now in 2020. It has 20k on it. Haven’t seen or driven yet. How have these held up?
Brutal interior and exterior ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👌🏽
+Nelly Ann brutal in what way? :)
+CarQuestion he means it in a good way
Robian 64 cool :P
Great review, thank you. Deciding between 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE vs Honda Odyssey EX-L. Advice or opinion?
Same id go with Toyota. If you live in a Snowy Area The Sienna Has an optional AWD.
Hey, Thank you for this informative video, wish you good luck, and I wish one day to own a Sienna 2013 Limited AWD (With Towing package and Premium) - The question's answer is MINIVAN ............. with a nice engine like a sienna 3.5l or a Sienna 2004 3.3l (last yr 3.3)..all tuned with a Supercharger and MSD electrics, What do you think ??
Would be interesting to see a double foot driving in these cars that don't self brake spinning tires effectively. just enough to stop the tire but not prevent forward movement.
You can try turning off traction control, but the biggest limiting factor is a lack of limited slip or transferring power to a wheel with traction. As I said above, if one wheel starts to spin, the whole thing will come to a stop unless you have enough momentum to keep it going past the slipping area. Once you're stopped on a hill, if a wheel starts to spin, you're DEAD!
Great, comprehensive review. thanks! Hope you can do review of the all new 2017 Honda Odyssey too with this level of detail when that vehicle comes out.
you are welcome! will do for the odyssey but later this summer
Nice detailed and tested review. Keep up the good works! However, could you maybe separate one video into like two parts? Easier for you and less demanding for the viewers. Also, you get double views = $$?
Hi Alan!
Thanks for your comments! We will try a new video format for 2017! Right now we are trying to find whats gonna be the best for you guys. The plan could be a short video refering to longuer section. Ex:
Quick Intro / apreciation / conclusion pointing with link to more detail on EXT / INT / Multimedias system / Driving / Competition / Price.
One thing is sure we still want to do the most complete review out there!
thanks!
Thank you for this great review. It would be great to see one for the 2020 Sienna (comparing the new 8 speed auto transmission to the 6 speed in 2016)
I am in Tanzania, how do i get the one with 8 passengers, Right steering side, and 180 KPH not 110!!! (Logistics first please)
Please do the ramp thing with the new ford expedition
ford could not go up
Congrats!. Correct, correctamenter!!..
I was surprise Sienna was able to do it when he tried Highlander 2018 before and it won't able to do it
Enjoyed the review, nice mini van! How much does this cost equipped the way yours is?
+Village Idiot cad or US or other? in cad a van like this one limited AWD fully equipped is near 60,000$
Holy crap... Thanks!
+Village Idiot 39 815 $ for the base AWD version, our recommandation if you want it! :)
Nice for a miniVON
Whats the music is playing on background?
33:20 favorite part
What about cabin noize?
What’s the difference between AWD And 4wd ?
Wow I'm impressed with the awd..... I wonder if your able to To lift it like 2 inches and add some nice BFG all terrain tires and it would be almost unstoppable....more brands should offer awd .....I have 03 Honda Odyssey with 3.5 vtecv6 and it's a blast to step on it cuz it just pulls like if it were a regular Honda Accord with v6 (technically it is an accord) and when I go to big bear to see the snow I never have any traction issues but having awd would make it feel more secure and would be way funner driving thru the snow knowing you have the pulling power of awd
that could be a great vidéo! :)
I will propose that idea to Toyota if the want to let us do it for 2017 :P
Check out the company Journeys Off Road. They make a 3.5 inch lift for both this generation of Sienna and the one before.
That is really cool.
The run flat tires sucks, we put non rft and got a spare tire, the dealership doesn't "approve that" but also rft are unsafe our 2 rear tires broke on us in a very long trip so that's not good either.
hard to find 2017 limited awd in GTA now, all inventories are shipped to China
CarQuestion, do you think we'll see a redesign for 2017? i'll be ready to buy a Sienna in 2017.
not for 2017, it will be the same!
More power is always welcome
And that 8 speed more fuel efficient
The body is redisgned, 8 speed transmission and more torque in the engine.
D W. haven't seen any body redesign...
the outer shell is sleeker same k8 frame.
Does this car have run flats or a spare tire?
I recently bought a 2012 sienna AWD. I had to replace a 4 tires within a year! Run flats are expensive and they suck. They are also hard to find so expect wasting an entire day or weekend if you get a flat$$$$$$$$
My 2015 rft's are making noise at 21K, going to check with firestone before I look into bearings, think bearing are ok. What do you think about going to regular tires with no spare Continental True contact? with RFt you can drive to tire shop unless shreded 1 patch& Plug only. Better in snow and 168 on tire rack. I also just got a hunter roadforce balence, wow what a difference I was fighting my tires. he said someone brought in a brand new sienna Junked the RFT's and got regular tires. Someone made a spare tire kit take up well space in back but is alternative.
Yes reviews said it eats tires, Did you go for a hunter roadforce balence, and alignment? watch you tube. amazing difference. So is it worth it to get RFT's or wait for tow truck on regular, in NYC how is snow with true contact?
What song did you use?
Mom: dammit we are going to soccer practice NO MATTER WHAT. fuck the parking lot I have AWD!
More soccer moms are driving large SUVs nowadays. I guess it means the escalade is a soccer mom car
Can you purchase the middle seat in the second row as an accessory?
not with AWD, 8 place is only available in FWD configuration.
+CarQuestion yhhhhj
It did better then the rave 4
Great video, very thorough.
one technical correction though; you keep mentioning towing, but the AWD version only gets a towing capacity of 1000-ish pounds. for the full 3500-ish pound capacity, you must stick to the FWD version.
A superb observation! I based my review on the Toyota Spec found on their website for the capacity.
www.toyota.ca/toyota/fr/vehicles/sienna/specifications/capacity
For an XLE awd, yes it's 1000lbs
For LE AWD 7 places, 3500lbs
is it an error, not sure... I can confirm with Toyota to get a sure validation about that.
This is a key part of my decision over whether to look at the AWD or FWD van. I've only been looking at the limited packages and that's a key difference - along with the missing blindspot monitoring.
39:11 , beau pélerinage à Beaupré ! Il se produit tjrs des miracles quand on passe devant , comme se faire battre sur le départ par un vieux Dodge Caravan . Ok , on te pardonnes le son poche . Comment plus d'essence l'awd prend ?
Does this car have a seat belt reminder?
Priya Satani .. Yeah, the wife.
How come it s not leather seat
Nice review, are you French?
Thanks ! Oui je parles français ;)
CarQuestion bien, merci et geek up!
+CarQuestion I am completely lost at this point. Lol
hey i understan the sienna has awd, but just think would the sienna respond to mud and mixed together. my family and i have a 2014 Honda Odyssey that has permomed excellent in ice with the d4 and off options, plus the 3rd road seat is way more spacious and comfortable which the sienna is not at all. I don't think everything is about luxury like some wood on the dash, instead is practicality
I love to this car I use in sadi arbia now I am in pakistan.. Still in can't forget to this car every day every time I remember to this.... I will sale my house and I will buy this in pakistan.... If any person who send me car in pak.. Plpz. Plz. Plz. Contact me.... How I will say I want get this car
I thought the Toyota Limited AWD has the power seats just like the limited Toyota.
Awd doesn't. Space issue
He have a French accent when he said toyota sienna at 0:42
I like this car,but in cambodia is taxy,no family car.
AWD cambodia Taxi!!!
It is too low, it should be lifted a little bit from production, it's actual level of body above road limits it's possibilities of driving , and you see it
you would do even better simply dropping the annoying music which drowns you out
AWD Climb photo in thumbnail 52:22 You're welcome
Like if you have a sienna
No more lounge seats??
No more rear LED? Its a downgrade lol
AWD is great when the vehicle is moving, but because it doesn't have limited slip, as soon as one wheel loses traction, especially from a startup, the whole thing comes to a stop. Why didn't Toyota include limited slip or a switch to lock wheels? The "toque vectoring" is just hype. Note, AWD doesn't nothing on the highway or to help you stop.
auto-corrected torque to toque!
It does help when cornering while accelerating.
that awd test is a complete failure to me
52:17
Rayyaan
1000
OMG, could the AWD system be more ridiculous or it is just fake? 52:51 tells everything.
At least it moved. A regular FWD would have been ended up stuck there. AWD is different from a 4x4 and the power distribution is not uniform on all 4 wheels. Sienna uses Transverse AWD. Most AWD cars and crossovers are built on a FWD platform
this is above my expectations actually. My understanding is that it is 3 open differentials, with a 100% front bias that can shift only 50% to the rear.
I am hoping to love the Subaru Ascent when it comes out this summer--suspect its AWD will perform better? Though I know I'd be sacrificing third row space and am so frustrated that I cant have it all wah wah.
if i was in that position with my 4x4 plow truck the unweighted diagonal wheels would also spin. is that what you're talking about? limited slip diff would solve that issue but not an absolute necessity, still much better than 2wd.
Bad AWD system.. :P
obviously you don't know the difference between AWD and 4x4. lol
SoundsRight I know the difference
Arya Pradhana D glad i can help

Worthless awd. Open diffs completely useless. My dodge caravan awd is literally 10 times better
Junkerbunker if only your caravan had AWD haha nice try
@@PatelPresh they made caravans in AWD?
The front and rear diffs lock via electromagnetic coupler. Better even than lsd
@@PatelPresh he didn’t say what year his Caravan is. They made AWD versions of the Caravan from 1991 to 2004.
