2014 Toyota Sienna Review
2014 Toyota Sienna Review
Posted on December 20, 2013
Toyota is redefining the Minivan. Toyota Canada has worked hard to dispel the myths and images typically associated with the minivan, bringing elements of comfort, style and performance to the 2014 Sienna. New features include LE AWD 7-passenger V6 heated front seats and the discontinuation of the four-cylinder model. Although Toyota could have rested on its laurels being the only minivan with all-wheel drive, dominating the niche it's carved out for itself, the Sienna has stepped up to the plate with stylish lines, roomy interior and a huge package of technology.
Taking a Look Behind the Scenes
The 2014 Toyota Sienna looks more like an athlete than a vehicle that carries them, with its sleek, sculpted lines and powerful body. The multi-panel moonroof gives you a wide look to the expansive outdoors, with a front power tilt/slide roof and rear power slide roof (XLE Limited package). The XLE Limited package just keep getting better for drivers, with tilting side view mirrors, smart key system and rain-sensing front wipers.
Once drivers clamber inside, they'll see an interior that's as spacious and comfortable as their own living rooms. Keep the temperature exactly how you like it, with the Sienna's 3-zone System giving you heating and cooling with the flick of a switch. And though three rows of seats means a lot of bodies, the Sienna's anticipated that with enormous cargo carrying capacity for everyone's gear.

Safety Features
Toyota's made their Star Safety System standard on the 2014 Toyota Sienna, which is comprised of six advanced accident avoidance technologies: vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brake system, brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution and smart stop technology. They're also looking out for you in the event of a collision, with seven standard airbags, including dual-stage front and seat-mounted side airbags, as well as a driver side knee airbag.
For more everyday situations, the Sienna has ultrasonic sensors on all its XLE models, which gives the driver an audio and visual warning of detected obstacles. The XLE models also come equipped with a Blind Spot Monitor System, using radars to check on blind spots for you. But for all models, the 2014 Toyota Sienna comes standard with Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) that allows drivers the best running, cornering and stopping performance they've ever experienced, especially when it comes to emergency maneuvers.

The Competition
As mentioned at the beginning, the 2014 Toyota Sienna is the only minivan to offer all-wheel drive, but being alone in that marketplace hasn't kept it safe from competitors.
