2015 Toyota Sienna Price Features & Specs

The Sienna is a minivan produced by Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. It was first introduced in 1997, as a replacement for the first generation Previa. The 2015 model of this vehicle is a bit of a revamp, and continues the Sienna’s tradition for being one of the most popular minivans around. The Toyota Sienna is notable for being one of a very small list minivans to provide all wheel drive options.

The Interior

Toyota has carefully revised the interior design in this 2015 revamp of the Sienna. The color scheme is an aspect that was changed fairly subtly but it helps shape the overall ambience of the interior of the vehicle, giving it a more sophisticated appeal, a maturity that just wasn’t present in earlier models.

The audio system has also been upgraded, six speakers that will go a long way towards giving the driver an edge decibel wise if the car is filled with noisy kids or anyone similarly noisy.

One of the most immediately apparent advantages to this vehicle’s interior design is the significant amount of space you are provided. There are 8 available seats in the vehicle, and the middle row can be removed in order to provide more space to passengers or if you need to transport anything that won’t fit in the back.

Additionally, all models of the 2015 Toyota Sienna come with a built in 7 inch touch screen interface. This touch screen can be used to access the very useful rear camera, which will definitely make parking in reverse a lot easier, but the usefulness of this device does not end here.

The 2015 Toyota Sienna also comes with smartphone accessibility, and bluetooth connectivity as well, making it a bit of an entertainment hub for your vehicle along with its practical uses.

Premium models of the 2015 Toyota Sienna come equipped with a huge 16 inch LCD screen as well as a DVD player, all of which go towards making this vehicle a veritable entertainment center as well as an excellent mode of transportation.

The Exterior

The 2015 Toyota Sienna comes with 17 and 18 inch wheels, and the first impression you get of this vehicle is that it is large, large enough to afford each one its potential passengers a lot of room to sit in comfort, something that a lot of comparable vehicles fail to do.

The vehicle comes equipped with manually sliding rear doors, and power sliding side doors, and the heat mirrors that come standard with the vehicle are certainly a very useful addition that make the 2015 Toyota Sienna a lot more user friendly and comfortable.

However, apart from a slightly updated grille as well as head and tail lights, the 2015 model of the Toyota Sienna does not look all that different from the previous years models on the outside.

Most of the changes have been made to the vehicle’s interior, which was the aspect of the previous year’s model that was heavily criticised. However, the exterior of this years model goes a long way towards providing a formidable first impression of the vehicle and its attributes.

The Safety

The safety features of the 2015 Toyota Sienna are nothing short of astounding. The car possesses anti lock disc brakes, as well as traction and stability control, and the car comes equipped with no less than 8 airbags.

Thats an airbag for every single passenger in the vehicle. It’s pretty clear that this vehicle takes the safety of its passengers pretty seriously. The vehicle comes standard equipped with front seat airbags, as well as knee airbags on the drivers side, and full length side curtain airbags to provide the kind of safety that is unparalleled in this class of vehicles.

The 2015 Toyota Sienna also comes equipped with blind spot monitoring, eliminating a once widely accepted danger of driving with one fell swoop, and greatly increasing the safety of its passengers.

The Toyota Sienna’s safety features are given a boost in their credibility by it receiving five out of a possible five stars in government crash tests, as well as the highest possible score of “good” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

All of these things go to show that the 2015 model of the Toyota Sienna is one of the safest vehicles around, something you should seriously consider when you’re out there looking for a vehicle to buy.

The Performance

Performance is what the Toyota Sienna does best. After all, it was created to be, essentially, a large box on wheels, it was meant to provide a spacious vehicular transport for a large family, something you buy for its performance, not its looks. The 2015 model of this vehicle continues this proud tradition.

Toyota has, quite wisely, phased out the four cylinder engine that was used in older models. Instead, the Toyota Sienna now comes equipped with a powerful V6 engine, though in some instances this has resulted in a drop in fuel economy.

However, it has been found that the fuel economy problem only occurs in instances when the vehicle is accelerated a bit too aggressively, so this is a problem that can be avoided, though the fact remains that the problem exists.

This vehicle comes equipped with a six speed drive, and you will find that the acceleration is swift and smooth, and the 2015 model of the Toyota Sienna is significantly more agile while turning than its predecessors, thanks to the fact that the suspension has been recalibrated.

All in all, the Toyota Sienna is as solid as it ever was, with Toyota displaying a regard for customer opinions by updating the interior of the vehicle to make it more stylish.

Now, if you buy the 2015 Toyota Sienna, you won’t just get an excellent, efficient, reliable vehicle with enough space for you, your partner, your kids, and with more room to spare, you’ll get a vehicle that has an inbuilt entertainment system, as well as a stylish interior that makes it one of the best vehicles you can buy in its price range.
