Pros: Availability of class-exclusive all-wheel drive; solid driving dynamics; broad range of trim levels and option packages
Cons: Higher-end models get expensive; less outright cargo volume than most class competitors
CG Says: For 2017, the Toyota Sienna has more power and a new transmission. The 3.5-liter V6 gains direct injection and horsepower increases from 266 to 296. A new eight-speed automatic transmission replaces the previous six-speed. Sienna stands out from the minivan pack by being the only one to offer all-wheel drive. It can’t match Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go fold-flush 2nd-row seats or Honda’s overall refinement, but this Toyota compensates with terrific interior comfort and cargo flexibility. Sienna is well worth your time and consideration.
