2021 Toyota Sienna XSE AWD - One Year Owner Overview

[@hfarms5779]

Thanks for the long-term review. The hybrid assisting the four cylinder makes the difference. This will be our next van.

[@jcavidz]

You bet!

1x(11/14/22)…..excellent..done thank you. No spare tire looks like?? The Tri-fold OEM- mat was not covered in any other Sienna video I saw

[@LifebyDesign]

I have it, it works great

[@jcavidz]

That's correct, no spare. I'd rather have a full size spare anyway. When I get a hitch that allows for a full sized spare, I'll post a video.

Great video! I’m really looking to buy a sienna. I love the space and the mpgs. Question, where did you get the mats? I like that protects the seats.

[@jcavidz]

Thank you! I got the floormats from amazon. 3W brand.

Hello, just finished watching ur video….We just placed an order last week with the XLE Sienna, same color as yours. They said it will take about 9months to a year to arrive. How did the XSE, they said the suspension is firm, that’s why we’re getting the XLE, but I do like the look of the XSE better. It looks sportier, anyway I was wonder where did u get the plastic matts to protect the dirts from getting dirty. Did u get them from Toyota or some website?

[@jcavidz]

Hi Michael, Congrats on the XLE! I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. The mats are 3W and you can purchase them on amazon. I put the link in the description.

[@MichaelVuong-qo5bn]

@@jcavidz can u pls send me the link again n what the brand name of the mats u get. Thx

[@jcavidz]

Thanks!

Nice review. I have a Pacifica with the food down seats. We want AWD and to use the can for camping. I'm 5'9" as well. Do you think you could stretch out in the back with the middle seats all the way forward. Also which trim did you get. Never mind I saw it. Thanks

[@jcavidz]

I'm 5'8" and I think I can make it work with the seats folded and slid all the way up, but it would be a little tight for 2 people without removing the seats.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@jcavidz awesome thanks. We got in the back of an outback which is amazing but it's not very wide.

[@harisasidhar]

Thanks for the video. Is there a diff between xle and xse in drivability? is it really worth going with xse for sporty tune?

[@jcavidz]

I wanted the XSE for the seat material and the exterior package. I dont expect either van to handle like a race car, but people do say the ride is stiffer on the XSE. I think it rides nice and soft.

[@Theoneandonlyearthhuman]

The xse feels faster

[@ccchoe3171]

I just got one. Do you turn all sensors off when going through the wash?

[@jcavidz]

Yes, you can temporarily mute the parking sensors.

[@OTPLAYLIST]

Do you think it has enough power? Thanks

[@jcavidz]

It has no problems merging onto the freeway. I'm not taking this van to the track to race it though. I haven't towed anything with it yet, but I'll update you on its performance when I do.

[@OTPLAYLIST]

@@jcavidz Thanks. I heard other reviewers say the engine seem struggling and make unpleasant sound when getting up to speed. Do you find the same? Thanks

[@jcavidz]

@@OTPLAYLIST people just aren't used to the sound of the engine paired with the eCVT transmission. The engine isn't struggling at all. They're just not used to not hearing a gear shift.

[@BradimusMaximus78]

Not enough pics of the dog

[@makatron]

Are the cup holders big enough for a 30oz yeti tumbler?

[@jcavidz]

I will get back to you on that.

[@js2009-g9f]

Technically it’s a lemon.

[@jcavidz]

Uhhhh what?

[@briannegnubu2346]

Maybe American or European lemon car owner

[@BrankoFlyFish]

Did you have a chance to test the AWD handling ?

[@jcavidz]

I've driven it up mountain passes and it felt very planted. I think it had more to do with the suspension though. Now, it also had no problem accelerating out of turns and that maybe a benefit of awd. The traction was definitely there.

[@joshephand5538]

Toyota dealers don’t want do do any warranty work, until the warranty ran out then they do the work and charge you

[@thendino1]

Really how so
