The New 2025 Toyota Sienna Has Two New Features You're Gonna Love!

Great to see you back, Nathan! That Sienna is an excellent vehicle. I have a 2017 SE with the V6, and we love it. The downside to tje new hybrid models (you guys covered this when it first came out) is that the middle row seats are no linger removable. I believe this has something to do with the battery pack placement? Nonetheless, that is such a shame!!! I can fold down tje rear seat, remove my middle row, throw down a tarp and it's a huge space to load up with almost anything. All the best to you and your family, hopefully California is going well for you all.

[@fasteddie2gogg]

‘think the none removable middle seats has to do with the built-in airbags

[@themonsterunderyourbed9408]

It has nothing to do with the hybrid drivetrain. It's because the seats have airbags in them and they are needed for safety. The battery pack in Toyota hybrids is basically the size of a vibrator battery.

[@shawnhumphreys3504]

Keep in mind also that the seats are still technically removable, just require some extra steps, but there are video on how to do it while turning off warning light. Not sure if it voids warranty if caught, so proceed with cation, but still an option.

[@AubreyBryanna]

Heading into retirement, I was looking at a sprinter van for traveling. This is certainly an option. That center row seats looks comfortable.

[@jasonkernjr5343]

I love the idea of the vac and fridge, but they want $2700+ for it. Like, I can go get a mini fridge and portable vacuum for around $200 (and can plug them into the car).

[@ErronKebabb]

These 4th gen Siennas are some of the coolest looking cars on the road, let alone minivans! I preferred the matte finish center console with the pinstripe design though, and I hope they still offer the brown leather like the pre-refresh platinum had!

[@mistman5640]

Nathan, it is a popsicle! I mean it will keep popsicles cold. Very good for soccer dads. I wish you spent time to test the semi autonomous driving features.

[@jackfinucan9785]

Our 2018 XSE had the Shop Vac option in the rear. Never used it so I removed it and sold it for $200.

[@zacariaspiedrasdelrio8984]

Great to SEE You again, Nathan ☺️

[@Rickmakes]

You can buy a better portable vac for very little. Project Farm did a video on them recently. I forget the top pick.

[@ninurabandara3180]

but can you get a fridge ?

[@Rickmakes]

@@ninurabandara3180 You can get portable fridges. Most portable fridges that small use a Peltier cooler which is not very good. Portable compressor fridges take up a bit more room and would work well in the back but not between the seats. If this built in fridge is using the car's AC system, it is probably going to work well. Could be expensive to fix if it breaks though.

[@ninurabandara3180]

@@Rickmakes okay, thanks man

[@thugblaster303]

We own a previous generation Sienna, rented a new Sienna and it feels smaller, especially the second row seating. The previous generation lets you slide the second row back and forth for tons of room. Sticking with our old van until we find something better. Also can’t beat the v6 of our old sienna.

[@johnbeeck2540]

The second row seats move more than older models and in the platinum include a foot rest that can be raised. Very nice indeed.

[@BassRacerx]

I think my next vehicle would be the 2018-2020 sienna. I would of course love the newer ones with the hybrid drivetrain but it is not in my price range.

[@Californiagent]

Amazing

[@olebloom1641]

For 60k it seems to make sense to wait for a trade in and see if you can get a used one with lower miles for around 40kish,

[@Mr-pn2eh]

I'd willing to pay anything for this van

[@curtpederson2923]

I drove my 21 Sienna XSE AWD (MSRP at about $45,000) for 3 years and 58,000 miles. Toyota gave me $37,500 for it on trade for a 24 Sienna XSE AWD. They sold it for over $40,000. At this point in time I believe if a person waited long enough they could purchase this $60,000 Sienna for $40,000. Everyone has a different experience I suppose !

[@themonsterunderyourbed9408]

Used is more expensive than new and has way higher interest rates for financing.

[@yazars]

10:43 This is the second straight Sienna video that he has said the Sienna gets 45 mph. Where did he get these numbers from? That's way above the 35 to 36 MPG EPA rating and most people's reported real world experience

I still wish Toyota would produce a cargo van in the States. Preferably both a full-size and a compact size.

[@ManuNaz86]

I think it's EPA rate for 35 MPG, most people report getting avg 30 mpg. I am not sure where you got 45 MPG from .

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

I’m easily getting 36 in the xse 19k miles

[@adrienchan2097]

I get 36-39 mpg, and base on your feet!

[@kishorb4364]

45 is far fetched. I get 37 on my AWD for a year drive in MD. But driving style can have big mpg influence.

[@johnbeeck2540]

I rented a midlevel model for two weeks and averaged 44 mpg. About 4 tanks of gas so pretty representative mileage...

[@noblekitty]

My 2021 Avalon XSE was rated for 43-44, but I usually gets around 50 mpg. The Avalon and Sienna have the same drive-train.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Here’s what his van should have Toyota at a $60,000 price level… 1) Pano Roof 2) Power lumbar for pass frt seat 3) Why no Safety Sense 3.0 instead of having a 2020 version 2.0? 4) Cooled as well as heated second row and a heated third row. Even though the seat materials are cheaper in the third row don’t make passengers back there feel totally like they’re unimportant 5) Why sill no new gen 5 hybrid tech? Kudos though on power tilt/telescope steering column, also hybrid technology combined with all wheel drive and for having genuine leather on platinum trim in first two rows should be all three though. Lastly HUGE kudos on an amazing humanity driven standard across the Sienna line movement detection sensors in the vehicle when turned off and locked and exited to prevent children or pets being locked up in the heat accidentally. I’m surprised that Nathan didn’t mention this one a class exclusive and Very great safety feature.

I’m still driving my 99 Sienna. It doesn’t have a built in vacuum though. The new one for me, costs way too much and has too many options.

[@michaeloliver2337]

Honda had the built-in vacuum idea years ago. $60K for a minivan? Nope. Not affordable for many families. Car companies need to stop trying to sell loaded vehicles at ridiculous prices like they were able to do during the pandemic when there were limited vehicles due to the chip shortage and low interest rates. Way too many tech features that aren't necessary beyond the safety ones. Buttons and knobs work just fine and are less distracting. What is needed are basic vehicles without all the doodads like heated seats, worthless DVD screens (kids all watch videos on their phones now), etc. Navigation isn't even necessary any more as most people use Google Maps on their phones, which doesn't need expensive updates. Better to just make a standard feature of an adjustable phone mount. I won't even mention that hideous front grill. Seems the Toyota/Lexus cow-catcher/Darth Vader designer is still in charge.

[@Big_Mike_1116]

Meh. Toyota makes good quality vehicles and that's really the only benefit at this point. To get that good quality, you usually have to search for the make and model you want from various dealerships because their allocation rules are so unique to the industry that it makes it really hard to find the make, model and color you want. Dealers also know just how in demand these minivans are and usually charge a crazy markup. By local dealership told me it would be an extra 7K for a Toyota Sienna minivan. At that point it's just not worth it. The built-in vacuum cleaner might have been cool in 2014 when it was first introduced in the Odyssey, but today it's kind of silly. My wife has a Sedona and has a little portable vacuum cleaner in it that she'll just move into whatever her next minivan is going to be. Battery portable and rechargeable vacuums are commonplace and no one wants to be limited to the length of the vacuum tube anymore. Also, that center mounted screen is so outdated. Most SUVs and minivans nowadays have the rear screens mounted to the headrests so each person gets their own screen. Who wants to be looking up at the ceiling and sharing a screen in 2024? Makes it look super dated. Also, Toyota has to be thinking it's 2000 with that drink chiller. Every adult and child I know nowadays has an insulated beverage holder of some kind. Even my 4-year-old has to bring one to school everyday. Refillable bottles and bottle fillers are commonplace. Personally, if Kia gets the quality up a bit higher there and adds AWD to their hybrid Carnival, they would kill it in the minivan segment. Everything about the Sienna looks dated from the outside to the inside to the features.

Their service departments and prices have become just too effing ridiculous I am now back to doing my oil changes and basic maintenance because it's a rip-off to even attempt to bring the car into their service departments.
