2007 Toyota Sienna Review

By KBB.com Editors

The Toyota Sienna is considered one the best minivans on the market today. Although not as big as the Honda Odyssey or Dodge Grand Caravan, the Sienna is still a sizable family hauler with room for up to eight persons. Known for its solid build and a spotless reputation for reliability, the Sienna quietly retains one other noteworthy quality: A strong resale value. A number of attractive features you won't find on most minivans, such as sliding-door windows that roll down and the option of all-wheel drive, serve to further the Sienna's appeal.

You'll Like This Car If...

If you're comparing minivan comfort and convenience, you'll find the Sienna borrows many of the best ideas from each of its competitors and combines them into a strong, well-built platform.

You May Not Like This Car If...

The Sienna can get pricey as you move up the trim range, but the same can be said of the competition. About the only reason not to like this van is if you are not partial to the styling or interior layout.

What's Significant About This Car?

The Sienna receives a big boost in power with the addition of a new, 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Driving the Sienna

Driving Impressions The Sienna's new 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers where it counts, and it performs beautifully in both city and highway driving. The Sienna pulls quickly from a dead stop and power...

is masterfully managed by an electronically controlled five-speed automatic that makes the most of the engine's torque curve before seamlessly shifting to the next gear.

The Sienna's wide stance and long wheelbase make for an extremely smooth ride and further bolster the Sienna's already rock-solid stability. Some drivers may feel the steering effort to be somewhat heavy for a minivan, but the resultant firm and direct steering makes it possible to pull off highly accurate maneuvers not usually attempted in a vehicle of this sort.

Favorite Features

Sliding Side-Door Power Windows
Sliding side-door power windows allow passengers to enjoy as much fresh air as they like.

Split Flush-Folding Third-Row Seat
The Sienna's split flush-folding third-row seat allows you to carry both additional passengers and cargo.

2007 Toyota Sienna Details

Interior

A look inside the Sienna clearly shows that Toyota has moved into the upscale van market. Trim levels grow to four: CE, LE, XLE and Limited. Each trim receives a great standard equipment list. The Sienna's seats take full advantage of the van's extra room and have been given wide seat bottoms as well as better back rests. The Sienna's seating configuration can hold up to eight passengers (two in front, three in the center and three in the third row's split-bench seat). Like the Honda Odyssey, the Sienna's rear seat can fold flush into the floor and features a 60/40 split. Cargo space behind the third seat has been improved thanks to the Sienna's longer wheelbase.

Exterior

The Sienna is smartly styled but offers nothing radical in the way of exterior features or design. Last year's overhaul added nearly five inches to the Sienna's wheelbase. Five inches may not seem like a lot, but to an engineer it's a dream come true. With those five extra inches, the Toyota team increased interior volume by over 45 cubic feet and also extended the Sienna's width and height without detracting from its stability. This new, wider footprint is responsible for much-needed extra hip and shoulder room, a noticeable shortcoming on the outgoing model.

Notable Equipment

Standard Equipment

The Sienna CE includes a V6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes, 14 cup holders, rear defroster, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, dual sliding side doors, power door locks, illuminated remote keyless entry, power liftgate release, AM/FM stereo with CD, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power windows, full wheel covers and a rear wiper.

Optional Equipment

Options vary by trim and include all-wheel drive, power seats, leather interior, heated front seats, cruise control, dual power sliding side doors, stability control, traction control, power-folding third-row seat (Limited), four-wheel disc brakes, power lumbar support, DVD rear-seat entertainment system and alloy wheels. The XLE and Limited trim offer laser-guided cruise control and optional navigation.

Under the Hood

There is only one engine offered with the Sienna: A robust new V6 offering strong off-the-line acceleration, quiet operation and decent fuel economy.

3.5-liter V6
266 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
245 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4700 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/26 (FWD), 18/23 (AWD)

"I purchased my Toyota Sienna brand new when our first son was just a few months old. It has performed wonderfully. This is the only vehicle I have ever owned that I never want to get rid of. I agree on the tire wear issue. I just attributed it to buying cheaper tires. I have had one nagging issue with my driver side door check. It is the black bungee looking thing near the hinge. It has separated from the door twice now. I did not have Toyota fix it the first time 2 years ago due to price of over $700.00. Now it is broken again. Other than that I cannot imagine not having a mini van with two kids under 10 and all their gear. Creature comforts are awesome. We are taking this on a road trip to Colorado and I have no worries. Looks just like new too. Highly recommend!"

"I wish I would have had a Toyota Sienna sooner! We bought it used in 2011 and we have had no problems at all with it. It is so easy to get my toddler in and out of his car seat. Much easier on the back! It is also easier for my older children to get in and out of the van. It's very comfortable for long distance traveling."

"Bought this vehicle new and I have had zero issues over the last 8 years. One battery and scheduled maintenance. The ergonomics are really suited for female drivers as the lay out is friendly to shorter people. Very comfortable unless you are 6 ft plus and driving. Even if you are tall, as I am, it is still good. My next van will be a Sienna"

"We bought the LXE new and from the day we got it my husband and I loved it even more as time went by, to 4/4/13, we both agreed that we were going to keep this van as long as we both shall live. There is nothing about the van that we didn't love. From the comfortable, heated when necessary...(live in AZ) seats, ease of driving, visibility, quality of construction... we could go on and on. The best feature of the vehicle was that the seat belt kept me glued to my seat as I went airborne and rolled over coming to a halt on the passenger side with me alone inside the car still in my seat hands on the wheel.The 2 front door windows shattered to pieces along the flight :-) as did the entire windshield and the driver's side airbag deployed, with only a minor bruise to my left forearm because I tried to shield my body from it. 2 strangers came over to my aid as many others did. Once the guys knew I was safe and alone they proceeded to breakdown the windshield and give me their hands to help me step out of the van and walk away. Can't sing enough praises to this vehicle, the 2009 Toyota Sienna XLE and I will miss it unless we can find another just like it."

"This is my second Sienna. Shopped around ALOT before buying another Sienna. Best value for $; very comfortable ride even on very very long car trips. Only hiccup ever was after-factory add-on of back-up warning sensors which were installed wrong and caused major electrical issues until they were able to fix it. It is rough on tires and brakes but Toyota service is great. Recommend it for anyone w/ kids to haul around or who go on lots of vacations. Also great if you have (or you are) elderly or have back issues because it is easy to get in/out of. One reason for buying it was because of stepdad who is handicapped. SUV's were too high and standard cars too low for him to be able to get in/out of vehicle easily. I have back problems and the adjustable seat is a big help."
