2023 Toyota Sienna Consumer Reviews

The vehicle specs speak for themself. It has more room than basically a Chevy Suburban, good layout, dead quiet inside and great for road trips or hauling around a crew of kids. You can read the specs, it's a great vehicle on paper in basically every category for what it is. Certainly, it's lacking a bit of power compared to a SUV, but it's not a slouch on power and performs well under every circumstance we've thrown at it. We have the AWD version as well and it's great in the rain or snow and on reasonable dirt roads, it's obviously not a jeep. However, the electronics and particularly the safety systems on it, are so insanely bad, I'd reconsider it as an option entirely. There is literally no electronic system that isn't annoying at the least, or unusable, or dangerous at the worst. The auto braking feature has almost killed us 5 times now, literally almost killed us, and that's not how many times it's just decided to engage, those are just the times where we were put into significant danger when it decided to. It will just stall out when making a turn and then you're stuck in the middle of the road for like 5 seconds before it allows you to accelerate again. With 45 - 60 mph speed limits around here on normal roads, sitting sideways in a lane for 5 seconds is just not ok, and while I can disable it temporarily, Toyota refuses to do it permanently. I am certain the auto braking has killed people already, 100% certain. We're super careful drivers and in just 1 year, we've had 5 really close calls and many more where there were zero cars around or in a parking lot and it just locks up violently to protect us from the wind or something. Other electronics are just insanely annoying, like there's no way to silence the seat belt alarm, at all, it's insanely loud and will never stop. Van won't move if the rear sliding doors are open, at all. The auto door and trunk opening features are so difficult to use, they're effectively useless. The auto lane feature for cruise control is dangerous and cruise control shuts off entirely if you take your hands off the wheel, you could be in the middle of a turn and it will just shut off and drive you off the road at full speed. The sensors are also slower than a windows pc from 1990, it detects things seconds after they are gone, person rides a bike behind the vehicle and it beeps after they're out of the frame. Wow, so helpful... I would also add, everything tries to get you back into a Toyota dealership for anything, wiper fluid low, visit your Toyota dealership, needs oil change, well that message is more important than the speedometer and stereo, go visit a toyota dealership. Meanwhile we still haven't been able to get another key fob because somehow Toyota was and is always out of them and they need hours to make a key that was supposed to come with the vehicle, color me surprised that they just want us to come in so they can try and sell us toyota care or some other recurring fee for a vehicle we already own. I could go on for several pages but these are some of the fun ones that come with this disaster, they do not end though. If it's electronic, it's bad. We love the platform, ours at least hasn't had issues like some of the real lemon stories I've heard. It has plenty of power, tons of storage room and seating and it's easy to move stuff around. It tows ok for the engine size. The gas mileage is excellent for a vehicle this large, we still get over 30 mpg with this thing loaded down. They just ruined a great vehicle platform with totally awful electronics, and they are so awful, that I wouldn't buy this vehicle again. I doubted my family, but they all purged themselves of their toyota trucks and suv's for the same reason, I didn't believe them, I wish I had.

Had it for a year with 16K, happy with my purchase. Great design, especially the driver's area, very spacious and ergonomic, great looking, practicality, no fancy technology, jusy reliable hard button for HVAC and all sorts of functions, I hope this will last forever. The quality is just average Toyota quality, but the 8 speakers system is just surprisingly good! I love the convenience of remote controled door and touch less function, but Toyota is very good very their sales strategy, these functions are only available with xle and upper, not the LE, which is okay, but the basic trim is not cheap, so please upgrade some premium functions for entry level owners! And TSS3.0 at least. The hybrid system is great, very fuel efficient. Only complaint is that sometime the breaks will randomly perform if I passed a curved road towards a stop. Highway engine sound is way too harsh, and wind moise is just too much. Overall it's a better choice over other brand due to it's reliability, resell value.

Hybrid, moonroof, tan interior, lowered floor for higher interior room, both front seats are removable and the EZ lock system is under the passenger seat. The electric wheelchair can come with the van, it is a F3 Permobile top of the line that has the bolt for the lock, it also raises and lowers. The van also has the kneeling system to make it easier and safer to enter and exit. It also has the safety features for the wheelchair. Both side doors are electric sliding. It has rear air/heat. The rear Hatch is touch button to open and close. The doors and rear can be opened and closed with the remote or inside buttons. PASSENGER front door has control buttons for the auto ramp. This is not all the options it has and it is top of the line, very clean and maintained.

Found a used Toyota Sienna that was right on my budget, and the people at the Toyota dealership were so helpful.

16000 miles so far. Love it!

We purchased a 2021 Sienna Platinum when the new model came out. For the first 35,000 miles or so my wife and I had no complaints. It hauls our family of 4 + luggage and everything else with no issues. I've put 12' pieces of lumber in it with no issue. But after 35,000 miles we are starting to have problems. The biggest issue is the van will cut power to the engine/battery and won't move when pulling out into intersections. Reading about this on other forums it seems to be an issue with the auto braking system. To note - when I brought this up to the dealer during an oil change no issues were identified. My wife and I have had multiple instances where the van starts moving into an intersection about 20 feet and will then "think" there is a potential issue and will cut power. It has left me (with our two kids in the backseat) sitting in the middle of an intersection and pressing the gas pedal doesn't do anything. This generally last a few seconds but is certainly an issue. Most recently when coasting to a stop (while on battery mode) the van lurched forward and almost rear ended the car in front. The auto collision, which is sensitive, even when toned down, didn't go off. If it weren't for these issues, we would hold onto the car for many more years, but it's now become a safety hazard.

Our 2024 Limited has been a wonderful car so far. It drives smoothly in the 98% of the time you aren't accelerating hard, is quiet on the highway, has reasonable pickup, and gets outstanding MPG. We averaged 40 MPG both ways this weekend on a mulit-hour trip to the beach at highway speed fully loaded up and have been getting about 38.5 combined. The front seat area is really well designed and the kids really love the long slide seats and comfortable second row. Cargo space is excellent and the controls are very easy. It isn't perfect though. It would be nice to have an 8 seat option in all trims and the screens are low resolution. That though is a small complaint. While driving who cares about how fancy a screen is when you are getting double the city MPG of the V6 competition?

The van has been awesome. We have the Limited trim and it's very comfy. We've had no issues with the drive itself, and our kids love riding in it. Our only complaint is that some of the cupholders are smaller than others, so bigger cups may not fit in them. Would highly recommend this vehicle though!
