2012 Toyota Sienna

The Toyota Sienna moves into 2012 with a number of comfort and convenience enhancements. With state-of the art features and rewarding driving dynamics, the Sienna is a vehicle that current minivan, passenger car and SUV owners will find satisfying to drive.

Toyota designed this current-generation 2012 Sienna to convey a distinctive presence in the family van segment. The shape is also functional; a coefficient of drag (Cd) of .306 is low for the class and a major factor in providing a quiet interior and admirable fuel economy.

The distinctive swept shape of the dashboard creates the perception of increased personal space for both driver and passenger. The seat designs add flexibility and roominess, while central climate and audio controls are integrated into a single graphic element.

The 2012 Sienna offers a choice between two responsive engines: a 3.5-liter V6 or 2.7-liter four-cylinder. The 3.5-liter V6 generates 266 horsepower and has a 3,500-pound towing capacity.

With 187 horsepower, the 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine also produces responsive power. Both engines are matched with Sienna's state-of-the-art, electronically controlled six-speed transmission with sequential shift that provides a smooth gear-shift feeling, quiet performance and a lightweight, compact size.

The 2012 Sienna is available in five grades: Sienna grade, LE, SE, XLE and Limited. All-wheel-drive is available with the V6 on LE, XLE and Limited models. All others are front-wheel drive.

Both seven- and eight-seat cabins can be configured for a full contingent of passengers, a load of cargo, or a mix of both.
