2008 Toyota Sienna

Overview

Toyota Sienna brings Toyota quality and safety standards to the competitive family van segment, and offers one of the only all-wheel-drive family vans on the market. The wide choice of model grades, combined with extensive standard equipment and thoughtful features make Sienna a van of outstanding value. The Sienna is available in four model grades: CE, LE, XLE and the top-of-the-line Limited.

Engine and Performance

The Sienna's standard DOHC, 3.5-liter V-6 produces 266 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 245 pound-feet of peak torque at 4,700 rpm. A dual variable valve timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i) system operates on both the intake and exhaust valves to ensure optimal performance and efficiency at all engine speeds. The V-6 is mated to an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i).

Body and Styling

A 119.3-inch wheelbase gives Sienna exceptional interior room and offers a smooth ride. Passenger and cargo room focus on intelligent space optimization. The dashboard-mounted gated shifter allows pass-through room between the front seats. Sienna offers two distinct second-row seating options, which are easy to adjust, tumble or remove. In its seven-passenger configuration, it features second-row captains chairs with a passenger-side chair that can be repositioned side-to-side to offer either a bench or a bucket arrangement.

Safety Features

All seating positions are equipped with three-point seatbelts. Front seat-mounted side air bags and side-curtain air bags covering all three seat rows come as standard equipment on all Sienna grades. Lower anchor with tethers for children (Latch)) is used in all second-row seating positions. Sienna has been engineered to provide responsive, confident handling, and all models feature as standard anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Vehicle stability control with traction control and rear disc brakes are also standard on all models.
