We Recommend:

Our pick would be the fully-loaded Limited edition with AWD. The reason being it comes with a lot of features as standard and it allows us to choose a lot of other additional features from the options list. It might be expensive but when we are going to buy a minivan why do we have to compromise on the comfort.

The Toyota Sienna was a minivan that used a 4 cylinder engine but now it’s been made to compete in the 6 cylinder engine category as the V6 has been made standard.

The upgrading of the engine has led to significant improvements like the increase in power and performance of the V6 powered Sienna now puts out 266 horsepower compared to its previously 187 hp.

The Chrysler and the Dodge with their 3.6L V6 engines produce more horsepower than the Toyota but, despite the disadvantage of less power the Toyota manages to have a better top speed than the Dodge. All three minivans make use of a 6-speed automatic transmission. And use the FWD drivetrain.

A V6 in the Sienna is an ingredient that has garnered a lot of attention and excitement among people. The jump in power because of the new bigger engine does come with a compromise in fuel efficiency. The V-6 returns a fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway, in front-drive form. 

The Grand Caravan and the Chrysler are more powerful and just as expected are less efficient with fuel economy. Both the Dodge and Chrysler return a mileage of 17mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Even with the V6 engine just like its rivals, the Toyota is much more economical.

The Sienna is considered to be one of the most spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped minivans. This itself was good enough to garner the attention of the customers.

There was a demand for more power, which Toyota fixed by trashing the I-4 and bringing the V6 for the car to compete with the big leagues.

The Chrysler Town & Country and The Dodge are considerably smaller than the Sienna based on the measurements. The Sienna is pretty spacious and airy on the inside with plenty of room to unwind during the time spent inside. Some of the standard offerings from the base models are.

• Bucket Seats
• Leather Seats
• Premium Synthetic Seats
• Vinyl Seats
• Cruise control
• Multi-zone AC
• Rear AC

2013 Toyota Sienna Infotainment System

The new Toyota Sienna is a minivan that keeps luxury as an important ingredient. An infotainment system is an essential part of luxury in a car making it a component that is necessary for every car.

The Sienna’s base model ‘L’ comes equipped with only an MP3 player and an auxiliary port to complement it. The Infotainment features increase as we go up the trims. Some of the infotainment features in the 2013 Toyota Sienna are:

• CD Player
• Auxiliary Audio Input
• MP3 Player Compatibility
• Satellite Radio
• Optional Bluetooth Connectivity
• Optional Voice Control

The Sienna is a spacious minivan from the inside and that makes its proportions big from the outside as well.

The long, wide, and bulky proportions put the Sienna and the likes of it at a huge disadvantage during daily encounters like driving in traffic, parking, reversing, and thanks to the weight and pain to keep up speed on the highway.

The Chrysler and the Dodge Grand Caravan longer and heavier cars with a long wheelbase but the Sienna though not longer than the two is surely wider and has a shorter wheelbase. The Sienna out of the three has made the most and best use of the dimensions available to give better interior comfort without making the car too long.

The Toyota does not come with a lot of features as standard across its trims. There are really decent features on offer which are available in the higher-priced models by the maker. The Sienna is a minivan that is focused to take the fight against the big-engined minivans in the market.

In order to do this, Toyota started off with upgrading the engine to a V6. But, they have not compromised on the safety front and made sure of its sturdy build. It has an average 5 out of 5-star rating on the crash test. Below are some of the safety features offered in the 2013 Toyota Sienna.

• 6 Airbags
• Traction and Stability Control
• Tire Pressure Monitor
• Brake assist
• Knee airbags

The Toyota Sienna might be down on power than its competition but it is the best value for money option and is quite a treat in terms of passenger comfort. Coupled with Toyota's reputation for long-lasting build and quality, the price seems justified. But, even with the Sienna, the best option would be to start with the LE models and above since the L trim offers too few features.
