Used 2015 Toyota Sienna L for sale 

The Toyota Sienna is offered in a total of seven trim levels with seven and eight passengers configuration. The engine option is limited with a single V6 motor and FWD is the standard drivetrain layout, however, there is an available AWD layout as well. The trim levels start off with the base L trim that is priced at $28,700 and comes with a host of generous standard features barring the manually-operated rear sliding doors which can be cumbersome to operate sometimes. The LE trim eliminates the need for manual rear door operation with a power-operated unit and further adds an eight-way power driver seat, upgraded fabric upholstery, second-and third-row sunshades, and a six-speaker sound system. The XLE trim adds a power opening rear quarter window that comes in handy in various situations. The range-topping Limited Premium offers a plush experience with auto-dimming and power-folding outside mirrors, front and rear sunroofs, front and rear parking sensors, upgraded leather seating, driver memory settings, a heated steering wheel, and a power-folding third-row seat.

We Recommend

We would suggest you the LE trim if you’re a budget oriented buyer. Else, the SE Premium trim makes the most value for money option.

The Toyota Sienna minivan is powered by a standard V6 motor. The unit is good for a maximum of 266 horsepower and 245lb-ft of maximum torque. The engine is a pleasant one with a strong acceleration and power delivery. The only downside of the powerplant is its tendency to get vocal under hard acceleration, but hey we don’t floor the gas pedal of a minivan very often except for any urgency so it is not a huge concern. The motor doesn’t run out of steam even when you’re carrying 8 passengers on the van. The van can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour within 7.5 seconds, an impressive number for a minivan. The six-speed automatic transmission also does a great job and keeps the motor from working too hard at any situation.
