All the trims of the Sienna Minivan come with a V6 engine. So, powertrain wise you will get the same amount of punch and thrust from the engine. There is just a negligible difference. However, what you will miss out on is the availability of features that are more and various on the higher-end trims. As per our recommendation, the XLE trim is the best value for money option.

Ride and Handling

In addition to being slow, the 2017 Toyota Sienna is unkindly loud. There are all sorts of noise in the cabin, ranging from engine sound to vibrations from bumps on the road. Although the ride packs a robust 3.5L V6 powertrain, the heavy AWD depresses it down. The 8-speed automatic transmission isn't as responsive, as it needs to be.

The ride is excellent to traverse snowy streets and roads. Furthermore, the ride offers a composed, comfy ride on highways with a better level of bump absorption.
