 My name's up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Goldpony on the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2024 Toyota Sienna, courtesy of younger Toyota in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So today we are in this one because the Sienna does come standard as a hybrid configuration, which means excellent MPGs in a vehicle of this size. Not only that, all wheel drive is available for the Sienna which is a rarity with minivans. Can't say that for the Honda Odyssey for example. And there are a couple small changes for the 2024 model year as well. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2024 Sienna. First one being the LE starting at $37,685. XLE for $42,995. XSE for $45,245. Woodland edition all wheel drive starting at $48,625. Limited for $49,945. And the Platinum for $53,145. So all of that pricing with the exception of the Woodland front wheel drive comes standard. However, you can add all wheel drive to any of those other trims. If you wanted to do that, simply add $2,000 then to any of those prices. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on this Sienna is going to be the same. Powering the Beast is a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated inline-force cylinder with two electric motors putting out a combined 245 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. 176 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,400 RPM. That power being set to front wheels or all wheels through a CVT. Zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 7.7 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 36 in the city 36 on the highway for the front wheel drive. That's brilliant. 35 city, 36 on the highway for the all wheel drive. So really not really even a difference there for the all wheel drive. You gotta love that. But so then before we do any kind of fun acceleration test here or anything like that in this Sienna, I do want to mention to you guys the drive modes. There's a little toggle switch located just behind the shifter. Drive modes are going to include EV, normal, Eco and Sport. Just like things like the throttle response is steering sensitivity and then the EV mode that's going to allow you to drive short distance is the least on pure battery power basically. So gotta love that. So now that we got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Sienna here up to speed. All right. We are in sport driving mode. Go. Instant acceleration. You gotta love that hybrid system. That's actually not bad though. Yeah, that's actually plenty of an acceleration. I heard something moving around in the back cargo area there because that was actually a decent acceleration. You're not going to have any issues emerging onto the highway. And again, at the very beginning there because of the dual electric motors, it was instantaneous. There wasn't any delay like you quite often find with turbocharged four cylinder. So I'm definitely a big fan of that. So when it comes to the acceleration in Sienna, it will definitely get the job done. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So up front you will find 12.9 inch ventilated front discs and the back 12.5 inch ventilated rear discs. As far as that six easier stopping distance goes, that comes in at 131 feet. As far as the braking feel goes, since there's nobody behind us, it's a little bit on the softer side of things. Definitely not a firm braking feel, but it's pretty normal for the class. It's pretty normal for a minivan, 131 feet. That's what you would expect from a vehicle like this. So it's to be expected. I'll just put it that way. Then touching on suspension and handling up front, you're going to find an independent Mephira subtract front suspension in the back independent multi-link rear suspension. But with the XSE, believe it or not, you get a sport tuned suspension. Why do we need a sport tuned suspension in a minivan? I don't know. But it's there for you if you wanted the XSE trim level. But anyways, as far as ride quality goes in our short little test drive here today, essentially it'll be perfectly fine. It's been absorbing the road up perfection. It's not that there really are any right now, but it has been absorbing them perfectly fine. So I wouldn't have any issues taking this thing on a wrong road trip or anything like that. So as cabin always goes, we're going 55 miles per hour right now. So I'll let you guys be the judge of that. We'll say there's a little bit of wind noise, but road noise is pretty much kept at bay. So I definitely like that. As far as steering feel goes, it is a little bit of a difference depending upon the drive mode that you put it in. You do get a heavier weight to the steering in that sport driving mode, which I kind of like. And then when you take it out of that, it loosens up. So I do like that that's available. It's kind of something for everyone there. But having said that, do you really need a heavy steering feeling this, Sienna? No, you don't. Yeah, you don't. Then touching over your visibility, I could see perfectly fine out the back. You really shouldn't have any issues there. My headrests are kind of beefy. That's why I kind of hesitated there, but it'll get the job done. I'll just put it that way. And if you were to go at that platinum trim level, you will get rain sensing windshield wipers. But in addition to that, you're also going to get a head of display projecting your speed, speed limit, and safety features up onto your windshield. Better help assisting with forward visibility so you can better focus more if you're in touch and don't actually enjoying the drive. So they're pretty much out of the performance segment of this review guys. Let's not go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Toyota Sienna. All right, so here she is you guys, the new 2024 Toyota Sienna finished in windchill pearl. In case you were curious of the exact exterior color name that we had on this one here today, but so always let's go ahead and start with where this one is made, taking a look at the VIN. First character is the number five, indicating that the new Sienna is built and assembled in the US. So anyways, now go ahead and touch in on that front grille. There really isn't a front grille surrounding the Toyota emblem. Thought that was kind of interesting. Usually there is, but there is down below, but there is a black front grille for the LE, XLE and the Woodland trims, but then a metallic black front grille for the XSE and then a dark gray metallic front grille for the limited and the platinum. So there is gonna be a little variation depending upon the trim level that you go with there, but to the sides, LED headlights do come standard on every single trim level across the board. Gotta love that. They do come with LED daytime running lights. Get the automatic feature as well, of course. You actually get signature by LED projector headlights for the platinum trim level, if you wanted the very brightest illumination at night. There are some wide angle LED fog lights for the XLE trim level and up. You guys can see those in the bottom two corners there as well, but probably the main change for the 2024 Sienna on the exterior at least is gonna be the dark housings on the headlights. So before, if you guys remember, the LE and the XLE got the chrome housing surrounding the headlights, but now every single trim level is going to get those dark housings, which I personally like better because they go a lot better with the black accents on the front grille and surrounding the Toyota logo. So good job changing that one up Toyota. That pretty much rounds out the front end. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since we are around to the side of this one, all the way up top, you will find some roof rails. You get the crossbars specifically with the woodland, or they are optional, of course, with the other trim levels like we have today. But anyways, rear privacy glass does come standard on every single trim level across the board. Of course, chrome windows arounds also coming standard, at least chrome upper window trim, I should say. There used to be some hybrid bounding found on the front doors. I wanted to say that because there is no longer any hybrid bounding found on the front doors. So you guys can see there, take a look at the side mirrors. They are body color power adjustable side mirrors for all trim levels. They will be heated with blind spot warning indicators. You gotta love that. And then the limited and platinum trim levels are going to add to that puddle lights of power folding side mirrors, the reverse gear tilt down feature and memory settings then as well. So side mirrors really get souped up with their street trim levels. But anyways, let's take a look down at the wheel setup. 17 inch alloys for the LE and XLE trims. This is what you guys are looking at. 18 inch alloys for the woodland and the limited 20 inch dark alloys for the XSE. And then 20 inch metallic alloys for the platinum. But so that pretty much rounds out the side profile of this one. Let's not go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, and something else let's say you're around to the back of the Sienna. All the way to the top, you will find a matte black shark fin antenna just below that rear spoiler. Do you get a high mount stop lamp just below that rear spoiler as well? Of course, rear window wiper does come standard. LED taillights though, every single trim level across the board is going to get that. You gotta love that. Do you have the Sienna badge expelled out horizontally finished in a matte black as well? That looks pretty good. And just below it all, you will find a single exhaust outlet kind of tucked away underneath on the passenger side there. So having said that, I know it's a minivan. I know it's a hybrid so it's probably just gonna be the startup but we're gonna give it a shot anyways. As always, here is that exhaust clip. And so now since we are around to the back of the Sienna when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, you will find the power tailgate for the XLE trim leveling up. So I'm able to show that to you guys today. That's pretty cool. There's actually a button on the key fob and of course you can lift up on the rear handle there as well. Hands free power tailgate is gonna be optional for the XLE trim level and not them. But once opened up, car capacity behind that third row comes in at 33.5 cubic feet. That's insane. Usually what you get behind the third row is anywhere from 17 to 20 cubic feet. That's things like the Palisade and the Telluride and things like that. So that is a ton of space behind that third row. If you were to fold that third row down that bumps that up to 75.2 cubic feet and with all rows folded, 101 cubic feet. That is pretty impressive. It's actually slightly more than the Toyota Grand Highlander. So that is a good bit of space. But anyways, there's also some cargo lighting back there of course as well. And it's actually a pretty deep cargo area like it goes down a good bit. So ton of space back there. And I was able to find 120 volt power outlet. So if you wanted to plug in a toaster or a hairdryer or a drill or whatever the case, that's available for you back there as well. And even in our XLE trim level. So that's pretty cool. But anyways, then making our way up to the third row diagram. This is equally impressive, 38.7 inches. That's a ton of space for a third row legroom. For reference, I mean, even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. So definitely an adult friendly third row if you needed it. It's definitely impressive. Cup holders back there, of course, you actually have a couple USB charging ports as well. So I love that. So the kids can stay charged up back there. And if you wanted third row window sunshades go with the limited or platinum trim levels. That's how you're gonna get that. Then make our way up to the second row legroom that comes in at 39.9 inches. Once again, still an even six feet tall. Ton of space for me back there. Eight passenger seating is gonna come standard on the LE and XLE trims. However, seven passenger seating is going to come standard on all the other trim levels that seven passenger seating is optional on the XLE. And that's of course an option that we do have with us here today. So that's pretty cool. I like that setup. But six USB charging ports for all trim levels across the board, if you were to count them up. Second row window sunshades for all trim levels even the bottom trim level coming standard. And I love that. If you're gonna put second row window sunshades in any vehicle it's gonna be a minivan. Cause you guys know if you have kids you constantly are going to fast food and you're sitting in a parking lot afterwards and eating it maybe. And the sun is in one of your kids eyes. So I'm definitely a big fan of that. And in case you were curious, yes there is rear ventilation for all three rows found kind of on the ceiling of the CNF if you want to call it anything. So that is definitely good so all three rows can stay comfortable. But then make your way up to the front seats. Eight-way power adjustable driver seat does come standard for all trim levels. Claw seating for the LE but then a soft text upholstery for the XLE and woodland trims. XLE is also going to add to that heated front seats and a four-way power adjustable passenger seat then as well. Limited to the platinum trim we're gonna add heated and ventilated front seats. Leather seating and memory settings then. So overall my short little test drive here today. Seats are nothing crazy, but they're perfectly fine. You're not gonna have any issues taking this thing on a long road trip. As far as seat comfort goes at least so. Then taking a look at the steering wheel. It is power adjustable for the platinum trim level. It is gonna be leather wrapped for the XLE trim level and up and then heated for the platinum trim level only. But now making our way to the startup let me start by showing you guys the key. All of your buttons are located on one side of the key. Got lock, unlock the button to pop the rear tailgate there and the whole buttons for the middle two buttons there. That's to open your side doors of course which is pretty darn convenient. I like that. You can't do that in an SUV. So that's pretty cool. But it is all keyless entry with a bright blue push button start. So all I'm going to do here is to put my foot in the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee. And so once started up there's two different gauge clusters again depended upon the trim level that you go with. You're gonna find an analog gauge cluster with a 4.2 inch digital screen for the LE, XLE woodland and XSE trims but then a seven inch digital display for the limited and platinum trim levels. But that of course is not what we have today. So taking a look at the left you got your battery life indicator taking a look to the right got your speedometer and fuel information. And then front and center is the digital screen which you can control using the steering wheel mounting controls found on the left side of the steering wheel. And really it gives you everything that you need. It gives you your time of day, outside temperature, the drive mid that you're in how many miles you have left until you hit empty. There's a compass up there, radio information. The list goes on. So absolutely everything you need up there. But then making our way to overall interior quality a powered mooner is going to come standard on the XLE trim level end up. Got this cool school bus mirror that does come standard as well. So you can spy on the rear passengers kind of small but still it's there nonetheless. Try zoom climate control does come standard. So the rear passengers since that they're in temperatures there that's pretty cool for zoom climate control that are coming on the XLE trim level and up. You got to love that wireless phone charger for the limited and platinum auto dimming rear view mirror with homely controls for the XLE trim level and up. So yes, we have it with us here today. So if somebody puts on their high beams behind you it's auto dimming, it's not going to bother you and it is homely controls for up to three different garage doors. So I always love that feature as well. So overall when it comes to interior quality I was actually kind of impressed. A lot of soft touch material including the two places that the driver puts their elbow when they're just cruising. There's a lot of cool texturized finishes like surrounding the shifter and the cup holders here. They could have left that like a matte gray or black plastic, but they didn't. There's also this wireless phone charger just in front of the cup holders which I was putting my phone on. So that was pretty nice as well. A little bit of storage just above the passenger side glove box, but that cool texture as finished is carried on to the doors as well surrounding the power window buttons. I like that too. And there's actually a ton of hidden storage found underneath of the shifter here. And I'm meaning a ton. Obviously you could put like a bag or a purse down there if you wanted to and there's a 12 volt power outlet. So absolute ton of space and interior quality is definitely done very nicely. Kind of surprised me. I didn't expect it to be this nice. I guess I'll just put it that way, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. Nine inch color touchscreen display is gonna come standard across the board. Bluetooth and audio streaming, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay. Factory navigation system is gonna come standard on the limited and platinum trim levels. Can of course check out your radio information up there as well. So when it comes to the sound systems you will find six speakers for the LE, eight speakers for the XLE and XSE trims, and then a 12 speaker JBL sound system for the Woodland, Limited and Platinum trim levels. So now I'll have it got all of that out of the way. What do you gotta say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today. And let's test out the clarity of this one. It was perfectly fine. Actually, plenty of clarity. The base was more than I expected. I felt like there was definitely a subwoofer somewhere. So for a mini then I'll just put it that way. It's perfectly fine. Nothing crazy though, but last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the Sienna in reverse. You will find every review camera. It does take up the entire screen. It's not that high definition though. It's not that high quality, but it'll get the job done and then a bird's eye view monitor is gonna come on the platinum, letting you know what is completely all around you, which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so starting with the best part, IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, which is the very highest designation given by IIHS. And that's what you want in a vehicle like the Sienna, but front side, side curtain airbags do come standard. Drivers knee airbag as well. Front passenger seat cushion airbag to go along with that. In the back you're gonna have latch, AKA lower anchors to tether your children for the rear car seats. Rear child door locks, of course, tire pressure monitoring system, but also coming standard. A pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Lane departure alert, restraining assist, lane tracing assist, automatic high beams. I love that one. Dynamic radar, cruise control, road sign assist, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert. Then if you were to go with the XLA trim level and up, that's gonna add to that. Front and rear parking assist with automatic braking. You gotta love that. So ultimately when it comes to my final thoughts here of the Sienna, very nice exterior styling, believe it or not, for a minivan. It kind of surprised me because what I like about it is kind of the curves in the back portion on the side. It kind of reminds me of Lexus. So of course Lexus being the luxury brand of Toyota. So I do like the styling for that reason. Amazing MPGs for a minivan as well. When you can get 36 miles per gallon in a vehicle with as much space as the Sienna with all-wheel drive and regular unlit fuel, it doesn't get any better than that. That is a solid pick right there. And speaking of tons of space, it is a usable third row. That's a rarity as well. You got excellent safety and IIHS top safety pick plus. You can't beat that. A very good reputation for reliability as well. Just check out Consumer Reports for that. Really Toyota as a brand in general is known for insane reliability. Tourism for improvement goes. Honestly, I think you could probably add some ambient lighting, some multicolor ambient lighting. I think especially if you got kids in the back, that's kind of a feature that not only adults might like, but the kids might like as well. Being able to kind of tell the adults what color to change it to and things like that. So I think they would personally like that. But really other than that, this thing is pretty darn solid and definitely one that I would even consider for my family if I were to buy a minivan. This may very well be the one that I would actually pick. But anyways, that about rounds out this review guys. Thank you so much for watching.
