The brand-new Sienna is available in seven impressive builds. These include the L, LE, LE with Auto Access Seat, SE, XLE, XLE with Auto Access Seat, and Limited.

It features a large 16.4-inch screen that flips down from the ceiling. Your rear passengers can watch a single wide-angle video from the comfort of their seats. Alternatively, two separate images can be displayed on the screen so that everyone can enjoy their favorite media. With the included remote and wireless headphones, your backseat passengers can stay entertained no matter where your adventures may take you.

How is the Performance of the Toyota Sienna?

Regardless of the trim level, the 2019 Sienna is powered by a robust V6 engine. It's a 3.5-liter engine that's capable of generating up to 296 horsepower and 263 pound-foot of torque. The powerful engine utilizes direct-injection technology to make the most out of your fuel investment while giving you plenty of power. The engine is paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission system. To enhance your ride even further, Toyota has engineered the chassis with stiffness in mind. In total, it has 140 weld spots. The added rigidity helps to improve handling and make your ride smoother. The new Sienna is also very aerodynamic thanks to its air-fin stabilizers.

2019 Toyota Sienna Safety Features

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put the 2019 Toyota Sienna through some heavy testing and has awarded it with an overall safety score of five stars. The minivan comes with a number of safety features that are designed to keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Some standard features include Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and an advanced Pre-Collision system. Both of these active safety features utilize cameras and sensors built into the body of the car. With Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the Minivan will monitor your surroundings and adapt to the flow of traffic accordingly.

The Pre-Collision system looks out for potential hazards. If it detects trouble, it will provide audible alerts and give you more braking power. It may also apply the brakes automatically to avoid accidents. This system is so refined that it's capable of detecting pedestrians. Another useful safety feature is the Lane Departure Alert system. The sensors can read the road marking around you and provide you with alerts whenever you start to drift into another lane. If you don't respond, the Sienna may provide light steering guidance to keep you safe. This feature initiates whenever you're traveling faster than 32 MPH.
