Thank you for helping make a decision between the XLE and the XSE. I was worried about the XSE being too stiff. I still can't get one though 😕 😪 😫 It looks like I have to drive my 2001 XLE with 360K miles for another 30K or 60K miles more until the supply chain issues are resolved 😀
@@nibinjoseph3725 Toyota is telling me that they are not even in production since mid September and I have confirmed it with six Toyota Dealerships within 300 miles. I might have to wait until 2023😔
@@titolefranc9409 oh really.where are you from? One of my friend got his car two weeks back and the other friend ordered and he gets in december. Btw am from dallas texas
I live in Santa Maria California. I have checked with Dealers from San Francisco to Los Angeles and they have all told me that they can't take a special order. They all want me to accept unwanted extras and a $2500 to $10000 market adjustment. I don't mind going to Dallas to pick up what I want. I have family in Denton. I don't mind paying MSRP. Do you have Sales Person to recommend?
Well its the same gas engine as the hybrid highlander so its the same 4 cylinder sound when the gas engine kicks in. Hybrids in general are more quite. That being said I much prefer the V6 engine sound in the gas Highlander the the 4 cylinder sound of any hybrid. So to answer your question it sounds the same as the highlander hybrid.
Re: Charging pad, "Gotta take off your case to get it to work". Not true. Charged my encased iPhone 8 just fine. I guess maybe if you have one of those uber thick Otterbox cases or something it might not work.
My galaxy 10S+ has a thin case on it and doesn't work. But it is still kind of dumb because you have to plug in your phone to use car play or andiod auto and that will charge it for you.
@@gizziesgarage6332 Hmm, weird it didn't work for you. Fair point if you intend to use Car Play or Android Auto all the time anyway. I heard the 2021 Pacificas have wireless Car Play / Android Auto. For me personally, I don't use Car Play on a regular basis, so I should be able to get plenty of use out of the wireless charging pad. Local dealer has a blueprint Platinum ordered for me, scheduled to ship out on December 8 from Indiana. Looking forward to it...I was really impressed with the LE model that I test drove. I was leery about the hybrid 4 cyl and CVT. I had already decided to get a Pacifica...but when the local Toyota dealership called to let me know they had a 2021 available, I figured I would give it a chance. Glad I did. After my local Chrysler dealer told me they still have no idea when they'll be able to order an AWD 2021 Pacifica Pinnacle for me, I decided to just go with the Toyota. Only major thing I'll be missing is stow-n-go, but my wife's Pacifica will still have it, so it's not a dealbreaker.
@@rebel7254 looking forward to that. But Toyota always lags behind upgrading tech. They want to make sure it is reliable before they put it in they vehicles

Thanks for that review. That was the most honest review I have seen. Ok looks like you convinced me to get this.
Don't drive a Tesla after your drove this sienna. Otherwise, you'll have a change of heart :)
you can't remove the 2nd row seats in the 2021 Sienna because the airbags are mounted in the seats

So which one did you choose?? XLE or XSE?

BTW they won't even take cash because the Finance Office won't close the deal without their extras.
Great video. Hope to see more of your videos so I’ve subscribed to help you reach the 1k subs you need.
Thank you!!
How is the handling and confidence around corners? Toyota is so stupid to have wireless charger without wireless CarPlay
thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the drive. Snow test drive coming soon?
what’s the noise level compared to Highlander or old sienna?
Well its the same gas engine as the hybrid highlander so its the same 4 cylinder sound when the gas engine kicks in. Hybrids in general are more quite. That being said I much prefer the V6 engine sound in the gas Highlander the the 4 cylinder sound of any hybrid. So to answer your question it sounds the same as the highlander hybrid.

Is that an AWD XSE? Coz I noticed that the wheels are not black like the other XSE's
Yes it is. Only front wheel drives have black rims.
how did the brakes feel? i heard they feel weird
Brakes feel different because it is a hybrid and the brake energy goes back into the hybrid battery
@@gizziesgarage6332 I know but I heard they are worse on the 2021 Sienna than on the other Toyota hybrids. I don't know. Thanks for the reply.
@@toronado455 they dont bite as hard as other hybrid models i noticed. If that makes sense
@@gizziesgarage6332 thanks yes that's exactly what others are saying.
where can i find the spare tire on this car?
It doesn't come with one.
For the USA (not Canada), there is a $75 option to have a small donut spare tire, mounted in the driver side back interior wall.
What's this color called?
Pre-dawn gray mica
@@gizziesgarage6332 thank you.
great
