As a fellow Toyota salesperson I thank you for all that you do. You sir, are a treasure to both Toyota and Toyota sales people everywhere. Much love from PA
Hey Jeff! Just got one of these as a work vehicle. Thanks for the tour. I learned a lot. My first experience driving a hybrid and our newest Toyota was a 2006 Solara. Still have the ‘04 Sequoia w/160K miles. This thing is slightly more complicated and I appreciate you taking the time to explain the features. I found the battery venting, cruise radar adjustment, fuel efficiency driving tips and display options valuable. Your humorous comments along the way are a welcome addition. Glad I found your channel!
My wife and I are both full time UBER/old school taxi drivers. We have operated 6 dodge grand caravans with the SXT trim. Our customers are really impressed that the doors automatically open for them as they approach the vehicle. Unfortunately, I did not see the automatic doors in operation in your video.
Because this is the less expensive trim. I don't know if they open from just approaching, however - I would think that's actually dangerous. You do, however, need to press a button or wave your foot underneath to make the doors open.
I attempted to make a purchase to show my education appreciation. I want the best for myself so, I can direct others the way of future movement. Toyota is like gravy. Drive time.
The Sienna is among the most reliable vehicles, my 2005 still runs like new with 311K miles on the odometer without having to replace anything major except 3 timing belts, 1 starter, 1 radiator, 1 alternator, a set of catalyst converters, a few sets of tires and a few batteries. The Suspension, electric windows, ice cold AC, transmission, Engine, paint, fuel pump etc all original. New Sienna hybrid is interesting because it’s 36 mpg hybrid but I don’t like it’s cheap taillights that is substantially lower illumination than most of modern vehicles. Honda, Acura, Audi, BMW, Kia, Hyundai, Lexus, Infiniti, Nissan, Mini, GM, FORD, Chrysler all have superior taillights than this all new Toyota minivan.
i was able to snag the XSE FWD before it hit the dealership, it is an amazing machine, I traded in a 2020 XLE that we loved as well but was wanted the hybrid for fuel economy and tech. I love that they finally got rid of the cruise control stick and it now is on tthe steering wheel. It is smaller than the 2020 and the other things we noticed was the rear side windows don't open which was great for exhausting heat and dog gas rapidly. It also has a center console with the shifter there, I really liked the shifter on the dash and the open cockpit of the 2020. Over all we love it, it has 3 drive modes and is so quite and fast. I love the fact that its a head turner people look and say wow that's a mini van! ours is bright white with black trim and 20 inch wheels awesome!!!
Buyer beware-- the 2022 Sienna will collect debris inside the rear bumper causing part of the Toyota Safety Sense to fail (RCTA and BSM). It's a design flaw. So if you own this van, be prepared to regularly spray out the inside of the bumper. I would not recommend driving the van on anything but dry roads with minimal dirt.
Always a pleasure watching Jeff's reviews but this one is my favorite so far. So damn funny. Damn near spit my drink out when he talked about the daylight savings thing at about 16:50
We also think the AWD sienna is awesome. The stigma that mini van is for only uncool family with kids vehicle. Toyota decided to change that and figure they would make it look really cool. Well it worked . We ordered one. My wife really likes that space under the shifter. Looks like the perfect space to put her purse.
Love your reviews. Is there anyway you can measure the length of space with the second row moved as far forward as possible and of course with the 3rd row stowed? I’m hoping for around 75 inches. Thanks.
You have the best presentation out of all the youtuber car reviewers. My god other ppl on youtube are just awful. Can never actually look at the vehicle without them yapping about dumb things no one wants to know about
Jeff, please call Toyota and tell them we in EU also need hybrid minivans like xle sienna - 8 seater. If not Toyota, is doing Proace with Stellantis for Europe, but only with diesel power. It that had hybrid power - works perfect for big family, taxi etc.
Hey Jeff, I wish you were selling Toyota's in Leesburg, Florida, (central Florida). I just bought a 2022 XLE and am anxiously awaiting delivery in about two weeks. Can't wait. I love your personality and I bet that you sell cars, big time!! Keep up the great videos. I may watch just to see what you will do next.
Jeff, If I needed a minivan, the Sienna LE AWD, with amazing mpg, would be the one . LEss is more! In my part of Ontario, where we say Toyota not TEE-ota, the weather has been splendid of late.
This was helpful. I wish there was a memory seat function. My wife is a foot shorter than me. I also wish that the back seats could be removed like most past models...
I’m being told by local salesmen that the “in a pinch” seat cannot be removed. You (as well as other video reviews and the Toyota specs) say that it can. You didn’t actually remove it in the video though - are you able to do a quick video of the seat being removed so that I can see it with my own eyeballs? Trying to get confirmation of this has been… well, I’m starting to feel like I’m on a Seinfeld episode
Great videos! I do have a very specific question. On your XLE vs LE video you say that the LE does NOT have the grab to unlock feature, however in this one it sounds like you mention that the LE DOES have the feature on driver and passenger doors. Is this a feature they have added to the 2022 LE models, or am I misunderstanding? My heart wants a woodland or XLE but my pocketbook is saying go with the fairly well equipped LE. The grab to unlock feature is very convenient on our RAV4 hybrid and could sway my decision one way or another for which trim Sienna we go for. Thanks!
I drove both the new Hybrid Sienna and 3.5 liter with dual injection. I must say new Hybrid Sienna is quicker off the line due to electric motors. 3.5 liter Sienna gets horrible gas mileage on the city (around 11 - 13) but decent on the highway 28. Expect 30 mpg on a front wheel drive Hybrid Sienna with hard driving.
Thanks for great videos Do all the toyota hybrids Have the same wonderful Climate control That you can have a.c. and heat Without damaging the engine? If so getting the sienna... 😊 Thanks
This would probably be great for camping you could probably remove the second row seats with a few screws I wonder what the fuel economy would be idling I know my Prius Burns about a gallon a night
I really like the woodland because of the AWD & higher ground clearance. I am hoping to buy a used 2021 in Oct of 2022 but I wonder if it will be hard to find and if buying a new one would cost the same. Dose anyone have a crystal ball? I wonder if the dealership service department could lift the ground clearance on another trim if a Woodland isn't available without compromising the warranty
Issues with this trim i.e steering wheel is thick with odd hold areas in the middle...Really uneasy while driving and not at all confident inspiring. Unlike Camry's door close sound,siennas one is solid...but only that thing is somehow solid....all other cost cutting is explicitly visible if u spend few hrs inside the vehicle...plastic slots inside air vents are unbelievably thin compared to any other vehicle in the world and if u press harder it would break easily...visor thickness is drastically reduced compared to any previous Toyota vehicle and reduced seat cushion thickness in 2nd row etc..
How can i activate the front camera for easy parking on LE? I yet the rear camera when in reverse but I dont find how to set the front camera on LE 2022
hi, jeff I have the exact car like this. It doesn't come with a GPS. Can I buy the Toyota map sd card and install it? Where do I need to put the sd card?thank you!
I just got my 22 this week and I cannot find where to store my 8th seat! My 2014 model had a nice storage section on the side. Where are we supposed to put the 8th seat when not in use?!
Thanks for the show, too bad there is no black interior option with 8 seats, kids make messes and this bright color interior just seems like not a good standard option.
As a fellow Toyota salesperson I thank you for all that you do. You sir, are a treasure to both Toyota and Toyota sales people everywhere. Much love from PA
Toyota and Lexus are the best based on my real life experience for 45 years.
Thank you for reviewing the LE model! It can be difficult to find good reviews of anything besides the middle/top tier models.
Hey Jeff! Just got one of these as a work vehicle. Thanks for the tour. I learned a lot. My first experience driving a hybrid and our newest Toyota was a 2006 Solara.

I like that the spare is housed within the vehicle. No dealing with rusted up bolts when/if you need to use it.
I’ve watched this video like 10 times now because mines is finally coming in a few months and I’m so excited to get it! Thanks Jeff!
I have this van! I am getting 38.1 miles per gallon!
Wow that’s a great endorsement! @toyotausa
@@Toyotajeff Especially from a guy whose leadfoot can only get 34 mpg from a Venza Hybrid ;-)
Way to go Donna!!!
Do you have front wheel drive?
Yes it’s front wheel drive.
Just bought my third Sienna van(2022 model). Can't beat these for reliability and resale. Thanks Jeff Teague for your informative videos!
Texas! 32degrees today 73 degrees yesterday! Thank you for this video!!!!!!! Decided to purchase o line delivery Wednesday!
We just purchased the 2022 Toyota sienna Le in sunset bronze mica! I love it!
My wife and I are both full time UBER/old school taxi drivers. We have operated 6 dodge grand caravans with the SXT trim.

That’s a non hybrid fwd with a automatic transmission. This only shares the same name. Time will tell if it’s as good.
i have placed my order for the XSE AWD about 3 weeks ago
But have to wait at least 4 months to have it, can't wait to drive this beauty 😍
i was able to snag the XSE FWD before it hit the dealership, it is an amazing machine, I traded in a 2020 XLE that we loved as well but was wanted the hybrid for fuel economy and tech.

I'm from Texas.
And, I enjoy only Jeff's reviews.
I get on youtube, look for a vehicle review, and look for Jeff.
We boughta a 2022 xse awd last month. So far very happy. Been able to squeeze close to 40 mpg out a few times.
How much did u pay?? In Illinois they asking 4k extra on msrp !!!!
@@amazinghetaksh6540 i got it for msrp plus the Toyota 500 rebate.
Does it have the all wheel drive?
@@emilycarnes3162 yes. It was a must and hard to find.
@@amazinghetaksh6540 44,450 with 500 rebate. We didn't get the plus package. Just a ruby red xse with awd, spare tire, and floor mats.
Best comprehensive review I've seen.
Funny, I'm from Raleigh (30+ years) then moved to Arizona as you mentioned in your trip example. Great help-thanks m'man! Just bought this LE.
Great review! We’re about to purchase a 2022 LE ourselves!!
Lack of rear bumper will make possible all rear repairs pretty much expensive even on minor mistakes
Always a pleasure watching Jeff's reviews but this one is my favorite so far. So damn funny. Damn near spit my drink out when he talked about the daylight savings thing at about 16:50
I absolutely love the sienna
We also think the AWD sienna is awesome. The stigma that mini van is for only uncool family with kids vehicle. Toyota decided to change that and figure they would make it look really cool. Well it worked . We ordered one. My wife really likes that space under the shifter. Looks like the perfect space to put her purse.
@@jimjr9143 after the oem tires are needing to be replaced I’d slap on some knobby all terrain tires for attitude
Just purchased this exact model with the same specs. Can't wait.
The daylight savings comment is what reminded me to hit "like" lol
Love your reviews. Is there anyway you can measure the length of space with the second row moved as far forward as possible and of course with the 3rd row stowed? I’m hoping for around 75 inches. Thanks.
Have u got that info?
You have the best presentation out of all the youtuber car reviewers. My god other ppl on youtube are just awful. Can never actually look at the vehicle without them yapping about dumb things no one wants to know about
I'm eagerly anticipating a Woodland edition!
I wish it was lifted more like a highlander
Very good coverage of all features. Thanks.
Jeff, please call Toyota and tell them we in EU also need hybrid minivans like xle sienna - 8 seater. If not Toyota, is doing Proace with Stellantis for Europe, but only with diesel power. It that had hybrid power - works perfect for big family, taxi etc.
You're hilarious, really enjoyable review. Question: Do the rear, side/third row windows open for venting?
58 NYC. Thank you Jeff. Helpful review. Sienna is a great people mover. :)
Hey hey Mike!!

This is probably my fave time of year
@@Toyotajeff To be honest, we tend to pronounce the second T as a D in the typical North American idiom. ToyoDa.
Like Mahhz-da (Canada) and Maahz-da (US)?
Thank you very much for such a detailed review.
This was helpful. I wish there was a memory seat function. My wife is a foot shorter than me. I also wish that the back seats could be removed like most past models...

Hey Jeff, you should do a Sienna woodland edition video.
Yes please do the Woodland! I am hoping in October 2022 to buy a used one but I am afraid it will be hard to find one
Thanks for the detailed review Jeff! Loved it. I am waiting for a sunset bronze mica one for 2 months now :( Hope to get my hands on one soon.
welcome back
Hi there!
Great videos! I do have a very specific question. On your XLE vs LE video you say that the LE does NOT have the grab to unlock feature, however in this one it sounds like you mention that the LE DOES have the feature on driver and passenger doors. Is this a feature they have added to the 2022 LE models, or am I misunderstanding?
My heart wants a woodland or XLE but my pocketbook is saying go with the fairly well equipped LE. The grab to unlock feature is very convenient on our RAV4 hybrid and could sway my decision one way or another for which trim Sienna we go for.
Thanks!
Can anyone confirm this?
GREAT presentation as always. BUT 3 STAR crash rating for Sienna driver side????? why why why??
Yikes our Sedona is 5 star. Feels more like a tank than a sienna.
Where do you store the center seat (8th seat) now that you have that spare tire in the back?
Hey, very nice and clear video you made! I got my new Prius Prime today but I was wondering how to change the charging schedule?
Can you remove the 2nd row middle seat completely?
Hi Jeff, the second row middle seat we can remove from the panel same like 2020 sienna
I’ve Don’t Know Any thing About Car Mechanics. But I Have a CDL License Class B. How Would’ve I know when to change tires Oil Change, Tune Ups ect
Thanks Jeff! Very detailed instructions! I'm getting one just like this one in your video next week!
I drove both the new Hybrid Sienna and 3.5 liter with dual injection. I must say new Hybrid Sienna is quicker off the line due to electric motors. 3.5 liter Sienna gets horrible gas mileage on the city (around 11 - 13) but decent on the highway 28. Expect 30 mpg on a front wheel drive Hybrid Sienna with hard driving.
What about the spare tire?
Is it there?
And if not equiped and the owner buys one; where can he put it? Is there any slot?
Thanks for great videos
Do all the toyota hybrids
Have the same wonderful
Climate control
That you can have a.c. and heat
Without damaging the engine?
If so getting the sienna...
😊 Thanks
Can you get the power tailgate on a LE after you buy one as an accessory ? Thanks
11:30 that's the first time I've ever seen
the word "Tacky" used literally.. :)
Hi Jeff. Nice looking mini van.
Is the Rav4 2022 out yet?
This would probably be great for camping you could probably remove the second row seats with a few screws I wonder what the fuel economy would be idling I know my Prius Burns about a gallon a night
Thanks for the awesome review. Jeff, where can I get a Brochure from the all-new 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid Minivan by mail?
They are online only now. Toyota.com…shopping tools…brochure
Thanks for letting me know this information.
Toyota really should drive home the fact it’s not a traditional “rubber bandy” CVT, it’s a planetary system.
Yes they should!
gaaad faaadu.... bahu thandi boss...
Can you just regular cruise? or do you have to use adaptive cruise control?
Can you do a video on the differences between a 2021 and a 2022?
Sure I can do that
with the value of my kia being 29,000 Kbb I think it would be a good idea to get a new Sienna what do you think
I really like the woodland because of the AWD & higher ground clearance. I am hoping to buy a used 2021 in Oct of 2022 but I wonder if it will be hard to find and if buying a new one would cost the same. Dose anyone have a crystal ball?

Very good when are you going to review the 2022 sienna limited
Is there a switch to fold in mirrors when entering a garage?
@toyotajeff how would we go to install foglights to LE MODEL?
Does le come with the climate control that turns car off and on ?
Hey Jeff
Does this LE come with remote start?? If its not then can we get that installed from Toyota dealership ??
I’m gonna buy this car
Issues with this trim i.e steering wheel is thick with odd hold areas in the middle...Really uneasy while driving and not at all confident inspiring.
Unlike Camry's door close sound,siennas one is solid...but only that thing is somehow solid....all other cost cutting is explicitly visible if u spend few hrs inside the vehicle...plastic slots inside air vents are unbelievably thin compared to any other vehicle in the world and if u press harder it would break easily...visor thickness is drastically reduced compared to any previous Toyota vehicle and reduced seat cushion thickness in 2nd row etc..
I NEED ONE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
Be patient, I am sure one will arrive soon.
Rain and Thunderstorm
Middle seat of missle row can be removed?!?!?!
Can the backup camera lines be changed from static to dynamic?
Where did you see Amazon Alexa on the window sticker?
How can i activate the front camera for easy parking on LE? I yet the rear camera when in reverse but I dont find how to set the front camera on LE 2022
Jeff, How do you manage to fight off the customers and sales staff long enough to shoot a 24 minute video?
I’m learning every day how to juggle projects!!!
Does this 2022 LE have keyless entry. And heated steering wheel for winter time?
Hi Jeff, Does this LE have 120V outlet? I am not seeing it in the video
I was wondering the same thing
Buy inverter
I want this car but I'm concerned about the CVT transmission on such heavy car..
Is there Auto Unlock on the LE as you mentioned?
hi, jeff I have the exact car like this. It doesn't come with a GPS. Can I buy the Toyota map sd card and install it? Where do I need to put the sd card?thank you!
I just got my 22 this week and I cannot find where to store my 8th seat! My 2014 model had a nice storage section on the side. Where are we supposed to put the 8th seat when not in use?!
In your garage bud
Does anyone know if fog lights can be added to this minivan? Thanks!
Disappointed the middle row seats aren't supposed to come out. But then I found another video that you can with a few mechanical steps.
what is wait time for sienna these days ?
Maybe 3-9 months depending on options and geography
18 cup holders?
Hey jeff In 2021 model. Le and xle has no Led strip light in the rear. Is that the same for 2022? Or they made the led strip light in rear standard ?
Do you mean the tail lights as not being LED?
Does the LE have remote start on the fob standard?
Also I can't find info on how to use the dashcam
Wow that's a lot of paint protection... What paint does Toyota use that they require so much protection?
It’s cheap paint. Toyota is notorious for paint quality issues and premature fading
What is the material of tailgate?
Remote start standard on the 2022 LE?
Too bad no black interior on the LE and non-removable second row. They were so close.
Anything on the Woodland Edition?
Thanks for the show, too bad there is no black interior option with 8 seats, kids make messes and this bright color interior just seems like not a good standard option.
Will the driver door unlock with the key in my purse near it? I can’t find the answer to this.
No it wont, youll need to move up to the XLE model for that.
Where is the sunglasses storage？
What's the mark up ?
The last gen felt roomier, regardless of what the numbers say.
it was but was not great on gas
