2018 Toyota Sienna - Review and Road Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Minivans aren’t cool and the 2018 Toyota Sienna is no exception. Image issues aside there’s arguably no better way to transport people and their gear than the humble minivan. In this video Kelley Blue Book’s Micah Muzio enjoys the honest practicality of the Toyota Sienna. With the rare distinction of being the only minivan offered with all-wheel drive the Sienna is a supremely practical all-weather conveyance with seating for up to 8 passengers, a thoughtfully arranged interior, and a range of family-friendly features.

I cannot believe that a minivan review can be so entertaining. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
I love that you guys add humor to your review!
This is actually more practical for a family than an SUV , i cant understand why minivans demand is declining
because people hate minivans and wagons, but flock to CUVs which are secretly vans and wagons
Self image is a touchy thing for American families.
It looks cheap in person. Too much plastic.
because in general most people have a herd mentality. They want to be cool by being like everyone else! LOL
Same reason why we don't bonk ugly women, same components and all but she has to look good :D
This was way better than I expected from a KBB review, great info and humor! Love that you guys point out that ego is really the only thing keeping most people from buying a MV if they want a legit third-row vehicle.
Thanks, Lynx! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love my 2018 Toyota Sienna XLE. All those complaints about it, I don't have. Cocoa is garage kept and very well maintained. I had no problem removing the seats. No problem putting them back in. Road trip!
My dad love his 2023 Toyota Sienna XSE
Love how the review is both entertaining and informative at the same time.
You reviewers are the best. Cracking me up every time I watch any of the KBB videos!
Rarely is a review informative, entertaining and dead honest. Thx Micah
The best car reviews in the business. Loved the training montage.
Only AWD in its segment, big winner for me. Who cares about looks it's a mini van no matter.
pacifica has AWD
Andre Mcbreairty Do some more research.
You are talking about the older chrysler pacifica suv, we are talking about the new pacifica van.
The only mini van offering AWD currently is the Toyota Sienna.
Wrong.
It's easy to make an interesting super/hyper- car video. Making an interesting minivan video however... that's just a different league! Well done guys!
Never cared or liked mini vans but I'll watch the video just because....KBB
Aparna Barua haha saw you on carwow too
Junayd A.A Ayyyeee I'm every wheeeaa
Aparna Barua well unlike you I was here for the van, there's this video called "5 Minivans that would Embarrass your Sports car" and this van was in it, but tbh I kept watching this review because of KBB😅
Aparna Barua that’s what I was just thinking about. Just bought my wife a mini van. Not in the market for another- but I just love the kbb reviews!
I am huge car enthusiast, and I think the Mini Vans are very cool. I would get one over Crossover if I had a family. Sienna has a lot of power, and feel luxurious. I drove one with 200,000 miles, and it felt like it was brand new from a dealer.
Guy does his own music as well. Getting close to being... the most intradasting man in the world.
Best way to explain minivans are just SUVs that do the job better without the ego.
Yup!
I’d buy it. I really don’t give a damn what a new car looks like, if I’m gonna be inside the thing when I drive it, I’d rather have a nice interior.
Jank Paul the honda odyssey seems like a better choice than this one
Too much plastic
The most fun Minivan review on RUclips!
Check out Doug DeMuro's review of the Odyssey for an even funnier one:

Haha we own a '17 Sienna SE just like this one and LOVE IT! That thing is so comfortable, so much better than the Odyssey. I can't tell you the cars that think they can take me at the light and I just smoke them, this is no slouch in the speed department. We usually drive around with the 3rd row down and just leave the stroller and stuff in the back, excellent van all around! We tried 3 SUVs before hand but the Sienna blew them all around in room and comfort.
Makes sense.
Why is it better than the Honda? I’m having trouble deciding between the two.
What is your definition of better? If you are interested in long term reliability then Toyotas can rarely be beaten. If you want a minivan that drives like a car then try the Honda. If you are just leasing for a couple of years then take a walk on the wild side with the Chrysler Pacifica which also comes as a Hybrid. It is your money, what is your priority?
I guess Honda Oddysey, look more stunning, and look sporty as well..
Sienna is sitting on Camry chassis and The Odyssey is sitting on the Pilot and/or MDX chassis, which is safer than a Camry chassis. The Odyssey is lowered than Sienna as well and therefore, it is riding much smoother and sportier.
If u are single, you can also buy this to live in.
I do. I sleep in it at night.
I Use it for lots of groceries.
im not a bum
@@forestgirl4071 Already measuring for my REI adjustable sleeping bed kot!
My thoughts exactly!!!
I own a Siena with the 8 seats and love it! I think it looks cool actually.
The other guy is just as hilarious as Micah...his cameos are always welcome
Doug DeMuro is funnier with his reviews.
This guy is hysterical!! Love it!!
I'm a unrepentant mini van owner, and I'm browsing....but This guy is the best!!
I've owned a Sienna. Took it on a West Coast to East Coast road trip. It was a very pleasurable ride
That 80's workout montage, excellent
Micah's reviews are the bomb diggity.
I like this guy because he adds humor.
This is the best car review I have ever seen!
Love my 2018 Sienna. Grandkids love the movie screen! Great review. Thanks!
I feel like the Odyssey has been redesigned 3x since this one was
matt k Don’t fix what’s not broken
It really is dated, there's cheap materials in the cabin and the style makes it seem like a decade old.
This Sienna still rides on a platform introduced for the 2007 Toyota Camry. The Camry we have now is, what, 2 generations ahead while this van is still stuck in the mid-2000s? lol the Odyssey will curbstomp this shitty old van.
There are cheaper materials on an Odyssey, and they skimp on paint.
The Odyssey can't hold up to the reliability and build of a Sienna.
Two thumbs up for the Bishop knife-trick in the back. Amazing.
I spent all of my time running the streets where you guys film...it makes me sad when i watch on a day off to be reminded of the hell i must go back too lol
Amazing review! Love the humor. Think I’m gonna get this car!
Almost indestructable! I didn't like them till I started driving railroad crews around in "offroad" conditions! Now this will be my next vehicle! 😲😉😁👍
Way funnier than it needed to be. Thanks! 👍
Love KBB reviews; although I’m sure some people don’t get or appreciate Micah’s humor.
I’m in the market for a minivan right now; like the Pacifica styling and Odyssey functionality, but the AWD system is a winner for me. We get snow and ice where I live; I’d feel better knowing my wife is driving the kids in an AWD vehicle. Perceived peace of mind, of course.
I actually loved this review...great job dude!
This is it, I hope to find one on my car search....Thank you for the help.
My next minivan
hiep tan | did you get it?
Finally a refreshed exterior
Live Count Central Semi
Great review as always!
The facelift looks good! Pacifica is practical, Honda is so comfortable, and siennas is pretty. Hard to choose but Pacifica is the best!
I love the looks of the new Pacifica and love the "stow and go" features....but based on the fact I keep and drive my cars/vans for a long time and a lot of miles....that eliminates Chrysler as an option for me. Reliability is more important to me than looks/options/pricing. I work for one of the largest auto warranty underwriters and administrators in the country (vehicle service contract provider) and the fact is, Toyota and Honda are just much less likely to fail than their American counterparts. Sucks, but it's an actuarial fact. Now, as a buyer, if you're in and out of autos every 3-5 years and stay under 90k miles or so.....you're probably "ok" with any of them, but if you're like my family that keeps cars up to the very high mileages....you'll regret buying American.
Pacifica sucks. They do not have the reliability of Toyota. Chrysler/Fiat was rated the worst in reliability by JD Powers. Chryslers won't make it past 100,000 miles.
Got 1999 sienna and still love it.
You're hilarious and cute to boot and the perfect spokes person for this here mini van. I'm sold.
Only you guys can make a minivan review fun to watch. I liked the training montage followed by the arm wrestling challenge. It would have been funnier if you used the Rocky music.
So it’s 2:47 am on a Friday night(Saturday morning) & me being a single 33 year old guy I’m on RUclips watching a minivan review on my phone, in my apartment while eating pizza with the tv on mute. What is wrong with me? 🤔
One of the sleeper minivans 😅 Great review!
When you mentioned those 300+HP , the wheel spin ... we could be talking about my next dream car :D
Thumbs up for the final line. YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY WHAT YOU DRIVE. Also, minivans kind of kick ass.
“This care doesn’t have it” sign. 😂😂 My work has these vans, maybe 2017 models. They GOOOO... I’m not shocked it’s listed as having almost 300 hp, but now it’s get up and go makes sense. 😎
Unquestionably the best van ever made
0:52 missed opportunity for Head shoulder knees and toes joke
What was Toyota thinking when they added that grille?
Justin David
Smoking some good chit no doubt.😁
they were thinking of the corolla
Heyu Yoma the nose reminds me of the Infiniti SUV.
They hired the guy who design Aztec
It’s hideous it look better before
I have a family and looking to get a minivan soon cause my subaru impreza is too small for everybody especially stuff we need when go somewhere and this is the best minivan for me so far.. awd is a plus
I think this car is beautiful and functional. It would be my car in the USA. I had the opportunity to drive the Dodge Gran Caravan RT when I was there, I really enjoyed it, but I think the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odissey look better. Nice car.
I’m more a Suburban or Sports car kinda guy but I’m falling in love with minivans specifically hybrid minivans cause your getting 40 plus miles on a 8 seater that’s fantastic if you ask me
good van but badly in need of an interior redesign. Exterior needs work too.
Really nice mini van I like it allot. I would love to have one for my family.
The arm wrestling segment was hilarious
Love our Toyota Sienna, so we will upgrade to nothing else but a new Sienna. :)
That's great, Maidoua! Glad you love your Sienna!
This van has aged well. Still looks fresh.
just took a test drive today on a siena L...not technology at all but we really liked
it..tomorrow am gone try the odyssey...
The Honda Odyssey does not have front illuminated cupholders and illuminated storage or windshield wiper de-icers like the Sienna.
These guys should be required to review all vehicles
Much awaited van.
At 0:53 it is not head shoulders and hips. It is HEAD SHOULDERS KNEES AND TOES
I have never owned an SUV or a minivan before, and I don't understand the hate on this one. Could you guys share your opinions why you hate this vehicle that much and what other SUV or Minivan would you recommend?
I love the sienna, styling included. The awd works well.
Toyota rocks in resale value and reliability worldwide
Looking forward to see one of these in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
I'm this ' ' close to buying one again. I had a 2006 that I had for 8 years and 336k miles. Not even light bulb went out in it. Sure I did the basic maintenance along with water pump change at 160 k, spark plugs, belt, hoses, battery (or did it have a chain? I forgot) etc. That was by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. I have a 2009 Lexus RX350 & Lexus IS350 that's giving me more problems then that Sienna. It's a hauler, camping sleeper, people mover and long haul swaggon.
So looking to "upgrade" I recently took a look at the Lexus GX 460. What a JOKE that vehicle is. For the privilege of owning a $60k luxury badge you get to literally crawl as in climb over the second row of seats to get to the third row.
Unbelievable. I'll pass.
Just bought a 2019 SE which is pretty much still the same (shocking I know). I ruled out the Chrysler by taking a quick look at their message boards. The amount of problems with that Van is very disconcerting. I previously had a 2005 Odyssey and had quite a few expensive issues with it (motor mounts, sliding door failure, suspension failures, power steering failure, A/C died, have to replace the rear liftgate struts every few months etc). There are lots of unhappy owners with the newer ones - major transmission issues, weak A/C, sliding doors. I judged the Toyota was going to be the more reliable choice for long term ownership. They stuffed quite a bit of tech into the older packaging. The Toyota message boards complain about minor things like lack of adjustable arm rests instead of being stranded on the side of the road because the engine died (i am looking at you pacifica).
Facts (looks at the Chrysler) lol
Sienna and Sienta just like Family
I'm pretty annoyed that I find myself in the market for a freakin mini van, but this video made it fun. :)
If my neighbour bought this swagger vagon, I personally would be impressed!
I currently own a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan and really like the new Chrysler Pacifica. But I’m seriously tempted by the new sienna. I’m just concerned it won’t drive as well. Which is a big deal for me. I know it’s a minivan but I love the way my dodge drives
this van looks awesome
I have a 2000 Nissan Quest and it runs really well and I have had it for 16 year the only thing is it’s missing a gps
Dude that was super rad
"and available rear sunshades, so you will never have to explain about that bright fairy orb in the sky to your kids" LOL !
Eww, lmao. The Camry looks so good, what happened to the front of this? The Sienna badly needs a full redesign.
Sean Mangubat it’s an old design. They’ve just been modifying the front of the car. They haven’t done anything to back ever since it was updated like in 2009
I think it looks nice.
You guys are goofy. Love it.
Is the transmission a ZF unit like the one the camry uses?
I guess you need to put a couple of 2x4s in the back when you go to Home Depot to get 4x8s of sheetrock or plywood, because of those latches that jut up.
It’s pity that JDM Alphard/Vellfire doesn’t go to North America. Those cars definitely make you as VIP guest in middle seats
This would look so much better if they put effort into the outer design no wonder my mom bought the 2015 sienna
This review was fucking epic. 11/10
Thanks, Bob 😎
Anybody have problems with the seat tracks on the Sienna? Living in Wisconsin with kids, you get food, dirt, salt and sand on the floor. Trying to buy a minvan, but I kept leaning towards an Odyssey because of it. Use to own 99 Odyssey and 2007 Odyssey. Odyssey's ride quality isn't that comfy, but I have always liked Honda's interior.
Hi guys how much the price of this New sienna thanks 🎉
Here we go again,the Toyota haters reviewing another Toyota video.These guys bash the company every chance they get but yet still review their products.
Love this video.
Who is this dude? He's funny as hell.
I love the video can you guys make a Honda fit facelift thank you
The only reason I would get this is for its AWD.
I drove my Sienna FWD on a decent snow storm last year from Salem Oregon to San Juan Island in WA I was very impressed how well it handled on the snow. I highly recommend the SE Premium and if you can find a AWD it’s a plus. The only thing I hate is the stupid round reflectors in the back that only come on the SE trims.
I guess the LE AWD is the most desirable van according a salesman at my local dealership. LE is the trim they sell the most and he told me people go distances to pick one.
I can't see enough value in AWD to sacrifice fuel economy for it (which costs you more $$$ over time AND more $$$ up front to buy). Front wheel drive minivans are surprising capable in snow (I've never had an issue in my Odyssey's and we go skiing every Feb) and I doubt anyone is using a minivan to go "off road"....so AWD seems a bit unneeded, imo.
I disagree. They are very common here in California, where it doesn't snow. People need AWD to go up to ski at Lake Tahoe/Reno. Also, you can just buy a spare and replace the run-flats with regular tires.
I was told the XLE trim is the most popular and has the most value. The LE lacks a moonroof, power liftgate, leather, Driver EasySpeak, blind spot monitor, and rear parking sonar.
If Chrysler EVER licensees “Stow & Go” to Toyota, I’ll possibly consider going deeper into debt to buy a Sienna with that back saving feature!(Loved the Pacifica, but the Fiat Chrysler folks wanted more than I wanted to pay).
When the last redesign of the Sienna. I know that the refresh happened 2017 or 2018. I guess the last redesign was 2011 or 2012
"automatic" high beams? do they automatically switch on when no cars are in front of you?
Yes if you are going faster than 32 mph and no cars are coming towards you. Honda has that feature too on the EX and above.
Cadillac had it like 40 years ago believe it or not! Craziness
Very nice. Also, new challenge, every time Micah says Honda or Handa, press that gosh darn mute button!
Where's Zach?!
Why is the Sienna the only awd minivan?
love it so much
