You deserve more views for your review! Love your details to attentions and also the unbiased pros and cons for the car. My dealer told me 6-12 months wait, but I just received a surprise call to receiver our 2023 XLE Sienna in December. Keep on the good work!
I actually want to get something special like this green color, but they will be giving my family a black metallic. I can’t complain or else I won’t see the car until next year.
Thanks for your video. Many people don’t like minivans but the truth is they’re so utilitarian, versatile and comfortable for transporting people and long road trips. Sienna is great with the fuel efficiency/hybrid and AWD. One thing I wish the Sienna would offer is removable seats (like the Honda Odyssey), or stow-able into the floor (like the Chrysler Pacifica) for more versatility. The other thing is minivan prices have gone thru the roof these days (not just Toyotas) with MSRP prices around 45K-50K+… just insane.
I have a 2022 Sienna XLE AWD received December 24, 2021. My daughter drives it with her kids and loves it. The prior 2017 Sienna was totaled in a freeway accident, rear ended st high speed. We needed a replacement quickly. Most of the dealers in a 200 mile radius had 3 month waits, but one in a small town had several 2022s with AWD in the pioeline. Gets 35 mpg, only fill up every 6 weeks. The car has 18 inch wheels, and we were able to use 18 inch wheels from the 2017 Sienna to mount Blizzak winter tires and use them on the 2022. My daughter loves the space and versatility and she can use iPhone voice commands to ask for GPS directions.
Hey Brian, wife and I retired senior’s up graded from 2014 Senna to this year model 2022. Very ext, your illustrations of this van sold us from the odyssey, carnival. Gas mileage was important due to r travel plans. Thank you so much for your time. Tim
This is BY FAR the best car review I’ve ever seen. I’m having to get my used 22 XLE from out of town. This makes me feel so much better about what I’m getting. The options are not usually pointed out as add ons as apposed to a base XLE. Thank you for being so clear & thorough! But this is making me wish I’d found a green one. 😂
I retired at the end of May (this year) and I have wanted to buy a Sienna since I saw my first video about five months ago. I will probably wait until early next year, since I really want to pay cash and am hoping for at least a partial stock market rebound (wishful thinking?). I just wanted to say of the 25-30 videos I have watched on RUclips reviewing this vehicle, this one was the absolute best I have seen. Very well done. You have only reinforced my decision to purchase this beautiful minivan. I appreciate your efforts.
First off congrats on retirement! A whole new chapter begins for you! My hypothesis is the market will not improve until at least end of 2024 (I pray I am wrong) but that’s just an educated guess. Thank you so much for watching and for writing to me. This comment made my night and instilled even more motivation for the coming weeks when I prepare to film my next video. Thank you. I hope to hear from you when you get your Sienna!!
@@brianruperti you may be right. If you are I’ll just bite the bullet and do what I have to. I haven’t bought myself a new car since 2007. Way past time and it’s now a must that I do so. Thanks, again.
@@frankofva8803 I am in the same position as you, and also waiting to buy the Sienna. I have looked at the other vans and SUVs, but the Sienna really stands out with a comfortable ride (I sold my 2016 Sienna in Sept 2022), mpg, and with plenty of space for whatever comes up. I am waiting for a while longer, maybe March/April before I write the check…it is definitely too expensive, but we don’t live forever.
Loved the video. Didn’t realize the 17” wheels come stock on the XLE AWD model. Assumed that going with the AWD option automatically gets the 18” wheels. Thanks for making note of that! Also, loved the mention of the 4-way lumbar support 😊 Great video…the more I consider the Sienna, the more I am leaning toward the XLE w those 17” wheels…we already own a 2022 Highlander Platinum V-6 and the 22 Avalon Limited (V-6). Thinking of trading in our 14 Avalon Hybrid Limited for a Sienna…looks like it will have to be a 2023 at this point in time. Yes…we love us some Toyotas in our family. 😂
I love your review! You went into detail about everything - kept it engaging and informative. I am set to get one in a few weeks but it's FWD but I'll be switching to snow tires for the winter. Or else for the AWD - I would of have to wait a a year.
@@smrtguy77777 I live in MN, we get plenty of snow. THE FWD and regular stock tires have worked fine. It does take more time to get through things though.
Great in-depth informative video Brian! The new Sienna has grown on me! I do like the green color! The XLE is fine! The LE model is more than adequate in my opinion! All wheel drive is a definite plus! Our winters here can supply us with plenty of snow! We can get lake effect snows from Lake Michigan even though that’s 250 miles from us (greater Chicago)! Looking forward to seeing how well my Hybrid Camry does this winter! Have an awesome weekend! Mark in Iowa.
Thank you! Yes it’s become quite the van. You get that serious snow! The lakes are so powerful. Your Camry should be ok especially w some good tires. Have a great weekend as well! Cheers Mark 🙏🏼
Brian one great review . I only wish that we can find one “ New” most Toyota dealership s look like used car lots , sales people have turned into order takers not selling the vehicles. You are a great salesman.
Brian so glad but it is the truth . I have watched 20 hours of reviews on just the Sienna and you and the Car Car Nut are real standouts above anthem all . Thank You so much for your Excellent work.
Very nice presentation...actually one of the best I have seen out of hundreds! My wife finds the seat in our Highlander uncomfoortable unlike her Lexus. The last Sienna I owned the front seats were like living room chairs. I wonder what they are like now?
@@brianruperti My wife really dislikes our Highlander seats as I mentioned. However, I that Softex can be quite hot on your back. Is fabric or real leather available? Thank you Brian.
Fabric is standard on the LE grade and leather is on the Platinum grade. Many dealers do offer aftermarket leather as an option for an additional charge. Something to consider.
Very through and great review with crystal clear video. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work. I have been on a waiting list since July to get a hold of one of these beauties for a large family i have but no words from my local dealership yet. Please advice if you know of any dealership that can deliver it sooner. Thank you!
Ah! I never though of the ease of access for the repair/replace aspect of the wipers that are visible. Thanks for that reminder.... great review. This van looks appealing for a van. I just hate the fact there isn't a spare tire. Why?! I've seen so many issues with that!
Thanks for watching! Yes I tend to have that mentality a lot. It helps for sure since (years ago) I owned a VW where, for simple repairs, many items had to be removed and relocated just to replace and easy part. I agree 100% about the spare tire. I suspect there are a couple reasons: 1.) Weight savings (either for shipping, or fuel efficiency) spare tire is 60-80lbs 2.) Money savings for manufacturer. Less material used, less money spent. 3.) Sadly, most people don’t know how to SAFELY and properly replace a tire and with how crowded roads are becoming, many opt for having road side assistance do it anyway (even if they have a spare). All of this aside I still agree with you, because like you, I would be able to do it myself and would not want to wait 3 hours for roadside or whatever. But I honestly suspect Toyota’s reason is because it’s a hybrid. And with the absolute squeeze of weight saving on hybrids, that’s a great place to save. We started to see the trend when the Prius came with the tire repair kit. Hope this gives some insight!
Great review! One question: the hybrid Sienna is rated for towing at 3500lbs. Can you comment on its capability? CVT transmissions are not rated the best for towing. thanks
We are Toyota fans. Still are. We have owned 3 Siennas (99, 08, 15) and loved them all. We test drove the 22 model and it was No Bueno. This thing sounded like a food disposal. It was loud and really a disappointment. We loved the previous generations V6. 36 MPG is great but I can’t see this van carrying a full load. We tried the 22 Odyssey and loved it. It is powerful and handles amazingly well. We are still a Toyota family but this new Odyssey is pretty sweet.
1x(11/15/22)…..4:00….7:00…. 10:00….15:00…….19:00….23:00….31:00….38:00….I thought the battery was under the front seat, you said it was in back. How come a spare tire is hard to get, when it is just a tire and rim with no chips. First time I saw the 5 different ways to open the sliding door. Many 12 Volt products still available, glad they gave us at least one 12 volt (of course the Platinum trim level can have two-120 volt, 1500 watt outlets). Battery over 70. I don’t think the phone charges when plugging into Apple Play
I like almost everything about the 2023 Toyota Sienna XLE accept I think Toyota should make an effort to include TSS 3.0. How can a 2023 model come only with an outdated Toyota Safety Sense 2.0? Come on Toyota!!
Could you please put all main specs of the model IN WORDS right under the video description!!!! It will be extremely helpful, useful and informative...
Newbie question. Those buttons for the sliding door. Will it automatically disabled when your driving? Or can you manually disable it? You know for kids just in case they accidentally kick it or whatever. 😅
Great question actually. When driving it will not let you open the doors. It has to be in park. However I have not tested this when the power door option is off. You’ll notice when you are out of park, if someone selects the door open button, including the driver, there will be a fast double beep, indicating the Sienna will not let you do that. Hope that helps! But like I said, not sure if they can be opened when the power door option it turned off.
I have always preferred odyssey over sienna just based on drive feel and looks. We got a new 2020 exl navi edition of odyssey. I did give toyota a chance though but didn't like the way it was driving. This one seems different maybe they redesigned around 2020 january.. the interior seems single and good just like our odyssey still don't like the third row seems weird with small windows and also exterior looks odyssey looks way better imo but if we knew about that 35 miles per gallon hybrid model then we might have chosen sienna definitely saves a lot of money overtime. Odyssey 2020 exl gives us around 24 average. Did they even have all wheel drive hybrid with 35 mpg in 2020 or I missed that? AWD with 35 average is definitely a big seller for me. fck looks if i get all that :D
I wish this color of cypress green came in the 2023 sienna in Canada. 🤷♂️😩…the waiting list in Canada is ridiculous. You can only get used ones and they are priced up about 5 to 10 thousand buck more. My purchase order has been made but I will probably be waiting a long time…🤷♂️🤦♀️🥶
I wish it was available in Europe. Highlander is awesome, but it lacks practicality of minivan. For some reason this segment is just totally absent in EU.
@@brianruperti accessing and cleaning/replacing them. Is it easy to do ourselves or is it done during regular checkups? What does the care tend to cost and how often should we check them? I love your videos, BTW! 🤗 I've learned things about my 2018 rav4 that I've had for almost 5 years (my first Toyota) and I'm generally decent at finding things out early on. Now I want a Sienna Hybrid SO bad!
…I’m guessing you’re assumes gas will be about $4/gallon. If gas goes to $10/gallon due to Joe Biden’s policies then it might be worth it over a van that gets 19/mph. Also depends if your not using it for business use. At $4.00/gallon you are correct
Uh, if you're driving 20,000 miles a year you're saving $1800 a year (gas at $4/gallon). If you're driving 10,000 miles a year, and gas is $3/gallon, you're saving $650 a year. Plus the residual value is obviously very high.
Why is Toyota having so many issues building these? I'm told the wait time is 6 months to a years wait. Numbers are way down from production in the past.

thanks
Thanks! I haven’t towed with it or received feedback yet but if Toyota says it can do it, then trust them!
We are Toyota fans. Still are. We have owned 3 Siennas (99, 08, 15) and loved them all. We test drove the 22 model and it was No Bueno. This thing sounded like a food disposal. It was loud and really a disappointment. We loved the previous generations V6. 36 MPG is great but I can’t see this van carrying a full load.

I do that for you by attaching links to the brochure and build page so you can see exactly every single spec :-)
The big fat rear end gave a huge head room and height to the van. More space to put things.
Toyota Sienna Is Good For Families.
No truer words have been spoken.
is there any inventory on these vans? my local dealer can't get their hands on them
seems like a great car
It’s tough for us as well

I love your videos, BTW! 🤗 I've learned things about my 2018 rav4 that I've had for almost 5 years (my first Toyota) and I'm generally decent at finding things out early on. Now I want a Sienna Hybrid SO bad!
The battery is under the front seats. Otherwise great review!
Yes I suspected that seeing the vents underneath with the filter inserts thanks for the updated info!
I edited my pinned comment so people can see. Thank you again
If you know about mini vans then you know
You're wearing your watch on the wrong side! Nice video though
Not the wrong side thank you for watching
…You remind me of the comedian Adam Corolla
😂
People are paying 10K more then the MSRP for a USED Sienna which will save $1500 on gas over next 5 years. Lol
😬
…I’m guessing you’re assumes gas will be about $4/gallon. If gas goes to $10/gallon due to Joe Biden’s policies then it might be worth it over a van that gets 19/mph. Also depends if your not using it for business use. At $4.00/gallon you are correct
Uh, if you're driving 20,000 miles a year you're saving $1800 a year (gas at $4/gallon).
If you're driving 10,000 miles a year, and gas is $3/gallon, you're saving $650 a year.
Plus the residual value is obviously very high.
Too expensive for Soccer-Mom minivan! No matter what! The devil is in the details with those hidden fake overpriced MSRP!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why is Toyota having so many issues building these? I'm told the wait time is 6 months to a years wait. Numbers are way down from production in the past.
Not sure. It’s very hard to get them now
first of all love those barefoot shoes you got 😎! second this van is dreamy!!!
Thanks! 😎
battery actually under front seats
Thank you
Dealers near me are chargin 50k near me for this....
Same

Too bad the XLE only comes with FWD in Canada.
Silly as Canada gets the snow!
Giant grill looks overdone.
Who said every one wants AWD 🤔
Did I? My apologies. They’re not all AWD. It’s an option.
I like honda Odessy V6. sienna is too slow.
Good for driving in cities. with 7 passengers fully loaded on a high way, it would be a disaster. It is very hard to speed up anymore after 65 mph.
Golly, I like to go a "bit" faster than that on some highways. Is it truly that bad?
Too bad it’s not V6. I want V6 better
