Great video just one thing, At 3:20 it seems that you are implying that the KIA Carnival has AWD which it still does not offer on either its v6 or hybrid power trains in case anyone is confused!
I CHECKED TOYOTA OF ANAHEIM, THEY HAD 1 SIENNA, IT WAS 57 THOUSAND, 62K AFTER TAX AND LICENSE! LAST TIME I HAD OUR 2012 SIENNA SERVICED THERE THERE WERE NO SIENNAS. I AM PISSED AT TOYOTA.
A big plus was purchasing the extended service warranty. When i purchased my new Toyota limited all-wheel highlander 2019, I thought it was just an extra salesman's gimic but since then, I have used it multiple times with some major repair issues after standard manufacturers limited warranty...with the price of new vehicles these days, unaffordability is becoming more common
Non-removable middle seats, back seats don't fold flat, non-removable cup holder thing on floor between middle seats (I think), stupid console, ugly grille, no spare tire if AWD. Such a disappointment in usability for a fantastic drive-train with great efficiency.
We were long-term Toyota buyers until we went to buy a 2025 minivan. The second row seats not being removable was a deal breaker for us. We are going with the 2025 Kia Carnival.
Don't you love the people who say "how often do you do that?", or "just rent a truck".... yes because when I am far from home and I stop somewhere and see a large piece of furniture I want to buy... I am going to call up Enterprise and voila, a truck will appear! And yes... that scenario happens alot with me!
The main things that would prevent me from a Sienna.... You cannot remove the second row seats (unless you get out a socket set and unhook the side airbag connectors), which I do frequently in my Odyssey. I don't find the front seat adjustments to be enough. The driver's seat is supposed to be 8-way... but acts more like a 6-way. The passenger seat STILL has no height adjustment, even if on the top $60,000 Platinum trim. Inexcusable. They are purposely limiting production so dealers can rip people off. Toyota knows people will buy them all up, so they don't bother making any improvements.
Crazy how before covid. Sienna were plentiful heck most ppl weren't even buying them at all. Nowadays I hear the sienna is harder to get at times then a corvette 😂. This van is literally just a hybrid camry
We bought a Highlander Hybrid a couple years ago. Sorry we didn’t buy another Sienna instead. Still keeping our old Blue Sienna with 204,000 miles on it. She’s perfect.
What happens if you leave your dog in the back? How do you turn off the sensor? Also, you mentioned cargo space with 2nd row removed. I was told you can’t remove either second row seat as it would void the warranty. True?
Dropped Easy Speak this year. Sucks! Anyone who transports third row passengers will attest to the need. Still available with Honda Odyssey, however. At least the new Sienna has a built-in beer cooler and a vacuum not quite as good as the one at the car wash or the one in your garage, but no Easy Speak.
Sienna owners... what's the noise level like under freeway speed acceleration and/or when loaded with passenges and/or cargo? Other sources suggest that it's unbearable especially in the lower trims.
We just completed a 3 hour trip (mostly 70 mph freeway, and some stop and go city traffic). Very happy in our new 2025 Sienna. It takes some getting used to the 4-cylinder when under load (versus our older 2006 sienna 6 cylinder), but the overall design of the vehicle and interior seems wayyyy quieter than the old 2006! Had 5 adults in the vehicle with some gear 850 lbs max, plus 16 gallons of gas). Dealer installed trailer receiver (no ball hitch yet). NOTE: Went up an angled cement driveway from a city street = rear receiver scraped for a second. After dropping off 1 passenger + their gear, = no scraping when reversing back down to the street. Take angles and bumps carefully😢
The 101 cubic feet of space... About as useful as teats on a bull. How long, how wide, how tall? These are FAR MORE USEFUL than an arbitrary cubic footage number.
New 2025 Sienna mid-row seats (compared to my old 2006 model) are “not really removable”, so 101 cubit feet now versus the old 149 cubic feet because the new mid-row seat folds into a v-shaped and slides up against the front row seats (old 2006 could detach and take out the mid-row seats). Also, front row console between driver and passenger = prevents super long wood posts being transported inside on the floor with rear hatch closed. Have to lay seats flat and tie down…. So I had the dealer install a trailer receiver so we can add a trailer ball hitch in the future = for ease of transporting bicycles, and or rent a small trailer while helpings kids move to college, etc😢😂
Toyota Sienna is moving too slow comparing with chinese Zeekr 009 and Xpeng X9. I want Toyota Sienna compete with them not with Kia Carnival, Honda Odyssey...to make it the best minivan in the world!
Add my experience to the chorus on the lack of availability. In stock Siennas are unavailable in Arizona. The dealers that show them in stock don't actually have them on the lot when you call them. Disappointing and deceptive IMHO. We actually had a Toyota dealer ask us if we wanted to test drive a 2021 since that was the only late model Sienna they had.
@@PrettyGoodLookin I'm going to assume this is a serious question. The demand for Siennas is much more than the supply. At least here in Arizona, almost every Sienna is pre-sold before arriving at the dealer. Since this has been going on for years now, I can only assume it's a conscious decision on Toyota's part to maximize per unit profit.
Great video..pro tip..u know u r payong too much when they call the driver space a "cabin" haha. The icebox is awful and that screen is 1998 quality and u could buy an awesome laptop for the price of this and any vacuum for $30 will do the job and u r bound to lose the bits or the connector will break..stupid ideas and overpriced. Plus that new hybrid engine is not nearly as reliable as the old well tested v6.amd far more expensive to fix once the watranty is gone

Toyota makes the best 👌 cars but the dealership makes worst deals and they want to sell used cars
Toyota finally increased the size of the nav/info screen! Thanks for the review, Matt.

We have the same problem - the second row seats not being removable means we can't load a wheelchair through the side door.

2nd row CAN be removed by using an air bag emulator resistor
@@herc2120 Doesn't sound convenient. I remove one or both of the second row seats often. I love my 2025 Kia Carnival.
I would like to have a 12V DC socket right next to the 1500W AC Inverter. It’s very useful for portable fridges and other devices.

They have ruined so many sales by not allowing the 2nd row seats to be removed. How dumb !
Do the 2nd row ottomans come in the xle?

Heres the worst thing about the Sienna. YOU CAN'T GET ONE. And if you can by some miracle, you're paying a massive dealer markup.
Paid 1000 under msrp less than a week ago…
@@CheaaabrahThat was a small miracle!
It's a lot easier now you must not be doing ur research

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Sienna or Carnival?

Interior Passenger Sensors can be adjusted vis the multimedia display (or even turned off, say if you are at an outdoor movie).
@@scottrok13 Apparently there is a fake plug (dongle) you have to use to keep sensors quiet after unplugging.

Never heard anything about 3 WORST ❌ And 9 BEST ✅ ??
IT'S CALLED CLICK BAIT
Maybe it's because of 4 cylinders instead of 6.
With the entertainment package.. does rear mirror come as a camera? Because if the TV is down...u womt be able to see

It is quiet in the Limited trim.

Hi Great review. Can you do one on Suzuki XL7? 2025 or your honest comparison.
You mentioned 3 colors in the “woodland”. I’m aware of cement, black but what is the 3rd color?
dark green
@@daniellecorbett4995 It's about time Toyota realized that green goes more with "woodland" than cement or black...
Toyota Alphard junior
I like him, i subscribed
What do you mean the steering is light?
Probably meant power steering is easy on the hands when driving= a light touch. My new 2025 is easy to steer.
o drive 150000 miles
Sienna needs 4166 gallons
Odyssey need 6818 gallons
saves 2652 gallons
That's about 8000.00 dollars in 150000 miles
not bad.

@OmarMoney-n8i I have seen them, but think they are in china not in japan and it is restyling not made by manufacturer
