The Toyota Sienna has received rave reviews since it was introduced in 1998. Over the past 17 years, Toyota Sienna has been successful in securing a large segment of the minivan market. But the growth of the overall market for this class of vehicles has been sluggish. In order to ignite renewed interest in the minivan, Toyota has completely overhauled the Sienna for its upcoming 2015 release. In fact, the Sienna has undergone a sleek, powerful, fuel efficient makeover, and now includes a multitude of family friendly safety features and modern technologies.
The 2015 Toyota Sienna has an updated exterior and interior design. Marrying family engagement with modern, upscale features makes the Sienna fit securely in the same category as the Camry, in terms of sophisticated styling and upgraded tech functionality.
The minivan is the center of the universe for busy modern families. Few things are more important to Toyota than safety and convenience. With this in mind, the 2015 Toyota Sienna now includes instrument gauges, a modified front and rear bumper, clear tail lights, available LED headlights and daytime running lights, an optional pull down mirror to view backseat passengers without turning around, an available navigation system, eight airbags, an optional panoramic back-up camera with virtual and regular views, and it comes standard with four anchored latch child car seats installed.
Another strategy of the newly redesigned 2015 Toyota Sienna is to increase the ease of use and increase connectivity. It was discovered that families want and need to be entertained; yet, they want to be able to receive information and communicate. The 7-inch Entune infotainment system effortlessly combines entertainment, communication, information and navigation.
The updated Sienna allows parents to reign in “disorderly” children in the rear of the vehicle, simply by speaking into a built-in microphone. The auto stream technology broadcasts voice commands directly into speakers located in the rear, allowing the driver to communicate with anyone in the passenger seats. This Driver Easy Speak is a new technology that doesn’t come standard; it is an optional or upgrade feature. Driver Easy Speak works in connection with multiple audio streams, such as music channels. There’s no need to manually adjust the volume to speak to passengers, when the microphone is activated, the 2015 Toyota Sienna automatically uses a logic ducking feature to lower the volume.
In addition, the redesigned 2015 Toyota Sienna now includes a sporty interior with an upgraded look and feel, for heighten levels of comfort and styling. The choice of interiors includes available soft-touch black leather with white contrast stitching. The instrument panel has been updated with a sleek symmetrical design; it is now flanked by the climate control display. Other interiors upgrades added to the redesigned Sienna are a USB system, and wireless platform and a Blu-ray DVD player and stereo television.
The 2015 Toyota Sienna is family focused and it features improved fuel efficiency with sports like handling. When redesigning the Sienna, Toyota wanted owners to have the ability to have a vehicle with increased styling and a higher level of fuel efficiency. This all comes together perfectly with the redesigned 2015 Toyota Sienna. As it comes standard with a 3.5 L V6 engine, but there’s also a gas/electric hybrid engine available, as an upgrade option. It is clear that the Toyota Sienna will move into a class of its own in 2015. Car buyers should pay close attention to the new and enhanced features.
