A van for all seasons – and all reasons: the 2017 Toyota Sienna

(TORONTO, ON – October 5, 2016) Whether it’s a family-sized summer road trip or the weekly routine of errands and after school activities, the Toyota Sienna does it all and makes it better – with big style and generous amenities, plus an easy-driving attitude and a new engine/transmission combination for 2017.

“The Sienna proves that a minivan can deliver huge helpings of comfort and style – making it a popular choice for Canadian families on the move, all year round, and the recipient of a 2016 Today’s Parent Approved seal from Today’s Parent magazine,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice-President, Toyota Canada Inc. “For 2017, a new powertrain delivers more driving fun, joining an already impressive list of intuitive and convenient features and technologies.”

New for 2017, all Toyota Sienna models are upgraded with a new, 3.5L V6 featuring D-4S Direct and Port Injection, plus a new Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 296 peak horsepower (up 30 hp from the previous configuration) and more torque – plus better fuel efficiency (10.9L/100km (FWD) city/highway combined) and smoother shifts.

Bold exterior styling features plenty of windows to create a spacious, modern interior maximized by the available dual power moon roof. The Sienna is available in seven- or eight-passenger models that are easy to reconfigure for carrying people or an impressive amount of cargo.

A choice of six models includes two with the extra all-weather confidence of all-wheel-drive, while several available upgrade packages and mobility configurations allow Canadians to choose the perfect Sienna for their lifestyle.

The Toyota Sienna is available in the following models:

• 2017 Toyota Sienna 7-Passenger (Starting MSRP: $33,420).

• 2017 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger (Starting MSRP: $36,745).

• 2017 Toyota Sienna LE AWD 7-Passenger (Starting MSRP: $39,580).

Every Sienna is equipped with an extensive list of standard features, including touchscreen audio with Bluetooth capability, steering wheel mounted audio and voice recognition controls, SIRI Eyes Free mode, three-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows and door locks, and more. In addition to the dual power moon roof, other available enhancements include navigation, an upgraded JBL audio system, integrated XM Satellite Radio, Dual-View Blu-ray entertainment system, the Driver Easy Speak system, and more.

Available safety technologies include Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, and more.
