TORONTO, ON – August 22, 2018 – What are you waiting for? The 2019 Toyota Sienna – the official van of family fun – is ready to go. Sienna offers a choice of power-trains – including the only all-wheel drive minivan models in Canada – plus the advanced safety technologies of Toyota Safety Sense P as standard equipment, and a long list of convenience and comfort features that make every road trip a welcome adventure. New for 2019, the sporty and stylish SE grade is now also available with all-wheel drive. In addition, Apple CarPlay joins Entune as standard gear on all models, making the Sienna a rolling connectivity centre.
“Minivans have a reputation for being boring – but the Sienna is anything but,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “From its bold styling and impressive comfort, to its surprising performance, the Sienna is ready for road trips, luggage, sports gear, carpooling, small business cargo, and anything else Canadians can imagine. And as Canada’s only minivan with available all-wheel-drive, Sienna delivers tremendous safety, too.”
The difference is immediately apparent, at curbside. Sienna’s styling includes a bold front fascia, a profile defined by sharp character lines, sliding doors on both sides, alloy wheels, power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors and a rear spoiler.
Inside, the cabin is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of glass to let in the light and make Sienna feel airy and open. There’s room for seven or eight adults – depending on model – and four anchors for child safety seats. Even with every seat in use, there’s still plenty of space for everybody’s suitcases, too. A long list of comfort and convenience features standard to all models includes three-zone independent climate control, front row captain’s seats, one-touch 60/40 split and stow third-row seat, ECO indicator, outside temperature gauge, power door locks with keyless entry, a conversation mirror, power windows with auto up/down on all windows, rear privacy glass, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and voice recognition controls, tilting/telescoping steering column, plenty of thoughtful in-cabin storage, three 12v power outlets for personal electronics and retained accessory power, cruise control, cargo area tie-down rings and shopping bag hooks.
Eight person models feature a 40/20/40 split second-row seat with removable centre stow seat/console, while seven person models are fitted with a pair of captain’s seats in the second row.
New for 2019, all Sienna models are standard equipped with Apple CarPlay, which seamlessly connects an iPhone to the car’s built-in display. This feature joins Entune 3.0 Audio to create a minivan that’s also an impressive connectivity centre – with access to traffic information, weather, Slacker, Yelp, sports and stock market results, fuel prices and more, plus Scout GPS Link smartphone-based navigation tools. LE and SE grades include Entune 3.0 Plus: In addition to Scout GPS Link and Entune App Suite Connect, this adds Entune Safety Connect with automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle locator, emergency assistance button and enhanced roadside assistance. XLE and Limited grades feature Entune 3.0 Premium Audio: This includes all the features found in Entune 3.0 Plus, but replaces Scout GPS Link with Embedded Navigation and adds Entune Destination Assist.
Under the hood, all Sienna models are built around a 296 horsepower 3.5L six-cylinder engine enhanced with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence and other systems to boost power across a broad range of engine speeds. This is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque converter for smooth, confident acceleration and optimized fuel efficiency. Electric power steering is responsive and efficient, while an independent front suspension and torsion beam type rear suspension provide a smooth ride and engaging road feedback. All-wheel-drive models ride on run-flat tires. For 2019, XLE AWD and Limited AWD models have been upgraded to include a towing package with a 1,585 kg (3,500 lb) rating.
As popular people haulers, safety is often top of mind when buying a minivan – and with the 2019 Sienna, peace of mind is built in. Every Sienna is standard equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P. This bundle of active safety technologies – including the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control – enhances driver capabilities to mitigate collisions, stay in lane, and see at night. Other safety technologies standard on all Sienna models include the Toyota Star Safety System, eight airbags, active front headrests with whiplash protection, a back-up camera, a tire pressure monitoring system, and more.
