6 Things To Love About the 2021 Toyota Sienna

The minivan is on the move. Enter the all-new 2021 Toyota Sienna: sleek, smart and spacious. Thanks to its get-it-done personality and Toyota’s state-of-the-art hybrid system, the 2021 Sienna combines the thrill of an SUV with the ease and adaptability of van life. It’s hard to narrow down the list of sweet spots, but after taking the challenge, here are six top picks for things to love about the 2021 Sienna. The Sleekest Sienna Sienna drivers know why they bought a minivan. They’re looking for space and flexibility. But let’s also add style. The 2021 Toyota Sienna’s modern new look starts with a front inspired by Japan’s iconic Shinkansen bullet train. With a bold lower grille, sculpted tear-dropped body and integrated spoiler, the new minivan fits in an art gallery, as well as the garage. Cut the Clutter While the exterior is streamlined for peak efficiency, the Sienna’s interior makes the most of its cubic feet. Up front is an all-new bridge console, ergonomically positioned with space beneath to store items such as packages or electronics. Added bonus: the console features edges designed to prevent small items from slipping into narrow spaces. Look forward to less time spent digging between seats for dropped phones, keys or toys. Further de-cluttering of the cabin is achieved with the available Qi wireless charging capacity. Simply place any compatible phone on the docking station to avoid cumbersome cords. more You’ve Got Pull As spacious as the cabin of the Sienna is, it may not always fit quite everything you want to bring along. With a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds—enough for a small motorboat, a compact travel trailer or several bicycles—the Sienna helps you bring the goods. For even more flexibility, there’s an available 1,500-watt power inverter with up to 120-volts to power up compatible devices big and small. Go for Green Cool and crisp, exterior color Cypress comes standard on the 2021 Toyota Sienna LE, XLE, Limited and Platinum grades, making this a great time to try a new shade. The 2021 Toyota Sienna is also now the Family Green Car of the Year thanks to winning that category in the 2021 Green Car Awards™. With a standard hybrid powertrain across all trims and an array of new tech and amenities, the 2021 Toyota Sienna raises the bar for style, safety, comfort, versatility and fuel efficiency in its segment. A Maximalist Minivan As customers have come to expect, the Sienna comfortably fits seven riders. That number grows to eight with an available split-and-stow third-row center seat. Passengers in XLE, XSE, and Platinum Grade edition middle rows may feel as though they are lounging at home. Available captain’s chairs come equipped with a super-long slide feature and an ottoman to help passengers kick back and relax. If more space is needed, the third row folds down easily, creating more than 75 cubic feet of storage. That’s enough cargo to fit a few extra pieces of luggage with ease. Gaming the System With an EPA-estimated 36 combined mpg rating for the FWD model, Sienna drivers can cruise to their destinations with as few, or as many, breaks as desired. The 10-inch color display lets drivers know the optimal acceleration amount for eco-conscious driving, with a fun, game-like scoring function to test the operator’s touch. The Sienna delivers up to 243 horsepower through the Toyota Hybrid System II, with a noticeable kick at low-speed torque from the twin electric motors working in concert. For a powerful engine, it gives off a lot of quiet, a pleasure for drivers and passengers. For more information on the 2021 Sienna, click here.

4WD Toyota Owner Magazine Overland-Ready Tacoma Chases Adventure

Ultimate Outdoors “Go Anywhere Now” Lifestyle Rig Part of Toyota’s SEMA360 Showcase Toyota, a brand known for its deep off-roading roots and rugged durability, and its Tacoma mid-size pickup formed the perfect foundation for the 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine Overland-Ready Tacoma. Introduced today as part of Toyota’s 2020 SEMA360 Showcase, this Tacoma is ready to find places otherwise inaccessible to average vehicles. SEMA360 is the organization’s online program connecting the automotive aftermarket industry in a year that makes the traditional in-person SEMA Show impossible. Toyota is using a two-wave reveal plan, starting with four SEMA360 debuts with more builds breaking cover in the weeks following its SEMA360 presentation. more The Overland-Ready Tacoma, created by 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine, is the ultimate outdoor lifestyle rig featuring a slew of off-road performance upgrades that align with the Tacoma’s “go anywhere now” personality and the rising popularity of overlanding adventure. Overlanders leverage their vehicle as the key to their adventure to help push their journey forward. It is their basecamp and provides them the self-sufficiency and capability they need to get them to their destination and back. They are passionate about exploring the outdoors and are at the forefront of nature and getting to experience it all. “The word Overlanding may be a new word to some, but it’s become increasingly popular this year as more and more people are exploring roads off the beaten path with friends and family,” said Ed Laukes, group vice president – Toyota Division Marketing. “We were excited when the 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine editors shared their idea for this project, and we naturally thought it would be cool to include the build in our SEMA360 presentation.” The editors started with a Tacoma TRD Pro, teaming up with Ryan O’Connell and ShmellFab to create this build. Off-road upgrades include: ToyTec BOSS Aluma 2.5 Series coilovers, shocks and add-a-leaf package; Toyota E-locker locking differential; CBI Offroad Fabrication lower control arms, front to rear aluminum and steel skid plates, and DOM steel tube rock sliders with top plates and CBI’s ‘kickout’ design; Camburg Engineering upper control arms, and MaxTrax MKII traction boards. On the power side, the team added a Magnuson Superchargers Roots-type TVS1900 blower, increasing output to 370 horsepower and 330 lbs-ft of torque. Other components include: BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 255/85R16 tires mounted on 16×8-inch matte black 704 Trail Series from Method Race Wheels, CBI Offroad Fabrication T3 aluminum front bumper and T3 Swing Arm Series steel rear bumper with dual swingouts, a ComeUp SEAL Gen2 9.5rs winch, aluminum CBI Offroad Fabrication Prinsu Cab Rack fitted with a 40-inch SR Pro LED series light bar and four LED Scene Lights from Rigid Industries, a 20-inch Rigid Industries SR Pro light bar in the front bumper, a Truck Covers USA locking cargo bed cover and rack system, and a Yakima SkyLine bed rack. Finally, to ensure overlanding explorers have what they need for days off the grid, the editors fitted the Overland Tacoma with a PowerTank PT10 air compressor, a four-gallon Rotopax fuel storage container, a two-gallon Rotopax water storage container, a Hi-Lift jack, and a Yakima SkyRise cargo bed tent. While featuring an extensive list of upgrades, the 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine team is proud of the final outcome’s seamless design that perfectly melds all exterior components to ensure nothing looks out of place. All additions are premium upgrades that align with Toyota’s quality reputation, creating an outdoors lifestyle rig capable of carrying adventurers and all their gear and toys. Toyota also partnered with social media influencers chef Adam Glick and “Last Line of Defense” on YouTube to bring you some great content as they take the 4WD Overland-Ready Tacoma out on the road for an adventure. More coming soon.
