When you’re buying a family vehicle, you’ll want to look for features that you can rely on for several years. If you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you should consider these four reasons why the 2017 Toyota Sienna should be your family’s next van.
A Fuel-Efficient Engine With Plenty of Power
Toyota has improved the Sienna’s 3.5-liter V6 engine, so you can expect the 2017 version to give you more horsepower than the 2016 model. While last year’s Sienna has an engine that could generate 266 horsepower, the new engine will give you 296 horsepower.
Despite the extra horsepower, the 2017 Sienna burns less gasoline than the 2016 version. With 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, you won’t have to stop very often to refill the tank.
Features to Keep Your Family Safe
Safety is one of the most important things to consider when you’re buying a new vehicle. Toyota has loaded the 2017 Sienna with features that will keep your family safe while you’re on the road.
Standard safety features for the Sienna include four LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) locations, child-protector rear door locks, a tire pressure monitoring system, and energy-absorbing crumble zones in the van’s front and rear.
Toyota also includes a one-year trial subscription to its Safety Connect system, which gives you access to a 24-hour response center, roadside assistance, automatic collision notification, and a stolen vehicle locator.
More Than Enough Room for Kids and Cargo
You need a van that’s big enough to give your kids plenty of room. Otherwise, you’ll have to tolerate them fighting with each other in the back seat while you try to focus on the road.
The Toyota Sienna has more than enough room for both kids and cargo. Depending on which version you buy, you get either seven or eight seats, which means you’ll have plenty of interior space, even when you’re hauling your kids’ friends around town.
When you need to carry a lot of cargo, fold down the seats to access the 87.1 cubic feet of space.
An Affordable Price
Toyota excels at making great vehicles that don’t cost a lot of money. The 2017 Sienna comes in five trim levels, so you can choose a version that matches your budget. The L trim starts at $29,750 MSRP. The next step up, LE, starts at $32,540. If you can afford a lot of extra features, consider either the XLE (starting at $42,145) or the Limited (starting at $42,800).
With so many options, practically every family can find a new Sienna that they can afford.
Now that the new Sienna has come to your local Toyota dealership, schedule an appointment to see it in person and take it for a test drive. Once you feel how comfortable the Sienna is, you’ll fall in love with it. You can even bring the whole family along to truly experience how the Sienna can make your life easier.
