Built in partnership with B.A.D. Company, the V6-powered "Swagger Wagon Supreme" wears a coat of Blue Swagger Opal and been stretched 44 inches. Also, this Sienna now rides on 20-inch KMC rims that hide an airbag suspension setup to make it more comfortable and easier to drive on the open road (...).
Due to the 44-inch extension, the roof panel has been replaced with an acrylic unit measuring about 8 feet. The new roof is meant to improve the "functional family vehicle's" interior ambiance.
What Toyota avoids to emphasize is that, whereas the base version of the 2011 Sienna is powered by a 187HP 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, the entry-level 2010MY Sienna features a 266HP 3.5-liter V6...
Same goes for the 2011 Sienna LE that is said to start lower at $25,345, but it also comes with a four-banger unlike the 2010MY Sienna LE V6 which is priced at $26,065. If you opt for a V6 on the 2011 Sienna LE, you'll pay $28,900.
But anyway, the third generation minivan's prices top out at $39,770 for the Limited all-wheel-drive model with a 3.5-liter V6 generating 266 horsepower.
Both engines are matched with an electronically controlled six-speed transmission with the Japanese automaker announcing an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings of 19 mpg city / 26 mpg on the highway for the four cylinder model and 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway (AWD: 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway) for the V6.
Toyota said that the new Sienna will go on sale in the States in February with the arrival of V6-powered LE, XLE and Limited models, while the four-cylinder models will begin arriving at showrooms in April.
The third-generation Toyota Sienna minivan was officially revealed today at 2009 Los Angeles Auto show. The new model features a somewhat more aggressive design (note: key word here is 'more'...) that than its predecessor with many styling cues borrowed from the Toyota Venza - we'll leave you to decide if that's a good thing.The 2011 Sienna's seven- or eight-passenger configurable interior has been redesigned from the ground up and now boasts a more modern styling. Toyota claims that the interior is more than two inches longer, and that the seats now have longer ranges of travel, thus increasing passenger space and making it possible to accommodate a wider range of heights and sizes.
Furthermore, the new Sienna gets wider doors making it easier to enter or exit the vehicle.
A choice of two petrol engines will be available on the Sienna, including an entry-level 2.7-liter four cylinder unit that produces 187HP and returns EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings of 19 mpg city and 26 mpg on the highway, and a 3.5-liter V6 with 266HP that delivers 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
Each engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission while the V6 model is also offered with all-wheel drive.
The new Sienna will come in five grades, base, LE, XLE, Limited and the new "sporty" SE. The latter gets more aggressive looks with different side skirts, 19-inch alloy wheels, smoked lights, exclusive instrumentation and unique interior colors and trim plus a sportier tuned suspension.
The all-new 2011 Sienna will begin arriving at Toyota's U.S. dealerships in February 2010.
