ACCELERATION
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 3.6 |
Seldom feels underpowered; our test model went 0-60 mph in a brisk 8.9 seconds.
FUEL ECONOMY
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 3.9 |
We averaged 19.4 mpg over 9100 miles in our long-term test Sienna. Premium fuel is recommended.
RIDE QUALITY
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 4.9 |
Bumps are absorbed with little impact, and there's minimal float or wallow over high-speed dips.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 4.3 |
Body lean in turns is pronounced, and there's some nose-heaviness on fast freeway on-ramps. Hard take-offs induce mild steering-wheel tug that highlights the lack of optional traction control.
QUIETNESS
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 4.5 |
Wind rush is louder than in some cars, but overall noise levels are subdued, making for relaxed highway travel.
CONTROLS
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 5.7 |
Most controls are convenient, except the low-set radio. And the available power rear-quarter windows operate together, not individually, which slightly limits their usefulness.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 6 |
Plenty of head and leg room, and a low floor offers easy entry/exit. The column-mount transmission lever allows full front-to-rear walkthrough.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 8 | 6.4 |
Second-row occupants lose valuable leg space with the seats ahead pushed back. Likewise the third row, though adults can be comfortable anywhere if no seats are fully aft.
CARGO ROOM
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 9 | 9.3 |
There's room for a double row of grocery bags behind the third seat, which tumble-folds for more space. But removing the heavy middle or rear seats is a 2-person job.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 6 | 5.8 |
Sienna performs well in every area required of a minivan while delivering better-than-expected power and economy. On the downside, the competitive base prices rise quickly if you add such desirable amenities as the power side door.
Total Score
| CL/LE | XLE | Class Average |

Total Score: 62
