The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
A new player in the minivan market.
By Marcia Ruff, NewCarTestDrive.com
What's not to like? The Sienna is a minivan that meets all the performance and function standards in the marketplace, and it's made by Toyota here in the USA. The Sienna lacks a few gee-whiz features that can be found on some of its competitors, notably the rear audio jacks on the Ford and GM models that let you and your kids enjoy separate music, and the OnStar navigation and emergency service package that can be ordered with GM minivans. In the Sienna's favor, though, is Toyota's reputation for superior quality and reliability, high resale value, and excellent crashworthiness. Probably the only real drawback buyers can expect will be at the dealership where the Sienna's limited availability--and likely popularity--will cut down significantly on wheeling and dealing. |
|
Overview:
|
Sometimes it pays to come late to the party. After years of lingering on the sidelines of the minivan market with the innovative but uncompetitive Previa, Toyota is finally stepping onto the main floor with the all-new Sienna. During these years, Toyota had a chance to study the competition. It took the best minivan ideas out there and executed them well in its handsome new Sienna. Selecting a Sienna is simple: It comes in one length with one powertrain, a powerful V6 mated to a smooth four-speed automatic. Beyond that, it comes with all the best features pioneered by the leaders in the minivan market: It offers the two sliding doors, a feature popularized by Chrysler. It has the modular seats and optional power sliding door that General Motors contributed to the formula. And it has the good crashworthiness and car-like ride and handling that distinguish the Ford Windstar. Put the Toyota name on such an intelligent package and you have a instant member of the minivan A-list. The Sienna hasn't invented any new dance steps, but it handles the old standards smoothly.
