“The Toyota Sienna is the minivan that leaves ‘boring’ in the rear-view mirror,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “The new Nightshade Edition headlines Sienna’s bold styling – but all models deliver impressive comfort and surprising performance, making the Sienna ready for road trips, sports gear, carpooling, small business cargo, and anything else Canadians can imagine. And as Canada’s only minivan with available all-wheel-drive, Sienna delivers tremendous safety, too.”

The difference is immediately apparent, curbside. Sienna’s styling includes a bold front fascia, a profile defined by sharp character lines, sliding doors on both sides, alloy wheels, power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors and a rear spoiler. The new Nightshade Edition adds a striking finish to Sienna’s already stylish presence, with a series of exclusive black-shaded exterior details.

Inside, the cabin is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of glass to let in the light and make Sienna feel airy and open. There’s room for seven or eight adults – depending on model – and four anchors for child safety seats. Even with every seat in use, there’s still plenty of space for everybody’s gear. Eight-person models feature a 40/20/40 split second-row seat with removable centre stow seat/console, while seven-person models are fitted with a pair of captain’s seats in the second row.

The 2020 Sienna is also a technology showcase: Every model is standard equipped with Apple CarPlay™ and Connected Services by Toyota Audio with Scout® GPS Link smartphone-based navigation to create a minivan that’s also an impressive connectivity centre. LE and SE grades include Audio Plus. In addition to Scout® GPS Link and Apple CarPlay™ compatibility, this adds Safety Connect which provides you with access to a 24/7 Response Agent who can help you in times of need with services such as automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle locator, emergency assistance button and enhanced roadside assistance.

Under the hood, all Sienna models are built around a 296 horsepower 3.5L six-cylinder engine enhanced with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence to boost power across a broad range of engine speeds. This is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque converter for smooth, confident acceleration and optimized fuel efficiency. Electric power steering is responsive and efficient, while an independent front suspension and torsion beam type rear suspension provide a smooth ride and engaging road feedback. All-wheel-drive models ride on run-flat tires. Limited package on XLE AWD models also include a towing package with a 1,585 kg (3,500 lb) rating.

As popular people haulers, safety is often top of mind when buying a minivan – and with the 2020 Sienna peace of mind is built in, starting with Toyota Safety Sense P. Standard on every Sienna, this bundle of active safety technologies – including the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control – enhances driver capabilities to mitigate collisions, stay in lane, and see at night. Other safety technologies standard on all Sienna models include the Toyota Star Safety System, eight airbags, active front headrests with whiplash protection, a back-up camera, a tire pressure monitoring system and more.
