Toyota's 2021 Sienna hybrid proves minivans can be fun, not just practical
Toyota's 2021 Sienna hybrid is practically the perfect car for parents.
Toyota’s 2021 Sienna minivans will all be hybrids
Toyota's new, 2021 Sienna is notable for two reasons. In tandem, the 2021 Sienna produces a maximum of 243 horsepower, which is noticeably less than what you'd find in the current crop's naturally aspirated V6 engines. Toyota's answer to all of the above is "Sure, why not?"
Toyota brings Alexa and CarPlay to 2018 Camry and Sienna
Good news: you don't have to buy a brand new Toyota (or score a very lightly used model) just to get modern mobile conveniences. The automaker has announced that you can add Amazon Alexa and Apple CarPlay (sorry, no Android Auto) to the 2018 Camry and Sienna. If you're itching for an upgrade, you can book an appointment for an installation at a dealership. While this isn't going to be much consolation if you're driving another model, this could prove a treat if you've been kicking yourself for buying a Toyota a little too soon.
Toyota's next minivan will let you shout at your kids without turning around
In an early episode of The Simpsons, Homer is asked to design his dream car. The result is a monstrosity, with a separate soundproof dome for his kids to sit where they can be restrained and muzzled. Two decades later, and Toyota's latest vehicle will now let you scream at your kids without ever needing to turn around. The 2015 Sienna minivan uses the car's built-in microphone to amplify your speech through the rear speakers -- solving the very real problem of parents not paying attention to the road when the little ones are getting unruly. There's no word on if this feature will come across to other vehicles in the range, but it might go well with the kiddie-customizable Camatte that we saw a month back.
