Hip-hop and minivans do not usually mix, but Toyota got laughs and accolades for its 2010 music video when it introduced the 2011 Sienna "Swagger Wagon", and now that the Sienna's been refreshed, they've enlisted Busta Rhymes for a new "Swagger Wagon" video:
Call me old school, but I preferred the original video. The 2015 Sienna, on the other hand, is much improved.
The 2015 Toyota Sienna SE. |
The SE's base price is $34,900. But our test Toyota was the SE Premium, which starts at $39,680. Choosing the Premium trim gets you color-keyed heated outside mirrors with blind spot warning indicators and rear cross-traffic alert (optional on the standard SE), chrome-accented door handles with touch-sensitive lock/unlock (not available on the standard SE), a moonroof (optional on the standard SE), an ugraded Entune premium audio system with navigation (optional on the standard SE), the Entune app suite (optional on the standard SE), a dual-screen Blu-Ray rear seat entertainment system (not available on the standard SE), leather-trimmed seating (not available on the standard SE) and Driver Easy Speak (available as an option and more about which later).
Why not just spend the extra $1,970 and get the Limited, which has all of the above? Because the Limited has captain's chairs in the middle row. It only seats 7. If you need seating for 8 and want that level of equipment, the SE Premium is the one for you.

Our test vehicle had only three options, roof rack cross bars ($185), wireless headphones ($55) and a security system ($359). With 885 delivery, processing and handling fee, the as-tested price was $41,164. It is a heavy refresh, not an all-new Sienna, but it has helped to give Toyota some of its swagger back.
