It’s the minivan like you never imagined it: the 2013 Toyota Sienna combines comfort and style with plenty of choice in a vehicle tailored for busy families on the go

Enhanced standard features on popular models for 2013

(TORONTO, ON – August 21, 2012) Canadians are busy people with places to go, and when you need the flexibility to carry seven or eight people or a lot of cargo, there’s nothing like a minivan. Knowing that one size doesn’t fit all, Toyota offers maximum choice to drivers with the perennially-popular Sienna minivan.

“Choose an efficient four cylinder engine, or a powerful V6. Choose from seven or eight passenger configurations. Choose front wheel drive, or the added confidence of all wheel drive. With Sienna, the choice is yours,” said Tony Wearing, Senior Managing Director, Toyota Canada Inc. “No matter what you choose, every 2013 Toyota Sienna comes standard equipped with the functionality, comfort, convenience and style that busy Canadians demand.”

All Sienna minivans deliver performance and efficiency, plus Toyota’s commitment to quality and value.

 

Safety is always standard on a Toyota, so the Sienna features world-class protection, including a suite of seven airbags (dual-stage driver and front passenger, front seat mounted side, driver knee, and side curtain airbags spanning all three rows of seating) plus Active Front Headrests with Whiplash Protection and anchor points for child seats. As with every new Toyota since 2011, the 2013 Sienna is also standard equipped with the six active safety technologies of the Star Safety System: Antilock Braking System, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Smart Stop Technology work together to help drivers avoid potential accident situations.

Every Sienna includes a generous suite of standard features, including a 60/40 split, fold-down and stow-away 3^rd row bench seat, removable second-row seating, power door locks with keyless entry and key remind warning system, power windows with auto up/down function on all windows and rear privacy glass, cruise control, an eco-drive indicator, a tilting/telescoping steering column, dual sliding side doors, plenty of smart in-cabin storage, a tire pressure monitoring system, retained accessory power, locking glove box, dual power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, a conversation mirror, roof rails, splash guards, a rear spoiler, rear window wiper/washer system with de-icer, aluminum alloy wheels with locks, and more.
