2015 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD {Car Review} @DriveShopUSA @Toyota #Toyota

I received this car for one week to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Last year I got the chance to drive a Toyota Sienna and while it was amazing, it was awesome to check out one that was even more loaded. I got to drive around a 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD for the week and I fell in love with it. I honestly begged my husband everyday to upgrade our minivan to this model but no such luck for us right now.

Features I loved:

Very sleek design – It is not boxy but rather very smooth and sleek all around.

Steering Wheel Buttons – This is coming to be pretty standard but I love that I don’t have to take my hands off to touch the screen to change simple things like the phone or stereo.

AWD – While I didn’t get to try this out with snow when I had it, I love that it was available. My current vehicle is front-wheel drive and I have fishtailed before, but my previous SUV was AWD and it was amazing. I have never heard of a minivan offering AWD before so this was something that popped out at me.

Star Safety System: Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brake System, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Brake Assist & Smart Stop Technology. Yeah for lots of safety features!

Lots of airbags throughout the vehicle – I think there were eight from the front to the sides.

LATCH system for carseats – This seems to be pretty standard these days but it is an option I appreciate having a child in a carseat still.

Blind Spot Monitoring – The side mirrors light up when a car is in your blind spot. Its a small feature but one that could save your from an accident.

7″ Touch Screen – This controls for stereo, heat, navigation and more apps – This is probably my favorite design so far for a car touch screen. It is very sleek and modern. Everything is controlled in one spot. You can even control the DVD player there which was super nice as in my current vehicle I have to reach behind me to push buttons.

DVD/Blu-ray Player – This is a must for us since we travel so much to visit family. The screen is huge as well which made it easy for my three kids to view it.

USB and Power Outlets – This is a must for my family as well as we all have devices we are constantly charging. I love how the trunk even has some (great for kids in the back) as well as a regular outlet.

Lots of room – From the front to the back to the trunk, I found that we were not squeezed in and had lots of room. The seats can even come out easily or fold up to make extra room for transporting large items.

Easily Adjust Trunk – The rear seats have labels and are color coded so you know where to push and pull to adjust.

No lack of storage – I love that Toyota squeezes in space. This for me was where I put fragile groceries!

Overall, I had a great time driving around in the 2015 Toyota Sienna. It is one of my favorite cars so far, especially since its a minivan and fit the five of us comfortably with room for two more. It offered a smooth drive around town and I felt like I could whip around in it, even though it is not a small car! I definitely recommend checking out Toyota Sienna if your in the market for a minivan.
