[T]he 2011 Sienna takes most of its styling cues from the 2006 F3R concept. Up front the Sienna sport a face familiar to that seen on the Venza crossover, giving the minivan a more aggressive look than the outgoing model. Toyota engineers managed to hide the van’s sliding door tracks, allowing for a slicker overall look. The rear of the new Sienna is highlighted by LED taillights.

Sienna buyers will be able to choose between a 266 horsepower 3.5L V6 or the same 182 horsepower 2.7L four-cylinder currently used in the Venza crossover. Although the four-cylinder Sienna will hit the market a few months after the V6-powered models, Toyota says the four-pot version will offer up to 26 mpg, making it the most fuel efficient minivan in the segment. Both engines will come mated to a six-speed automatic.

All-wheel drive will be available on V6-equipped models, adding between $1,270 and $2,340, depending on trim-level.

The Sienna LE will be positioned as the base-model van and is expected to be the most popular model. Opting for the XLE trim level will add leather seating and a moon roof. The top-billing in the Sienna lineup will be the Limited model. A number of options will also be available, including a new 180 degree rear camera and a split-screen rear entertainment system.

For young buyers not looking to give up driving excitement, Toyota will offer a sport-oriented SE model. The SE model will feature a sport-tuned suspension, tuned steering, a unique front fascia with sport grille and 19-inch wheels, as well as a specially trimmed interior.
