With up to 150 cubic feet of cargo space, the Toyota Sienna has plenty
of room for storage. Which is good because it is acquiring a growing
load of hardware – and awards can be bulky!
The 2015 Sienna took home the Best in Class Minivan Award at the fifth
annual New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) Technology
Conference, organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
NEMPA.
Toyota’s award haul from the NEMPA conference includes the WheelsTV
Previously Owned Vehicle Award for the 2006-2012 RAV4, which was chosen
from a group of ten finalists. The RAV4, redesigned in 2013, has a
history of providing owners the comfort that has long been associated
with Toyota vehicles. It was one of the first small SUVs and remains a
leader in the intensely competitive compact crossover segment.
This year’s conference focused on green vehicle technology and included a
panel of experts who examined fuel economy, emissions reduction, and
innovation in green vehicle technologies beyond tax rebates, mandates
and the pressure of high oil and gas prices. Robert Wimmer, Director of
Energy & Environmental Research at Toyota Manufacturing North
America, shared details about Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell technology.
The 2015 Sienna holds true to its “Swagger Wagon” credentials. A more
stylish interior – including a more comfortable and entertaining cockpit
area, functional usage of cargo space and intelligent infotainment
system – makes everyone a VIP. The exterior is refreshed with a restyled
front grille and updated headlights and taillights. The Sienna is the
only minivan in its class to offer available All-Wheel Drive.
And with EPA-estimated 18/25 mpg (city/highway), the Sienna will get you
where you need to go – maybe even before someone in the back seat says,
“Are we there yet?”
