The 2014 Toyota Sienna continues to solidify its position as a top choice for families seeking a versatile, reliable, and feature-rich minivan. Known for being the only minivan in the US market offering available all-wheel drive (AWD), the 2014 Sienna enhances its appeal with expanded features and configurations designed to cater to the diverse needs of modern families. This model year sees the Blind Spot Monitor becoming a standalone option for the sporty SE trim, previously limited to option packages, while remaining standard on the luxurious Limited grade. With its powerful V6 engine, flexible seating arrangements, and a suite of technology and safety features, the 2014 Toyota Sienna is engineered to make family life easier and more enjoyable.
Under the hood, every 2014 Sienna is powered by a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 266 horsepower. This engine, coupled with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, delivers confident acceleration for merging onto highways and passing maneuvers. Despite its power, the front-wheel-drive (FWD) Sienna achieves an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, balancing performance with efficiency. For families needing extra traction, the available all-wheel-drive system provides enhanced stability and control in various weather conditions. Furthermore, the Tow Prep Package, now standard across all Sienna grades, enables a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds, adding to its practicality for family adventures.
The design of the 2014 Sienna prioritizes both aesthetics and functionality. Its sculpted exterior not only provides a strong visual presence but also contributes to aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind noise for a quieter cabin experience. Inside, the Sienna offers a refined and spacious environment, accommodating seven or eight passengers depending on the configuration. The dashboard’s sweeping design enhances the sense of spaciousness, while user-friendly controls for climate and audio are conveniently integrated into a central panel.
The 2014 Toyota Sienna is offered in a range of five distinct grades to suit different preferences and budgets: L, LE, SE, XLE, and Limited.
-
Sienna L: The entry-level L grade is value-packed with standard features including cruise control, daytime running lights, tri-zone air conditioning, and power windows and locks.
-
Sienna LE: Stepping up to the LE grade adds significant upgrades such as three-zone automatic climate control, power-sliding doors and liftgate, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and an enhanced audio system with SiriusXM® satellite radio capability and Bluetooth® connectivity. A rearview camera is also standard on the LE for added convenience and safety.
-
Sienna SE: The SE model injects sporty styling and driving dynamics into the minivan segment. It features a unique front fascia, side skirts, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a sport-tuned suspension for sharper handling. Smoked sport trim LED taillights and exclusive interior accents further distinguish the SE. The Blind Spot Monitor is available as a standalone option for the SE, enhancing its safety features.
-
Sienna XLE: The XLE grade elevates comfort and convenience with leather-trimmed seats, a tilt/slide moonroof, heated front seats, and an anti-theft system. Optional upgrades for the XLE include a JBL® premium sound system with navigation, rear-seat entertainment system, and rear parking sonar.
-
Sienna Limited: As the top-of-the-line model, the Sienna Limited offers a luxurious experience with features like second-row Lounge Seating, a power 60/40 Split & Stow third-row seat (on FWD models), front and rear parking sonar, Smart Key access for all doors, and Safety Connect™ telematics. Available options include HID headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and a Pre-Collision System.
Interior versatility is a hallmark of the 2014 Sienna. Both seven- and eight-passenger models offer flexible seating configurations to adapt to changing family needs. In seven-passenger models, the second-row captain’s chairs boast an extended slide range of 23 inches, maximizing legroom or facilitating access to the third row. Eight-passenger models include a removable second-row center seat that can be stowed to create a seven-passenger layout, revealing a convenient storage tray and cupholder. The third-row 60/40 Split & Stow seat folds flat easily, expanding cargo space significantly. With the third row in use, the Sienna still accommodates five golf bags or four large suitcases.
For family entertainment and connectivity, the Sienna offers the Entune™ Multimedia system on LE, SE, and XLE grades. This system provides access to a suite of mobile applications and data services, including Bing™, Pandora®, iHeartRadio, and real-time traffic and weather updates, through a paired smartphone. An available rear-seat Dual View Entertainment Center with a 16.4-inch widescreen display ensures passengers in the back can enjoy movies or video games, even with split-screen capability for simultaneous viewing of different content.
Safety is paramount in the 2014 Toyota Sienna, which comes standard with the Toyota Star Safety System™. This comprehensive suite includes Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), and Smart Stop Technology (SST). Seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag and full-length side curtain airbags, are also standard. The Blind Spot Monitor, standard on Limited and available on SE, further enhances safety by alerting drivers to vehicles in their blind spots and including a cross-traffic alert for added assistance when reversing. The optional Safety Connect™ system on Limited and XLE (optional) provides features like Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), and Stolen Vehicle Location services, offering added peace of mind for families on the go.
The 2014 Toyota Sienna remains a compelling choice in the minivan segment, offering a blend of performance, versatility, safety, and technology tailored to the needs of today’s families. Whether it’s daily commutes, weekend getaways, or long road trips, the Sienna is designed to provide a comfortable and capable ride for everyone on board.
