September 19, 2006 – Torrance, CA - The Toyota Sienna
family van gets an infusion of power for 2007 with a
new, 266-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine that replaces
the previous 215-horsepower 3.3-liter V6. The new engine
significantly improves acceleration and merging
performance for Sienna, yet returns fuel economy
comparable to the previous engine.
The 2007 Sienna's DOHC 3.5L V6 produces 245 lb.-ft. peak
torque at 4,700 rpm. A Dual Variable Valve Timing with
intelligence (Dual VVT-i) system operates on both the
intake and exhaust valves to ensure optimal performance
and efficiency at all engine speeds.
The V6 is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission
with intelligence (ECT-i). Impressive acceleration makes
the Sienna a capable everyday driving vehicle with the
power to merge with confidence. Fuel economy remains
excellent for the class, with EPA city/highway gas
mileage estimates of 19/26 mpg for front-wheel-drive
models and 18/23 mpg for all-wheel-drive models.
Sienna remains one of the few mini-vans to offer an
all-wheel drive option. The AWD system employs a center
differential to divide engine power 50:50 front and
rear. Wheel slippage at either set of wheels
automatically transfers more power to the opposite
wheels to help keep the Sienna moving forward.
The Sienna is available in four model grades: CE, LE,
XLE, and the top-of-the-line Limited. All four come in
front-wheel drive configuration, and the LE, XLE, and
Limited also offer all-wheel-drive. The CE and LE are
available in both seven- and eight-passenger
configurations; others are seven-passenger models.
A 119.3-inch wheelbase gives Sienna exceptional interior
room and a smooth ride. The 36.8-foot turning circle is
tighter than for some midsize cars, helping to make the
Sienna easily maneuverable.
Focus on Comfort and Versatility
Minivan customers expect exceptional passenger and cargo
room, and Sienna delivers both with a sharp focus on
space optimization. The dashboard-mounted gated shifter
allows pass-through room between the front seats. Sienna
offers two distinctly different second-row seating
options that are easy to adjust, tumble, or remove. In
its seven-passenger configuration, Sienna features
second-row captains chairs with a passenger-side chair
that can be repositioned side-to-side, offering either a
bench or a bucket arrangement.
The Sienna CE and LE grades offer an eight-passenger
configuration. A second-row, three-way split/folding
bench with a Front and Center® middle seat that can be
moved nearly 13 inches closer to the front seats, making
infants and toddlers in child-seats more accessible.
All Sienna models are equipped with a standard versatile
60/40 Split & Stow 3rd Row™ bench seat that folds flat
into the floor. Either side of the seat can be stowed
separately with low-effort, one-hand operation. With the
entire rear seat stowed and the second-row seats
removed, four-by-eight foot sheets of plywood can be
loaded flat onto the floor. The Limited model offers a
power-operated third-row version that makes switching
from carrying people to cargo even easier.
Toyota paid close attention to the needs of frequent
occupants of the middle and third-row seats – children
and young adults. The LCD screen for the available rear
seat entertainment system measures nine inches. In
addition, a universal mini-jack port standard on all
audio systems allows connectivity to most portable music
players.
Sienna delivers a wide range of standard amenities. The
Sienna XLE and Limited models respond to the growing
demand for even higher levels of comfort and luxury to
the minivan segment, with the Limited adding standard
leather-trimmed upholstery, a 10-speaker premium sound
system, Dynamic Laser Cruise Control, heated front seats
and other features.
An available DVD-based satellite navigation system
for XLE and Limited models includes a backup camera. The
camera automatically projects an image of what its lens
can detect behind the vehicle onto the navigation
system's LCD screen when reverse gear is engaged.
Family Safety
All seating positions are equipped with three-point
seatbelts, and front seat-mounted side airbags and
side-curtain airbags covering all three seat rows are
standard equipment on all Sienna grades. The LATCH
system (Lower Anchor with Tethers for CHildren) is in
all second-row seating positions to accommodate
new-design child seats.
Sienna has been engineered to provide responsive,
confident handling, and all models feature a standard
anti-lock brake system (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. The Brake Assist
feature is designed to determine if the driver is
attempting emergency braking and, if the driver has not
stepped firmly enough on the brake pedal to engage the
ABS, the system applies maximum braking power until
pedal pressure is released.
,.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC)
is standard on the Limited grade and AWD models and
available as an option on other models. VSC helps the
driver maintain control in adverse driving conditions,
and the TRAC feature helps reduce tire slippage during
acceleration.
The Sienna AWD models come standard with 17-inch
run-flat tires on aluminum alloy wheels (new design for
2007). Reinforced sidewalls and a special bead shape
enable these tires to be driven with no air pressure for
up to 100 miles at speeds up to 55 mph. A spare tire is
also available. The tire pressure monitor system on all
Sienna models is now a direct-type for 2007.
The Toyota Value Standard in All Models

standard equipment and thoughtful features, makes Sienna
a truly outstanding value. Standard equipment in the

A memory system for the driver's seat and outside
mirrors is standard on the Limited grade and optional
for the XLE. The Limited's power-folding mirrors
integrate puddle lamps and turn signals. Enhanced audio

changer; Dynamic Laser Cruise Control; high intensity
discharge (HID) headlights; heated front seats with

Onboard Entertainment and Navigation for Family
Adventures
A wide selection of optional convenience features
enhances Sienna's versatility and comfort. Some of these
include a DVD rear seat entertainment system with
wireless headphones; navigation system with backup
camera; 115v power outlets; second- and third-row
sunshades, and a JBL Synthesis AM/FM/CD with six-disc
changer and 10-speaker surround sound audio system.
The optional navigation system's integrated Bluetooth®
technology provides a hands-free communication system
when used with a compatible cellular phone. A call can
be dialed by using the navigation display screen's
keypad, and incoming calls can be answered and ended by
pushing a button located on the steering wheel. When
receiving a call, the audio system is automatically
muted, and the speakers act as the phone receiver and
transmitter.

Manufacturing, Indiana (TMMI) in Princeton, Ind., with
more than 90 percent of its content sourced from North
