New Toyota Sienna 2015 Accessories
Toyota is known for its safety features, and the 2015 Toyota Sienna does not disappoint. Either front wheel or all wheel drive provide safe handling both around town and merging onto freeways. Other safety features include generous airbag protection, traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes, and emergency brake assistance system. Some trims will also offer a pre-collision system and blind spot monitor.
2015 Toyota Sienna MPG and Engine
Even though it will continue to use the same 3.5 L V6 engine with a six speed automatic transmission, drivers can expect improved fuel economy. Most fuel savings will come from the use of lighter materials and improved design. Fuel consumption driving around town remains at 18 miles per gallon while highway fuel consumption improves to 26 miles per gallon. The 266 horsepower engine generates quick acceleration, reaching maximum speed in just eight seconds.
There is much excitement about the possibility of Toyota introducing a hybrid engine for the 2015 Sienna. The hybrid engine would increase the fuel savings by storing braking energy in the battery. Battery specifications are not available at this time. The possible hybrid engine would probably use a 2.4 cylinder engine with 180 horsepower.
2015 Toyota Sienna Price and Release date
With five different trim levels, the new Toyota Sienna offers a range of pricing options from the basic L model starting at around $29,000 up to the Limited model starting at around $41,500. Depending on the features and options added, expect the pricing to go up from these base prices. The anticipated hybrid model will add more to the price if it is available. The 2015 Toyota Sienna is available from last quarter of 2014.
