It took about 6 weeks from start to finish, but we took delivery of our new 2025 Toyota Sienna XLE this past Saturday.
While we have only put 30 miles on it, we love it.
My wife is not a car person so her commentary means the most. We both agree it is amazingly comfortable and easy to drive. It has much more footroom for the rear passengers than what our 2014 T&C had, though I can tell already we will miss the vast amount of storage that the Chrysler has as compared to the Toyota.
The hybrid system is very, very smooth, unlike the F150 powerboost we have here at work. You don't feel a thing when the engine kicks on when driving the van. It will take some time for me to get past the engine not being warmed up before being shut off, as well as the constant stop/start going on as you drive. I tried Sport Mode on Sunday and noticed it acted more like a Start Stop system than a Hybrid.
I also fear forgetting to turn it off when parking it in the garage, since it pulls in silently. We were able to leave the church parking lot on Sunday entirely on electric power, which was cool.
Fit and finish is very good. I love the size of the steering wheel. While an odd observation, it is oddly idea for driving. It's the right diameter, and not too thick.
Carplay is awesome as well. The sounds system is very good, even though it isn't the premium system
When our 5 year old asked how long we are keeping this van, our answer was, "as long as possible." We got our T&C when he was born.
Thanks to those who did write ups on this van vs. others. I would have preferred a Honda for the looks of the van, but my wife wanted AWD, and our Honda dealer isn't the greatest, especially compared to our local Toyota dealer. Honda also only comes in black interior for the trims we want, and she didn't want that either.
