New 2007 Toyota Sienna Exterior Review [ 2009 , 2008 ]
Toyota Sienna Exterior Review
Exterior - 7.5 (Good)
The Sienna has attractive lines but, like most minivans, probably won't turn heads. Kelley Blue Book echoes the thoughts of many reviewers, saying, "The Sienna is smartly styled but offers nothing radical in the way of exterior features or design." U.S. News reviewer Rick Newman notes, however, "The Sienna has some trendy styling and some sharp edges that help it stand out (from a rather sedate crowd)." The Auto Channel says that the Sienna has a "long snout, backswept headlight housings, and a smiling countenance," along with a low stance and "nicely sculpted character lines" that "lead to a rear view with a little character," and concludes, "No one could accuse Sienna of being bold, but its styling is not just white-bread either."
The last exhaustive exterior overhaul of the Sienna took place for model year 2004, but for model year 2006 the Sienna's front fascia, side molding, and rear taillights were redesigned. This year's model is largely unchanged. Kelley Blue Book explains, "Last year's overhaul added nearly five inches to the Sienna's wheelbase" -- an increase that provides more interior space without significantly affecting exterior styling.
