Everybody says a minivan's third row is better than an SUV's. Almost nobody explains why, and the reason is worth two minutes, because it is structural rather than a matter of opinion.

It comes down to floor height. A three-row SUV is built on a platform with a driveshaft tunnel running down the middle and a rear suspension that has to live somewhere — so the third-row seat ends up mounted high, on top of all of that hardware, with the floor close beneath it. Sit there and your knees come up toward your chest, because there is nowhere for your legs to go down. A minivan has no tunnel and a floor that sits far lower, so the third-row cushion can be mounted at a proper chair height with real space underneath. Your feet go on the floor. Your thighs are supported. You sit like a person rather than crouching.

That single difference is why families who switch from a three-row SUV to a Sienna do not switch back, and it is also why the aisle to get back there is walkable instead of a climb. It is not marketing. It is geometry.

The rest of the vehicle follows the same logic. Dual power sliding doors move along the body instead of swinging out, so a tight parking space stops being a negotiation and nothing gets dented. The load floor is low and flat, so loading it does not require lifting anything to shoulder height. And when the third row is not needed, it stows and you have a cargo hold rather than a compromise.

Every Sienna is a hybrid, and that is not optional. Toyota made this entire generation hybrid-only — a 2.5-liter four paired to Toyota's hybrid system for 245 combined horsepower through an eCVT, EPA-rated in the mid-30s combined. Read that against the three-row SUV you were considering, which is probably rated somewhere in the low twenties. No plug, no charging, no change in how you drive — you simply stop for fuel far less often than the people going to the same places you go.

XLE is the trim most families should be shopping. Dual power sliding doors and a power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control so the back of the vehicle is not a different season from the front, heated front seats, SofTex-trimmed seating that wipes clean, and wireless smartphone connectivity. Toyota Safety Sense is standard: a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control that works down to a stop in traffic, lane departure alert with steering assist and lane tracing. Midnight Black over gray is the combination that hides the honest reality of family duty.

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned
