2021 Toyota Sienna

 So you and yours enjoyed the long-awaited vacation excursions relaxing on the beaches or hiking in the mountains.  But, you discovered that your so-called family vehicle just wasn't up to the job due to lack of space, power, and so on.  As he said in the Jaw's flick...we need a bigger boat or in your case a larger family hauler.  Enter the SUV-looking Toyota Sienna hybrid minivan that even offers AWD in its fuel-sipping 35mpg hybrid with a cavernous cabin that will handle a large family with abundant cargo space.  

The Sienna also brings a very handsome exterior purportedly inspired by Japan's bullet train with aggressive styling. Its raised hood, huge grille, squinty headlights, sculpted lines, and muscular wheel flares give the Sienna an SUV/sporty appearance. The rear end continues that theme with the looks of a Toyota Supra. Besides the macho styling, the door hinges and slides have been re-engineered to bury the sliding channel below the rear side window frame.

  

You will nod your head in agreement when you first lay eyes on this new Toyota Sienna hybrid with the friendly folks at Hixson Toyota of Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana, or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see first-hand if it meets your expectations.  

When your crew steps inside they will be impressed with its cool features like comfortable seats, a very spacious center console, and gobs of storage places throughout the cabin with up to 18 cup holders.  Even your second and third seat passengers get comfy rooming seating with either reclining twin captain seats or a bench that slides up to 25 inches.  Legroom has increased for the rear occupants and headroom for even the six-footers.  

It packs a ton of standard and available technology features handled by a standard 9-inch touchscreen for your communication and entertainment desires.  Which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. Amazon Alexa and Sirius XM and a USB media port, six USB charging ports throughout Sienna's cabin. 

The new Sienna can also be a family workhorse as it is capable of carrying a full 4x8 sheet of plywood with the tailgate closed.  Another big plus is this Sienna is just fun to drive.  Behind the wheel, the handling is stable, secure and the steering is quick and precise thanks to Toyota's TNGA-K platform and a new multilink rear suspension.  The ride is quiet unless you have your child's basketball team riding along.  

This new Toyota Sienna just checks all the boxes from a sporty-looking family hauler to a gas-sipping hybrid.  No better time than now to check one out and find out why Consumer Report gave very high scores in owner satisfaction. Just a reminder that holiday travel is coming quickly.

2021 Toyota Venza

 It's back and better than ever with new party tricks to show off.  The redesigned mid-sized SUV Toyota Venza for 2021 comes with aggressive/upscale styling, standard AWD, luxury-level interior, quiet and comfortable ride, only a Hybrid and it is really a lot of fun to drive. 

The Venza is the total package and is zeroing in on being the leader in its class. You and yours will nod your head in agreement when you see and drive the Toyota Venza for 2021 with the friendly folks at Hixson Toyota Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see if it meets your expectations.  The bet is on that it will in spades.

First, this mid-sized SUV comes with more standard features than most in its segment.  The new Venza if offered exclusively as a hybrid with all-wheel drive and the cabin is like a Lexus at a Toyota price.  Also, it is the first Toyota to offer the optional electrochromic panoramic sunroof called the Star Gaze.  With just a flip of a switch, the sunroof's glass panels go from transparent to opaque and is only found until now on luxury cars.  Really cool.

Also making your time fun and efficient behind the wheel is an 8.0-inch touchscreen that sets proudly atop the Venza's dashboard.   A much larger 12.3 screen is available on the XLE and standard on the Limited models. The seats are very comfy, and the interior is just bursting with upscale premium features.  Everything is focused on the driver. Standard on all trims is Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa connectivity as well as SiriusXM satellite.  Even the base LE model gets you Toyota's full suite of advanced driver aids, a hands-free liftgate, LED headlights and a slew of safety features. 

All Venza's use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors that send power through a smooth shifting CVT automatic.  That combo gives the Venza 219 feisty ponies and 40 mpg combined city/highway driving with the power to surprise.  Another big plus is the Toyota Venza's bold styling with curves in all the right places, especially from the rear. 

Crisp lines combined with an aerodynamic shape that will turn heads but is more than just a pretty face as it checks all the boxes from comfort to gas economy.  It is no wonder Consumer Reports recently awarded the Venza the coveted Check Mark for a Recommended Vehicle with high grades in owner satisfaction and reliability.

The next step is just to see if all this is really true and the easy way is to drive a Toyota Venza  that fits your budget and styling.  No better time than now to put that important “fun factor” back into your drivetimes.
