hey hey everybody, brock frady here helpingyou enjoy your ride. in today's video, we're going to over a 2017toyota sienna limited. the base msrp is $46,170.00 and after optionalequipment and destination charge its $50, 371.00. we're going to go over all the features insideand out, safety and comfort and let you see all around this beautiful 2017 toyota sienna. the power plant is a 3.5 liter v6 direct injectengine. it has 296 horsepower and is more fuel efficientthan its previous generation. it has an 8 speed automatic direct shift transmissionand 263 lb./ft torque.
the fuel economy is 19 miles per gallon city,27 miles per gallon highway and that's due in part to the 8 speed automatic transmission. starting from the front here of this beautifulblizzard pearl 2017 sienna, you have a little dot that is directly above the fog light rightthere. and that's park assist. that is a sensor that can sense things thatare close to you and will give you an audible beep in the event that you're getting closeto hitting something. notice the beautiful headlights. you have led daytime running lights and thenyour main headlights there.
and then you have your fog lights down here. we're going to go over how to operate allof those. and there is a plastic panel there that isdirectly under the toyota emblem. and that is your radar cruise control. that will keep you at a set distance betweenthe front of your sienna and the vehicle in front of you, maintaining safety. the key is really easy to understand. at the top is lock, unlock, power door openersleft and right, rear door opener and panic alarm.
and that sounded like a train horn so you'regoing to be safe should you activate the panic for the rear door, let's open the right sidedoor and there is a brief pause and you can see that the door is opening. and then you can push it again and hold andit will close right up for you. now you also have a little physical key that'sembedded into the key fob itself. there is an icon here that says push and youpush down and it removes the key. you'll never use that to start the car, you'llonly use that in the event the battery in the key fob dies at which point you removethis, place it inside the door and put the key fob up here, up by the start button andit has enough juice to start it.
at which point you will need to have the batteryreplaced. you can see there's a little slot right there. you can just take that and put it right there,turn it, pop it open, and its just a simple watch battery. this one also has remote engine start. and you've got instructions right here onhow to use the remote start. so you're going to press lock three timesand this is how it works. one, two, three and you hold on the third. here it goes.
that's your remote start. now when you do use the remote start, whenyou approach the car and you touch the door handle, it is going to automatically cut off. it's running now. see that, it cut off. the reason that it cut off is in the eventthat a child gets the key fob and runs out to the car without your being aware of it,they don't want the child to come out to a running car. so its a safety thing.
it automatically cuts off. now take a look on the door handle right there. there are two little marks and that is tolock the door. so i just touch this with my finger and thedoors lock. now to unlock the doors all i need to do isgrab the door handle, it unlocks, allowing me in. there 18 inch, 10 spoke, machined alloy wheelswith p235/55-r18 goodyear rsa eagle tires. the front brakes are ventilated and you cansee a little channel if you look there at the brake pad that goes down in the middleof the brake rotor itself.
and that allows the brake rotor to be cooledso that the brakes don't overheat. the headlights are high intensity dischargeheadlights. they're really bright. you can also manually tilt them up and downin order to adjust for the pitch of the front of the vehicle. you can control the level of them up and down. another nice safety feature of the headlightsis the automatic high beams. so they will actually adjust automaticallyif they are on high and they sense a person in oncoming traffic.
so you don't blind others in oncoming trafficthey will adjust down. then, when that person passes, they will goright back up into the high beam mode. you do have led daytime running lights thereat the bottom. nice. its kind of hard to see but there's a littlesensor there on the windshield and that is the sensor for rain sensing wipers. the wipers will automatically cut on whenit starts to rain and they'll wipe in accordance with the rain pattern. to operate the gas tank door, there's a leverhere and you just pop it and then the door
opens right up for you. you have a little hanger here that you canplace the gas cap on while you are refueling so that it doesn't mess up your paint. it does use regular gas. 87 octane all the way. one of the most important functions of a minivanis that beautiful back door. and the way you operate that is to hit theicon on the bottom left of the key fob and you hold it down and then it pops right openfor you. that is obviously a power rear door.
it's power open and close. there is a button on the bottom edge of thedoor and that's where you can close it there when you need to. now check out these seats. there's a lot of different configurationsthat you can work with the seats. but one of the neat things are the switchesthat are up here in this top panel and you can see that it gives you an option to foldjust the seat back down or to fold the entire seat down. so we're going to hit the button on the leftand check out what happens with the seat back.
very nice feature. i'm going to go ahead and do the other oneso that we can get an idea of the storage capacity with just the seat backs folded andyou see how the seat was actually stuck because it hit the seat there in the front and rightnow there a light there that is blinking that says incomplete operation. and that's just letting you know whoa i gotstuck on something and i can't go any further. so what we did is just let the seat down butits actually going to come back up so that it doesn't continue to move forward and possiblycrush something. so let's repeat and now she should go righton down.
alright, so now what we're going to do isfold this seat all the way down completely flat into that base cavity. and you do have to hold it the whole time. really convenient. now we are going to fold the smaller portionall the way down to give you an idea of the storage capacitywith just your captains chairs. and that is a really good storage area. now a feature that is available on the onesthat have eight passenger capacity, that is not this one, this is a seven passenger.
there's going to be a seat right there inthe middle between the captains chairs but if you do have that seat, you can remove itand you can place it right there in the corner of the back. so it makes it so you can store it there whennot in use and that's where its going to plug in. for more convenience you have a power plug. this is just like an outlet in your house. it's a 120 volt, 100 watt and then there isa 12 volt power point there with an additional light.
you have 12 cup holders in this thing. there are cup holders everywhere. you've got two there and i'm not going togo through them all. but you've got four cup holders just for thethird row seat itself. but just know that you are going to have plentyof cup holders. you can get 7 people and 12 drinks in thisthing. the exterior color of this vehicle is blizzardpearl. it is a gorgeous color and its actually atri-coat paint. i am familiar with it because this blizzardpearl color was actually a color that lexus
had and its multi-layered. it's just absolutely gorgeous. i hope you can see the detail of it rightthere. and then to go along with that luxurious externalpaint is a beautiful internal leather color and that is called chesnut. and it goes really, really well with the overalllook of the vehicle. nice and sophisticated. check out the contrasted stitching and theseats are perforated and they are very cushy. take a look at how luxurious a feature thisis.
that is like a little recliner. isn't that ridiculous? i love this. there is a handle down here and when you pullthe little handle, the seat bottom comes out and it makes a lovely recliner and what goodis a recliner? well, when you have a massive screen likethat that you can watch blu-rays on. and its actually a split screen so you canwatch like a blu-ray movie on one side and even play video games on the other side. pretty incredible.
but this seat is just made that much morecomfortable with the fact that is has a reclining feature. ac 120 volt, outlet right there. here is for your video, left and right soyou can plug things in. and you can like this. it pulls out for some additional storage andmakes the cup holders more accessible to the second row. you can keep things in here once you've closedthis up though because this actually recesses into the storage compartment.
there is a power button here and you havea one touch automatic power there with your wood grain interior. you also have manual sunshades and that isreally neat. in addition to that the back windows are tintednice and dark but you can put that up for even more privacy. and what's neat is that it going to shadethe sun out of the cabin but look, you can still see really clearly out of it. now check out the shades for the back glass. so all the rows can have their own shades.
so, you could actually take this vehicle ona road trip, put those shades up. you could recline back in your recliner here. you could watch a blu-ray movie on this massivescreen. my goodness. there is a power button. there is a slide button right here and thatis for the rear sunroof. so you actually have a double sunroof in thisvehicle. and that back sunroof actually opens. most vehicles, when they have a panoramicroof, it's just for looks.
this is actually a functional sunroof thatopens and there is your other sunroof for the people in the front. now you can see there that there is a littleicon and that is an icon to let you know that there is a safety anchor for a child safetyseat. right there underneath. my finger is on it right there. so that is where you're going to want to hookyour child safety seat belt to secure it. check out the inside of the door. it is absolutely luxurious.
the padding on the armrest for your elbowis really really soft. you have the stitching here that is highlightingthe beautiful color and the contour of the door. the power window is automatic and there isyour lock and unlock button. you have the satin finish on the door handle. everything is just really really classy. you have plenty of storage there in the doorpocket as well. you can see that you've got basically a bigstorage bin there and several different areas that you can put things.
and that is a water bottle holder made specificallyfor a bottle. you've got your jbl stereo. alright let's take a look at all the differentlittle storage cavities and everything starting right down here on this panel. two cup holders. on the far left there you've got your heatedfor seats for the driver and the passenger. multi-level heated seats. you've got a usb and a power adapter there. and then a 12 volt lighter adapter.
down there below is your blu-ray disc playerand you also have, you can put in a sd card there to view media that is a sd card. that is so cool. you've got another power outlet down there,a sd, i mean a usb and why not, another power outlet. then you've got a grippy pad right down therefor storage and two more cup holders. more storage. and this is the drawer and it actually isonly going to be used for storage like whenever that is open.
you don't want to close things into that becauseit will, it won't close if you've got things in there. you can basically just use that for storagewhile that is open only. on the dash here you have your transmission,your gear shifter. and it is an eight speed sequential shifttransmission. sequential shift means that you can actuallyshift it manually without a clutch and that's what that plus and minus is. and whenever it is in s, you can flip it overfrom drive at any speed and change gears manually. you'll see two big dials, on the left is thedriver's side temperature and then on the
right is the passenger side temperature controls. inside of those buttons you have auto andyou have off. automatic makes it so that you can set thetemperature automatically just like the central air in your house and it will keep it at thatset temperature. and whenever you do put it in auto, if youcut the temperature down, its going to increase the fan speed until the cabin reaches thatset temperature. the middle of the button on the right is a/cand recirculate. and then for the back you have rear temperaturethere. and you can control that from up front oryou can give the rear occupants command.
you can press that rear button there and thatis going to allow them to control the air and the fan speed and temperature from theback. you can see sync. sync will allow it to basically sync all threeclimate control systems together to give the driver full control. front and rear defrost and mode. the frost defrost, obvious what that is. rear defrost. and then mode will change the fan direction.
so you can actually control the fan directionmanually if you want to put it to your feet or defrost or anything in between. your hazards are right there. and then you've got this screen up here thatis a flat panel screen and it is touch sensitive and that is just such a cool look. i love the fact that toyota is basically makingit so there are not as many buttons in the vehicle as there used to be. there's a lot of flat surfaces that you cantouch to access the information that you need to access.
so starting with audio, let's take a lookat the panel. you can press audio and it's going to showyou the different audio modes. am, fm, xm, cd, usb, bluetooth audio, auxiliary,and rear. now, the reason there are so many is becauseyou have so many sources that you can listen to. over here on the steering wheel, on the leftside of the steering wheel, you have steering wheel audio controls. that's going to be your volume, your stationscan, mode, and then your voice commands. where you see mode, you can press mode andthat's going to change your audio source here.
so let's say you were listening to am andyou wanted to listen to fm. you could just press mode and it would changeit. okay, now you see where it says apps, let'spress apps and press ok. and so now this is going to be your applications. so of which are internet based and move fromyour phone. and i'll explain that. you can see the navigation icon there. and that's going to show you your map. real quickly, you see the green arrows onthe map there.
that's called xm nav traffic and that's goingto give you a color coded way of knowing the real time traffic condition. if those arrows are yellow, its going to becongested. if they are red, its a parking lot at whichpoint we can route you around bad traffic if they are red lines. and so now we'll press destination at thebottom. this is how you find a destination. by address, point of interest, and you cansee all of the different selections. okay.
let's go back to apps. and then you can go phone. no phone is paired and this is where you couldpair a phone if you wanted to. we're not going to do that for the demonstrationhere. messages, this is if you have your phone setup through bluetooth you could actually have the car read emails and text messages outloud to you if your phone has the capability. really, really neat. eco allows you to see real time fuel economyinformation. setup, this is how you're going to controlthe settings that make the vehicle work exactly
the way you want it to work. that's something that you're going to needto mess with. if you get this car, i really recommend spendingsome time in setup so that you can really get it set up from the start exactly the wayyou want everything to work. you see right it says driver easy speak. this is awesome. you can go here and there is actually a microphonein the car and it can pick up your voice from the driver's seat. and then its going to route your voice throughthe speakers in the car in the back so that
you don't have to yell all the time if youwant to have a conversation with the people in the back. and when you see driver easy speak volumesettings there, that means that you can actually adjust it low, medium, and high. the sensitivity or how well the rear passengerscan hear your voice. a lot of neat stuff. so, this is like a said you're going to goand basically set it up to work exactly the way you want it to work. and then you also have a micro sd card rightthere and that is the map data for the navigation
system. you don't want to mess with that unless youare having the map or the sd card updated at the dealership. how about for more storage capacity, a doubleglove box. there's a little silver bar right there andyou can press that up and you've got a really nice storage area there. a lot of times in these cars, the glove boxesaren't even big enough to fit the owner's manuals. but look, there's the owner's manual rightthere and so you can see how the owner's manual
takes up pretty much the whole portion ofthat bottom box. so why not throw in another box for your convenienceto actually hold things. really nice. okay check this out. there is a button right here and it says rearvent pull and push. now watch what happens when she does that. it allows you to vent the rear glass and itspower. that is such a neat feature. go ahead and do that again.
i love that. and then the other buttons right here on thispanel right there. the next one over is traction control off,park assist, bacon sandwich maker, just kidding, blind spot monitor, heated steering wheel,and then the manual control for controlling the leveling of the headlights. and you can see down here, down below thatyou've got a little coin tray and you can see on the right side of that that you canstore your coins and then you have power door off. that's if you want to cut off the access tothe power door.
then down below is the hood latch, hood release. to the left of the that is your gas tank andthen your push on and off parking brake. now the steering wheel is nice in the hands. i love the feel of the steering wheel andyou've got the little indentations there and that is perfect for your thumb to fit rightinside of. the operation for your headlights is goingto be on this stalk here and you can see where it says auto. and that is whenever that is set, the headlightswill cut on automatically at night as the sun goes down.
at the bottom here is says dlr off. that's daytime running lights off. as you roll it up, that is your parking lightsand that's your headlights on manually. and this is fog lights and of course yourturn signals are there. and another neat thing is whenever you justpress it up without fully engaging it, you can see i'm just going to tap it up and itwill pop back down. it blinks three times. so that's just to change lanes. and you can see where it says auto here.
that's because the wipers are rain sensingand they'll cut on automatically whenever it starts to rain. in order to activate that i'll pop this downonce. the wipers just wiped to let me know thatthat feature is now active. and i can pull it down again and that's lowmanually. and that's high. you can see the ring on the inside says auto. this will actually adjust the sensitivityof the rain sensing wipers. your rear wiper control is here and that'sintermittent and that's on manually constant.
i can roll it to the far top or i can rollit to the far bottom there and that's going to wash the rear glass off. i can pull the stalk toward me and that'sgoing to wash the front glass off. hey hey everybody, brock frady here helpingyou enjoy your ride. in today's video, we're going to over a 2017 toyota sienna limited.the base msrp is $46,170.00 and after optional equipment and destination charge its $50,371.00. all around this beautiful 2017 toyota sienna.the power plant is a 3.5 liter v6 direct inject engine. it has 296 horsepower and is morefuel efficient than its previous generation. it has an 8 speed automatic direct shift transmissionand 263 lb./ft torque. the fuel economy is

let's go back to apps. and then you can gophone. no phone is paired and this is where you could pair a phone if you wanted to. we'renot going to do that for the demonstration here. messages, this is if you have your phoneset up through bluetooth you could actually have the car read emails and text messagesout loud to you if your phone has the capability. really, really neat. eco allows you to seereal time fuel economy information. setup, this is how you're going to control the settingsthat make the vehicle work exactly the way you want it to work. that's something thatyou're going to need to mess with. if you get this car, i really recommend spendingsome time in setup so that you can really get it set up from the start exactly the wayyou want everything to work. you see right
it says driver easy speak. this is awesome.you can go here and there is actually a microphone in the car and it can pick up your voice fromthe driver's seat. and then its going to route your voice through the speakers in the carin the back so that you don't have to yell all the time if you want to have a conversationwith the people in the back. and when you see driver easy speak volume settings there,that means that you can actually adjust it low, medium, and high. the sensitivity orhow well the rear passengers can hear your voice. a lot of neat stuff. so, this is likea said you're going to go and basically set it up to work exactly the way you want itto work. and then you also have a micro sd card right there and that is the map datafor the navigation system. you don't want
to mess with that unless you are having themap or the sd card updated at the dealership. how about for more storage capacity, a doubleglove box. there's a little silver bar right there and you can press that up and you'vegot a really nice storage area there. a lot of times in these cars, the glove boxes aren'teven big enough to fit the owner's manuals. takes up pretty much the whole portion ofthat bottom box. so why not throw in another box for your convenience to actually holdthings. really nice. okay check this out. there is a button right here and it says rearvent pull and push. now watch what happens when she does that. it allows you to ventthe rear glass and its power. that is such a neat feature. go ahead and do that again.i love that. and then the other buttons right
here on this panel right there. the next oneover is traction control off, park assist, bacon sandwich maker, just kidding, blindspot monitor, heated steering wheel, and then the manual control for controlling the levelingof the headlights. and you can see down here, down below that you've got a little coin trayand you can see on the right side of that that you can store your coins and then youhave power door off. that's if you want to cut off the access to the power door. thendown below is the hood latch, hood release. to the left of the that is your gas tank andthen your push on and off parking brake. now the steering wheel is nice in the hands. ilove the feel of the steering wheel and you've got the little indentations there and thatis perfect for your thumb to fit right inside
of. the operation for your headlights is goingto be on this stalk here and you can see where it says auto. and that is whenever that isset, the headlights will cut on automatically at night as the sun goes down. at the bottomhere is says dlr off. that's daytime running lights off. as you roll it up, that is yourparking lights and that's your headlights on manually. and this is fog lights and ofcourse your turn signals are there. and another neat thing is whenever you just press it upwithout fully engaging it, you can see i'm just going to tap it up and it will pop backdown. it blinks three times. so that's just to change lanes. and you can see where itsays auto here. that's because the wipers are rain sensing and they'll cut on automaticallywhenever it starts to rain. in order to activate
that i'll pop this down once. the wipers justwiped to let me know that that feature is now active. and i can pull it down again andthat's low manually. and that's high. you can see the ring on the inside says auto.this will actually adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensing wipers. your rear wipercontrol is here and that's intermittent and that's on manually constant. i can roll itto the far top or i can roll it to the far bottom there and that's going to wash therear glass off. i can pull the stalk toward me and that's going to wash the front glassoff. there' s a multi information display that is between the tachometer and the speedometerright there. it's digital and i'm going to be accessing that by this little multi informationor multi directional key pad that's here on
the steering wheel. there's an icon here andthat's your cruise control. you set the distance of your radar cruise control. your cruisecontrol is down here. and i press the end of the stalk to actually cut the cruise controlon and i can see the cruise control icon over in this display at the top left and that'sgoing to be right there. little green. and then at that point i can press that radarcruise control icon on the front there and you can see three little blocks that are infront of the vehicle icon. you see the blocks. i pressed it once, it reduces it by one block.again it reduces it to one block. that's three, two, one. and the controls the amount of distancethat the vehicle is going to maintain from the vehicle in front of me if i have the radarcruise control active. it will actually apply
the brakes if necessary. now i'm pressingleft on that multi information display on the face of the steering wheel. you can seei need gas. that is the settings. and so i can push the middle of that directional keypadand i can move it up and down. ect is electronically controlled transmission and that's on. that'sgoing to change the shift points in order to make it feel like i have a little moretorque on take off. i can cut that off or i can just cut it back on. i can press settingsand this is going to be how i customize the drive info that pops up on the multi informationdisplay while i'm driving. so things that i can change are digital speedometer, distanceto empty. so i can press digital, yep let's go with digital. i can press distance to empty,yes i want to do that. but i want to do it
with the average fuel economy. and now i canback out of that and i can go drive info 2. and so now what drive info means is goingto be i'm pressing left now. and that's drive info right there. so you see distance andi didn't make any changes to the other settings so there's actually several screens that ican change. it's pretty awesome. i can really customize this to really any information thati want. that is for navigation and when i have a navigation in the navigation system,if i'm going somewhere, a destination in the navigation system, i'm going to see more icons,you know. like the next thing that i have to execute. if i have to turn right or leftand the distance to that next one. audio, radar cruise control, and then more settingsthere. and that little pages icon, you can
see that little icon is here on the face ofthe front of the steering wheel and that tells me i can hold. i can press it down and holdto customize the screens. pop-up display, accent color. this is where i it can actuallywarn me if i am exceeding a certain speed limit. that is so cool. by the way, the littlespeed limit signs like that are going to be on your nav system while you are driving inmany areas. it will show you the actual speed limit in the area you are driving. prettyneat stuff. thanks for watching everybody. if you liked this video and you would likecontent like this delivered to you fresh, hot off the press then pound that subscribebutton and i'll be glad to send it to you. have a great day everybody!
