Why a minivan when we have 3-row SUVs?
When it comes to choosing the perfect family vehicle, especially for extended family use, an SUV sometimes just doesn't cut it. At one end of the spectrum, you may need to make room for Grandma, and at the other, you may have a close grouping of young ones - and wouldn't it be nice for all these folks to be able to easily enter and exit the vehicle without needing to be lifted, hauled, pushed, boosted or otherwise handled as they try to climb in or out of a 3-row SUV? And as some of us have noticed, the more people an SUV holds, the higher the step-in seems to be. Enter the all-new 2021 Toyota Sienna, offering you kick-open and closed sliding side doors and lower step-in height that makes it easy for toddlers and seniors to climb aboard. And how often have you cringed in a parking lot when your grade schooler threw open the back door and dinged the neighboring vehicle? Granted, that's an altruistic plus, but there's also the more self-centered benefit of easily getting into your vehicle when someone parked a little too close while you were shopping. So before you write off minivans, learn a little about this all-new 2021 Toyota Sienna, with its sleek and sculpted new design, added versatility and new Platinum-level luxury model, for a lot less than you'll pay for a top-of-the-line full-sized SUV.
