2012 Toyota Prius PHV Plug-in Hybrid
Toyota Sienna Hybrid Family Minivan by Ernest Jarquio
Much has been said about hybrids, from Honda to Ford to GM and Saturn, even Mazda and Renault. There are sedans and SUVs and pickup trucks and buses all going electric or hydrogen fueled. But even before hybrids became a craze, Toyota has been silently and continuously developing hybrid cars as part of its corporate responsibility to protect the environment. From the Prius sedan to the Highlander SUV, Toyota strives to be at the forefront of hybrid technology, coming up with one new concept after another. No wonder Toyota Sienna hybrid came along.
Toyota's addition to the range -- the Toyota Sienna Hybrid -- is Toyota's entry into the hybrid mini-van race. Aiming for superiority in hybrid sales by 2012, Toyota brought the mini-van along to complete its array of hybrid vehicles. And the Toyota Sienna Hybrid is proving its mettle comparable to its peers in the Toyota hybrid stable.
Economy, Eco-Safety, Eco-friendly
The Toyota Sienna Hybrid mini-van increases the Sienna V6 fuel efficiency to almost 40 miles to the gallon, at least as far as Toyota advocates would dare say. First introduced in 1998, the Sienna's penetrating point is the family. Easily taking on a family of six, the Sienna Hybrid comes with not only the roominess but the safety features that every family head will look for.
Is it fuel-efficient? That's always the first question hybrid connoisseurs will ask. The Sienna is said to be getting more than 25mpg cruising on the highway. Not much by others' standards, but remember, the Sienna transports a family of five or six, usually with all the gear and stuff that families on outings or reunions usually bring along. With such load, it is a marvel that the Sienna can even get 20mpg. But at 25mpg, that is a good deal already, as together with weight capacity comes the elbow- and knee-room requirement for vans.
With increased fuel efficiency comes Sienna's low emission capability, contributing greatly to eco-safety for cleaner air. Almost zero emissions standards have been passed by the Toyota Sienna Hybrid.
Safety for the Family
Touted as a great family mini-van hybrid, the Sienna measures up as it comes with the trademark Toyota safety standards that guarantee a safe trip for the driver and his family. With standard Toyota features like airbag systems for the driver, front passenger, and the kids inside, curtain airbags on the van's sides, impact-absorbing body frames, 3-point seatbelts which shoulder anchors adjust easily, and crumple zones at the rear and front of the vehicle.
And there's more. The anti-lock braking system is assured of even brake distribution with the EBD or electronic brake assistance. With a family van, you cannot afford to have the kids tumbling all over the compartment at every rough road surface or uneven topography. So there is the VSC system for added stability and the traction control system for better grip. You can't have tires bursting on you, what with the kind of weight and VIP cargo you're bringing, so tires are monitored with the direct TPMS monitor system. All of these come under an integrated vehicle dynamics management system.
The driver has to focus on the road and can not afford to be distracted by the kids roughing it out at the back. To keep his mind at peace, the driver relies on the Toyota Sienna Hybrid's holistic child protection systems, like child-protect locks, the CRS restraint system, LATCH anchors and tethers, mobilizers, and impact-absorbing beams.
Responsiveness is the key that the developers of the Toyota Sienna Hybrid had in mind when they strived to put together this family mini-van to match the rigid requirements of complete family protection. The Toyota Sienna Hybrid is packed with popular standards and options to keep the parents secure in the fact that their children are amply protected.
A Synchrony
With all these features, the Toyota Sienna Hybrid will qualify as a full family hybrid van, which means it has the amenities that will not only provide the comfort for elderly, teens, pre-teens, and infant passengers, with safety guaranteed, and the low environmental impact of fuel efficiency and low emissions. One cannot go wrong with the Toyota Sienna Hybrid when taking one's family on a long ride.
