The 2001 Toyota Sienna saw a few changes, including the discontinuation of the three-door CE. The engine was given a power boost, and the grille, front bumper, taillights, and headlights all received a makeover.

The 2001 Sienna came in three trim levels: the base CE, the midrange LE, and the high-end XLE. The CE is for minimalists only, with air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and a cassette player all optional. The LE is better equipped, and the XLE includes luxury-like amenities, such as leather trimmed seating and a power moon roof. The engine is a 3.0 liter, 210 horsepower V6 that gets about 19/24 mpg.

Drivers like the 2001 Sienna because it handles like a car instead of a van, offers plenty of cargo space, and comes with Toyota reliability. Many owners find that the van is overpriced, and many wish for rear seats that fold completely flat.
