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.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2001 Toyota Sienna are very satisfied with their vehicles, highlighting its reliability, comfort, and spaciousness as key benefits. Many appreciate the van's performance on long trips and its capability in handling various terrains, especially the power of the V6 engine. However, some mentioned minor complaints regarding steering feel in the vehicle, which might not suit everyone’s preference, and the lack of an AWD option in this model year."
This is a awesome van one of the best I ever had comfortable good air fluoride long lasting Ive had every van Toyota has made since the first one came out I average 450000 miles
September 20, 2020Owned this car from 110k to 190k and has to be the most reliable vehicle I have ever had. Had a 94 Camry before and thought that was good, but the Sienna was even better all the way around. Great design.
August 9, 2011What would you ask of a family car? Comfort - It's got it, especially at the XLE Trim. Everything you would want for your kids and yourself. It's big and roomy. Good road trip car. Reliability - The soccer mom has no time think about this or that for the car. You just want it to run. There are no problems with this car. Just take it to a good place to have everything checked up. It's been running 150k plus miles. No problems except for a dead battery or twice. Safety - 5 star crash safety rating says it all. and the wild card Performance - Hey it's not bad for a car like this. the V6 engine definitely pulls if you want it to. There is very little response coming through to the steering wheel. While it is easy to turn, it also feels like jelly and I can't get any feeling from the wheels on the car. But you won't notice that if you drive it enough. The brakes are excellent though. Unfortunately, this year doesn't offer the AWD option. You may consider getting the later years because the AWD option gives you many advantages.

January 15, 2008We have owned the Sienna for 13 year. It has been a great family car. We have taken this to Colorado and numerous trips to Florida. There is plenty of power going through the mountains. The van has held up well and we have had to spend very little on maintenance over the years.
April 1, 2013So far this has been a good safe vehicle with minimal problems. Pretty good on gas.
