The days continue to pass on and months change, but winter seems to want to hang on despite the changes of the calendar. We’re getting close to springtime here in the Des Plaines area, and even though the promise of warmer weather looms, we know that we probably shouldn’t pack away the snowblower and shovel just yet. That’s why even though springtime is on the way now is the time to stop by here at Schaumburg Toyota to learn more about the 2015 Toyota Sienna, available equipped with all-wheel drive, which recently underwent snow and ice testing by a respected third-party group.

The all-wheel drive equipped 2015 Toyota Sienna performed better in certified testing than its segment competitors in icy and snowy conditions, and showed significantly improved performance in handling, traction, and acceleration tests. It also performed on par with popular all-wheel drive SUVs in cornering on snow and ice. The 2015 Toyota Sienna also performed better in active-safety testing on snow. Overall, the 2015 Toyota Sienna equipped with all-wheel drive performed better than its competitors in 0-50 mile per hour acceleration testing on snow, braking performance on ice from 30 miles per hour, and cornering on snow and ice.

The all-wheel drive system available in the 2015 Toyota Sienna at our Des Plaines area Toyota dealership functions via a rear differential with an electromagnetic coupler to distribute as much as 50 percent of the engine’s power to the rear axle via a transfer case, depending upon traction, conditions, and other factors, as needed. Under normal driving circumstances the system operates as a front-wheel drive system for optimal fuel efficiency. The 2015 Toyota Sienna is available with all-wheel drive in several trim levels: LE, XLE, Limited, XLE Premium, and Limited Premium.
