| Side crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle categories. |
The Toyota Sienna was redesigned for the 2004 model year. Beginning with 2005 models manufactured after February 2005, changes were made to the vehicle side structure and to the optional side torso airbags to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). Beginning with 2006 models, side airbags were made standard.
Two tests of a 2005 Sienna were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without. Both were manufactured after the structural and airbag modifications had been made. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.
Injury measures
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
