Test details:

The Toyota Sienna was introduced in the 1998 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Left to right:

Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained extremely well.
Crumpled sheet metal in front of the occupant compartment indicates where the crash energy was absorbed. A strong safety cage helped keep the tire out of the driver footwell area.
There was very little intrusion into the driver footwell area.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front seat-mounted torso airbags (optional beginning with 2001 models)
Electronic stability control (optional beginning with 2001 models)

Daytime running lights (standard beginning with 1999 models)
