Its got the same engine as the Sienna again--
The new 3.3-liter V6 shares its genealogy with the outgoing 3.0-liter, and that should tell you that it's as smooth and quiet as its predecessor. Horsepower output has increased to 230 (from 220), while torque is now rated 242 pound-feet at 3,600 rpm (versus 222 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm). This engine also employs the company's continuously Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (or VVT-i) to maximize the available thrust at all engine speeds. The use of an electronically controlled throttle allows the new engine to meet the ULEV certification standard; the old V6 met only the less stringent LEV standard.
