| Petrol engines (Toyota Sienna) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Mercedes R class) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Sienna) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Mercedes R class) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 21 years | 20 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 5 other car models, including Toyota RAV4, Lexus RX, Toyota Camry, Lexus ES | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Mercedes E klase, Mercedes ML | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Sienna might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
