For years, the Toyota Sienna has been a favourite family car for many Nigerians. There are many reasons for this. Some of them are that it has plenty of cabin and cargo space and is affordable for many Nigerian families.
Apart from this, one of the many things to look out for when shopping for minivans is safety. That’s because minivans are usually family cars. And, no one will want their children in an unsafe car. But buying the safest minivan is overwhelming, especially if you need one in 2022.
