You may think of minivans as gentle daily drivers made for school drop-offs and running errands. The Toyota Sienna can do all those things and plenty more. How? This vehicle has a hybrid powertrain that balances power and efficiency, allowing drivers to travel farther and do more than their reputation suggests.
The Toyota Sienna pairs a 2.5L engine with an electric motor to produce 245 net horsepower. That’s plenty of get-up-and-go to start your early mornings. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and it’s a great addition to a hybrid vehicle since it boosts efficiency.
Drivers looking for extra capability from their minivan can opt for the available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. This drivetrain gives you confidence on unfamiliar and uneven roads, such as a new-to-you campground’s main drag! A sport-tuned suspension is available to make every drive dynamic and engaging.
The Sienna is more than a minivan. It’s an adventure vessel, a curiosity voyager, and a mobile home for your family. With so much to strive for, you’ll need versatility on your side. The Toyota comes standard with Normal, Eco, EV, and Sport modes to help you flex the right muscles at the right time!
With a hybrid powertrain at its core, you can experience the best of power and efficiency. All front-wheel drive Siennas achieve an EPA-estimated 36 city/36 highway MPG rating. * Keep the gas station where it belongs—in your rearview.
The Toyota Sienna also has some hidden muscle. When properly equipped, this minivan can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Think of how that can take your next family vacation up a notch. That much muscle lets you haul a couple jet skis, a lightweight travel trailer, a small fishing boat, or a pop-up camper. Say hello to the new core memories you’re about to make with your family!
The interior of the Toyota Sienna is dedicated to you and your family. Its generous dimensions leave plenty of room for growth, whether adding a new bundle of joy to the fam, watching your kids blossom into little adults, or expanding your adventure horizons. For all the hard work you put in as a parent, you’re treated to spa-like creature comforts, too.
The Toyota Sienna seats up to eight passengers with its standard configuration; however, it can seat seven riders with second-row captain’s chairs. Regardless of how many people you have on board, everyone will have 162.5 cubic feet of passenger space to share, which pans out to:

The Sienna was built to accommodate everyone in your family: grandparents, lanky teenagers, you name it. There’s even enough room in the third row for an adult to sit comfortably!
A lot of space is also allotted for your everyday essentials and adventure gear.
Look at that spacious trunk! There’s ample room for a folded-up stroller, your son’s baseball equipment, or a band instrument. When you fold down the second and third rows, you’ll have plenty of space to move your kid into their college dorm or finally renovate your backyard vegetable garden.
The Sienna’s cabin is spacious enough for friends, family, and furry critters. You may ask yourself, “What’s it like inside the Sienna?” Spoiler alert: Prepare to be comfortable. That goes for everyone!
Let’s start with seating. The driver’s seat is 8-way power-adjustable and has available lumbar support, heating, and ventilation. All seats wear fabric unless SofTex® or leather calls your name. As you sink into your upholstery of choice, take a moment to look out the available moonroof and watch the sky pass by.
Three-zone automatic climate control comes standard, giving rear-seat passengers their own digital control panel to switch the temperature as they wish. Available 4-zone automatic climate control extends this feature to accommodate even more of your family.
A unique feature of the Sienna is the hands-free power sliding side doors and liftgate. The kick-activated dual power sliding doors and rear liftgate open automatically, perfect when you have a sleeping bundle of joy or a bunch of groceries in your arms.
When your whole family is on board, you want two things to be constant: their protection and entertainment. The Toyota Sienna delivers on both, supplying a standard driver-assistance suite and a comprehensive multimedia suite to every trim.
The Sienna offers a slew of technology, even from the base trim! You’ll have a 9-inch touchscreen that pairs with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth®. A built-in navigation system and a 12-speaker JBL® audio system are available.
As you explore the higher rungs of the Sienna, you’ll notice more helpful, user-friendly technology comes on board, including:
Including these features boosts your awareness and stifles any mention of “Are we there yet?”
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 is the Sienna’s standard driver-assistance suite. It comes with many standard features designed to mitigate accidents, provide a clear path ahead, and take the edge off long commutes on unfamiliar roads. Features include:
A Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert also come standard. These features lend a set of eyes to those hard-to-see places, like your flanks and backside. Next time you want to switch lanes on the highway or back out of your parking spot, these features will activate and make sure the coast is clear.
The Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey are popular minivans on the road today. With good reason, of course. Both models offer interior space up the wazoo, standard safety suites, and amenities that make running your family a breeze. However, families who prioritize fuel efficiency and technology will prefer the Toyota.

The Chrysler Pacifica proves to be a big competitor of the Toyota Sienna. After all, it is the most awarded minivan on the market—or so Chrysler wants you to believe. Titles are surface level without the facts to back them up. After getting down to the nitty-gritty, the Toyota Sienna proves to be the underdog that ends up being the big dog.
