The Sienna is only available as a hybrid. It has 245 horsepower and gets great gas mileage in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. Toyota’s minivan is like a lounge on wheels, with most of the comforts of home that families can enjoy while moving. On higher trim levels, there are ottomans in the second row, a refrigerator, and a built-in vacuum cleaner. Only when the gasoline engine is moving quickly does it make an annoying droning noise. Other than that, the Sienna is comfortable and stylish, but it’s not very fun to drive. The Sienna is on our 2025 Editors’ Choice list because it is our top pick in the minivan market, which is very competitive. The Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and Kia Carnival are also on the list. What's New? The inside of the Sienna will be changed for 2025. All of them have up-to-date information and an Advanced Rear Seat Reminder feature that will call or text you if you miss the notice in the car. Millimeter-wave radar is used in this role to find people who have been left behind. The Sienna also has Toyota’s newest entertainment system. The LE models have an 8.0-inch tablet, and all the other trims have a 12.3-inch screen. The Platinum trim comes with a fridge and a vacuum cleaner that is already built in. The Limited trim, on the other hand, has standard USB-C ports and more powerful wireless charging for smartphones. Pros and Cons Pros Standard efficiency of a hybrid engine. So much space. Possible to get FWD and AWD. Cons The third row has little windows. The second row can’t be taken off. Not as advanced as other companies. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The only way to get the Sienna since it was redesigned in 2021 is as a hybrid. The car has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that work together to make 245 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard on all models. This adds a third electric motor to power the back wheels without increasing the total output. There isn’t much to say about driving the Sienna, but the ride is comfortable without being too smooth. Safety Parking sensors and a 360-degree camera system are available as options for added convenience. The Sienna comes standard with ten airbags, blind-spot tracking, rear-cross-traffic alert, and Toyota’s Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assistance systems. The following are important safety features: Most automatic emergency brakes can tell who is on the road. Standard lane exit warning and help staying in your lane. It comes with adaptive speed control. Internal and External Cargo Capacity Toyota gave the Sienna’s interior a lot of storage space, with a huge center bench that goes from the dashboard to the first row of seats and a big open storage space below. There are also 18 cupholders in the cabin. Unlike the Odyssey and Pacifica Hybrid, the Sienna’s second-row seats can’t be taken out. This may be a problem for people who move a lot of goods. The captain’s chairs in the second row can move 25 inches forward and backward, which is like a prize for being upset. This makes room for more stuff behind the second seat and more legroom in all three rows of seats. The Kia Carnival has 40 cubic feet of space behind the third row, but this one only has 34. The second-row seats in both the Limited and Platinum grades can be folded down and have ottomans that pop up. The Platinum grade also has a refrigerator and a vacuum cleaner. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The front drive of the Sienna gets 36 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, which is the best gas mileage of any people-hauler in its class. The city measure goes down by one mpg when all-wheel drive is added. Our Platinum long-term all-wheel-drive test car got an average of 29 mpg over 40,000 km. An all-wheel-drive Sienna got 33 mpg on a 75-mile highway in our test. Infotainment and Connectivity The Sienna LE’s infotainment tablet is only 8.0 inches, while all the others have 12.3-inch screens. There is an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot and a SiriusXM satellite radio. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa are also basic link options. There is a USB-A port in the center for older devices, and USB-C ports are spread out all over the van’s interior. The base stereo has six speakers, while the XLE models have eight. Both the Limited and the Platinum come with a 12-speaker JBL sound system. The XLE and XSE can also get one. In-dash navigation is standard on all grades except the base LE, and all grades come with an entertainment system in the back seat with an 11.6-inch screen. Upper trims have a fully digital cluster of gauges, while LE and XLE models have a 7.0-inch display in the middle of the cluster of gauges that looks like an instrument. Platinum comes with a head-up display already installed. Range, Charging, and Battery Life In an all-wheel-drive Sienna Limited, it took us 7.5 seconds to reach 60 mph. That is faster than the Pacifica Hybrid and about the same speed as the Kia Carnival. However, it is slower than the Honda Odyssey, which is the hot rod in this class. Price and How to Choose There are a lot of different trims and choices that can change how much the 2025 Toyota Sienna costs. If you want sportier seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen screen, captain’s chairs in the second row, and Toyota’s “one-motion-stow” third row, the XSE is the way to go. A stiffer suspension, more aggressive front and rear bumpers, and 20-inch wheels are some of the other changes. The XSE and all other Sienna models come with a standard front-wheel drive, but an all-wheel drive is a good addition that costs less than $1,000.
