Toyota’s Sienna stands out in the minivan segment thanks to its hybrid powertrain and available all-wheel drive. Like most competitors, it’s available in seven- and eight-seat configurations. Contemporaries include the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Carnival, and Honda Odyssey.
Yes. The Sienna is efficient and well-equipped across the lineup, though it has some quirks and safety concerns. The 2025 Toyota Sienna has a TCC Rating of 6.7 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
Toyota updates the 2025 Sienna with a subtle styling refresh and some new features. Namely, the base LE trim gets a new 8.0-inch touchscreen (down from 9.0 inches), while higher trims get a 12.3-inch version. A new radar-based rear seat reminder system with automated text and phone alerts comes standard across the lineup. A built-in refrigerator and vacuum are now available on the Limited trim and standard on the Platinum. Cabin materials and finishes are updated across the lineup, and the XSE and Woodland trims get minor exterior updates.
The lineup, consisting of base LE, value XLE and XLE Woodland, mid-tier XSE, and top Limited and Platinum trims, carries over. Front-wheel drive is standard, though all-wheel drive can be optioned on every trim.
Exterior design borders on overkill, which keeps the Sienna from achieving a handsome look. The cabin feels cozy bordering on snug up front thanks to the tall center console and horizontal dash, and this year’s updates to the materials and finishes are a welcome change of pace.
The Sienna’s hybrid powertrain makes 245 hp from its 2.5-liter inline-4 engine and electric motors; there are two motors in front-wheel-drive versions and a third when upgraded with AWD. A CVT maximizes efficiency while minimizing potential driving enjoyment, though the Sienna’s suspension and steering tuning provides a smooth ride and composed handling.
The Sienna is EPA-rated at 36 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, the most efficient in the class aside from Chrysler’s plug-in Pacifica Hybrid.
Though the Sienna has comparable space to rivals, at least on paper, Toyota falls short in utilization and flexibility. It’s available with second-row captain’s chairs, for seven-passenger seating, or a row of three seats, for the maximum eight-passenger capacity. Neither configuration is as spacious, as comfortable, or as flexible as the configurations offered by most other minivans.
In 2024 crash tests, the Sienna earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS and a five-star rating from the NHTSA, though both evaluations have footnotes that are worth considering. The Sienna has a competitive list of standard safety technology, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and a new advanced rear occupant alert system.
How much does the 2025 Toyota Sienna cost?
Like most news cars, the Sienna keeps getting more expensive, with a nearly $2,000 price increase for 2025. base Sienna LE costs $40,635, including the $1,450 destination fee. It’s well equipped with cloth upholstery, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Shoppers who need an eight-passenger layout should keep in mind that only the LE and front-wheel-drive XLE have that option. The Platinum is at the top of the lineup, which for about $58,355 adds leather upholstery and JBL audio.
Where is the 2025 Toyota Sienna made?
