2025 Toyota Sienna

Performance 

All Sienna models feature a hybrid drivetrain consisting of a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve inline-four engine combined with two front electric motors for front-wheel drive models (FWD) and a third rear-mounted motor on AWD models, eliminating the need for a driveshaft to transfer power to the rear wheels. The motors receive energy from a sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride (No-MH) battery and all power is controlled by a continuously variable transmission. Total system power is 245 horsepower and is rated as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV). AWD is available for every grade and standard on the Woodland Edition. 

Given how well electrification fits a minivan’s mission of grocery trips, taking kids to schools and school activities, picking up items from the home improvement store, and so on, it is no wonder that the Sienna has an all-hybrid model line. These in-town driving tasks are where hybrid drivetrains shine brightly, with an EPA-estimated 36 mpg (35 with AWD). With its vast amount of space for people and things, the Sienna is a road-trip vehicle that eases travel costs. 

The Sienna rides on four-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson struts up front and a rear multi-link arrangement. Brakes are generously sized with 12.9-inch ventilated front rotors and 12.5-inch ventilated rear rotors. 

Exterior 

All minivans are essentially large containers of space on wheels, and the Sienna is no exception—yet its design from CALTY’s Newport Beach design studio enhances its proportions with a sleek, pointed front end and notable contouring leading to the rear wheels in which reflective highlights lead straight into the tail light’s LED bars (XLE and above grades). Unbroken privacy-glass window treatment from the A- to D-pillars looks clean. Depending on the grade, you will find 17-, 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels and black or chrome roof rails with matching trim and badges.  

Dual power sliding side doors are standard on all models, with a hands-free opening feature standard on several grades. A power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade is available or standard on all models.  

Interior 

The inside of the Sienna shines brightly with a multitude of standard and available features. Standard seating is for eight, but you can opt for seven with second-row captain’s chairs. On the Platinum grade, those Captain’s chairs become leather-covered recliners with built-in ottomans to rest your feet. Across the model line, seating surfaces range from fabric to easy-to-clean SofTex (with accent stitching) to leather, including a striking Macadamia and Black combination. An eight-way power adjustable driver seat is standard, with heated and ventilated functions for both front seats added on upper grades. Second-row heated captain’s chairs are also available. Tri-zone automatic climate control is standard with four-zone available on upper grades. Standard on the Platinum and available on the Limited is a vacuum and FridgeBox built into the front console.  

Behind the third row is 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The third-row seat is split 60/40 so you can seat one or two people and still expand your cargo space. With the entire third row folded into the floor, there is 75.2 cubic feet of space. Turn the Sienna into a two-seater and you have a 101-cubic-foot warehouse behind you. If you are more interested in what you can carry behind your Sienna, all grades are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds.  

Technology 

The Sienna LE features an 8.0-inch touchscreen, while XLE and above grades have a large 12.3-inch center screen. There is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a USB media port, and six USB charge ports to keep everyone’s phones and devices charged. SXE and above grades also have a configurable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster for the driver. Naturally, there is hands-free phone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth, and available SiriusXM with a 3-month trial subscription.  

Because the Sienna’s cabin is big and can be full of people, a useful available feature is Driver Easy Speak, in which with the push of a button, the driver’s words will come through all the cabin’s speakers, so you never have to yell again just to be heard. Another useful available feature is the 1500W outlet in the rear that can provide power for a laptop or other devices when parked.  

Audio starts with a six-speaker system for the LE, bumping up to eight speakers for the XLE, and topping out on Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum grades with a standard twelve-speaker JBL audio system featuring a powered subwoofer. Also available in these grades is the Entertainment Package which includes a drop-down 1080p HD 11.6-inch display, HDMI input, remote, and two wireless headphones. 

Safety and Driver Awareness  

All Sienna grades come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of safety and driver assistance technologies including: 

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection 

• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control  

• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist 

• Lane Tracing Assist 

• Automatic High Beams 

• Road Sign Assist 

More standard features include: ten airbags, blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert (to help you back out of parking spots), and front and rear parking assist with automatic braking (XLE and above). New for 2025 is the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder sensor which uses 60GHz band millimeter-wave radar to scan the second and third row seats for potential movement. If movement is detected and the driver’s door has been opened then closed and the vehicle has been locked, the Sienna will alert the driver to check the rear seat.   

Grades 

The Sienna is available in the base but well-equipped LE, feature added, XLE, sport-leaning XSE, outdoors-focused Woodlands Edition, luxurious Limited, and very Luxurious Platinum. All models have the hybrid drivetrain and a choice of FWD or AWD except the Woodlands Edition which has standard AWD.
