    Well, a 1.6 L turbo is going to be a lot to be pushing around that nearly 5000 pound vehicle. Yes it does have the hybrid system to help give it a little extra boost when needed but that is a lot of minivan for such a small displacement! Also Completely missed opportunity, for an all wheel drive minivan for hybrid or the gas version. My guess the gas mileage combined for that vehicle may be 27 miles per gallon. Maybe 29 if you are really easy on it. But all you have to do is look at the Kia Sportage hybrid and you will get your mileage from that motor because it is the same motor and transmission but you have a lot more weight with this minivan, I will say absolute great design on the interior and exterior .

For their car lineup like the Kona/Niro, Tuscon and Sportage can stay at a 1.6L engine... but whatever. When the Carnival is due for a redesign, I hope that the Carnival will get a really good AWD, PHEV/HEV model 3-4 years from now.

    Toyota Sienna will always have a better hybrid system (cough cough, HSG, cough cough) and it is better on paper because it offers AWD. AWD might not offer much practical advantage, but Americans sure do love it. Kia sure does make a great looking minivan and having it in a hybrid makes it more competitive, but a big misstep to not offer it in AWD as well. Sienna still wins.

    Toyota transmission problems have been cropping up in 2017 to 2020 models of certain vehicles. There have been a number of complaints about the power train made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but no safety recalls to date. The Toyota transmission complaints over the past several years have been so numerous that attorneys are now assembling complainants to join a class action lawsuit against Toyota. The most common Toyota transmission problems logged with the NHTSA involve a lack of power or acceleration in the vehicles, or the automatic transmission remaining “stuck” in a particular gear. Models Impacted by Toyota Transmission Problems Attorneys assembling a class action lawsuit against Toyota as of September 2020 have identified the following vehicles that are struggling with the transmission issues listed above: 2017 to 2020 Toyota Highlander 2017 to 2020 Toyota Sienna 2018 to 2020 Toyota Avalon 2019 Toyota RAV4

    The design in 2024 was better. For 2025, it seems they simply followed the instructions of executives who don't understand design: "Make it more intricate and complicated." A good design is clean, with lines that follow the flow. Nowadays, cars are a mess. I refuse to buy a Sienna simply because it's ridiculous with those abruptly changing direction lights that try to emulate a jet turbine. It's childish.
