The #ToyotaSienna has comfortably been a safe choice in the minivan world and while the current model had been around for 10 years, its competitors have always been slightly more appealing in the key aspects that minivan shoppers looked at. For 2021, #Toyota hopes to change that with the all-new 4th-generation #SiennaHybrid, the old V6 has been dropped and while power is down, fuel economy is up to a whopping 36 MPG combined which makes the new #SiennaXSE the most fuel-efficient minivan in the segment.

Who else is loving the fresh new entries in the minivan segment? The Toyota Sienna is now the newest offering and it also happens to be the most fuel efficient! We think Toyota has made the right move here by making it a hybrid only, stay tuned for our full driving impressions on the 2021 Pacifica next month!

love my 2009 Sienna...still going strong at 210,000 miles--runs like a dream.
I bought the 2021 XLE AWD version about a week ago. We are in love with this vehicle because of the below reasons 1) Kids love the two Capitain seats in second row which slides back a lot and give them a lot of space to put their backpacks and instrumentals etc 2) as a hybrid car, we got great gas mileage at around 35 mpg 3) acceleration is good and the car runs very quietly 4) all the technology such as Apple CarPlay and the 7 USB charging ports 5) and I actually like the new look of the 2021 model, looks like a SUV. The couple things that I wish this car has are 1) seat position memory buttons are not offered 2) the foot-operate door open sensors are nice but sometimes it does not seem to work very well (maybe I need to practice a little more)

Although I will miss that IS sportiness ;) with as many family trips we take the 35/36 mpg is amazing with all the room and versatility you get. The only “negative” I’ve come across so far is the 10-20% mpg drop you get in cold weather, but that’s for any hybrid. Overall, love it!

Definitely a win/win considering the MPG estimates. Love the center console and the 2nd row seating option. Am a sedan driver by passion but this is closer to it than an SUV.
I have the 2022 Sienna Limited. I’m a dad. This car is so good looking that I don’t feel like I’m driving a van. I get 44mpg on average. I love this car so much. I love your video review. Very informative, well spoken and presented. I saw your video even before I bought my car and it influenced my purchase. Thank you.
You are the only reviewer test and compare door shutting sound, thank you!
Best minivan all around. Reliable by a HUGE margin. Awesome new design
Great review. Thank you. After watching many reviews, we just bought our 2021 Sienna XLS in the Predawn gray with the plus pkg. It’s a great vehicle. I’m 38 with 3 kids and struggled initially with the stigma of vans... until I saw the new model. We have a ‘16 Sequoia Lmtd, and after looking at other SUVS for our second car, we didn’t want 2 SUVs burning through gas. I buckled down and embraced my decision. I’m feelin’ this van for sure! Driven over 100mi, and the needle still hasn’t budged!
If I was getting a van, this would be the one! Looks great!
I just picked up our new 2021 Sienna XSE Hybrid with technology package. We already went on a 400mi trip and back already. Great van. Great drive. Handled really well. It responded when I wanted horse power on the highway. The only issues I've found so far is that we used to have a 2017 Sienna XLE, and with that 2017 Sienna, we were able to stick a USB thumb drive into the USB port, and could play MPEG4 cartoons for the kids to watch on the wider screen in the middle row. With this 2021 model, we weren't able to do that as you could only play video files through HDMI. (I still haven't been able to find an adaptor to play my USB thumb drive via HDMI). Also, this XSE model doesn't have the "power folding and extending" function for the outside rear view mirrors. It also doesn't have "driving position memory". Both of those were available on the 2017 XLE. Overall, the van was great. My kids would love it more if we could play their favourite cartoons on the USB thumb drive. Does anybody have the answer?
This looks like one of those cool JDM minivans. It's busy, but very different. I like it.

Will be interesting to see the vlogs of ppl living in this. See how they build it out.
The engineers did a nice job. While the V6's passing is lamented, I understand the efficiency and product differentiation they went after. Would have been a good idea if the Highlander + Sienna teams had done the legwork on eliminating a couple hundred pounds of weight though (4600lbs is POR-KY!)
I really love the new design language Toyota has been going with!
If I ever get a minivan it will be one of these.
I have been going back and forth between the Carnival, Pacifica and Sienna. For me all of them have a compromise. I want an AWD with good mileage with great interior build quality. If only Sienna made their interior better or on PAR with the other competition HOWEVER the interior build quality is trash compared to Carnival and Pacifica; this is from the Platinum trim which cost +/- $55k OTD. Carnival is very luxurious but no AWD and MPG is not great. Pacifica you can only have one or the other; AWD bad MPG or no AWD great MPG (plug in hybrid).
It offers features not found in competitors 1. Head up display 2. Rear camera mirror 3. 4 zone climate 4. Power tilt telescope wheel with memory Also now the Highlander hybrid is practically useless...

For a minivan looks real good
That’s one sexy mini van
That is the mini van i want to drive. Very good looking.
Thanks for THE best reviews of this car out there (that I’ve seen) You did your homework and actually compared it to the outgoing van too. Which is awesome! Because a lot of us who buy the Sienna is upgrading from a Sienna! Some of the questions I ask is, is it worth the upgrade from my current version, will my family benefit? The question of should I switch to a competitor? Is more about brand reputation and reliability of the vehicle. Although I am not super happy with the reliability of my 2014 Sienna, I also hear horrible things about the competition. So a lingering question is, how is the new platform on reliability? My previous Toyotas have all gone 200k+ without problems, is the new one going to be just as reliable? I have a family with kids, I dont have time to spend with a broken car in the dealership. I too hoped that Toyota would have made this a plug in hybrid! Just 20 miles on electric only would be awesome!!! I am hoping they will do this in an upgrade in 2-3 years.
Rear wiper on previous generation was nicely hidden. Now it is exposed.
The design has Lexus vibe in it
Rented this for a road trip. Absolutely phenomenal
