Redesigned for 2021, the Toyota Sienna is a family-friendly minivan that comes with frugal hybrid power and offers all-wheel drive (AWD). Clean lines inside echo sharp styling outside. There’s plenty of room, with seating for up to eight passengers.
A 2.5-liter inline-4 paired with an electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack powers all Sienna models. The setup is good for 245 net horsepower delivered to the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
One note: Trim level availability and pricing may vary in markets across the country.
