If you’ve been keeping up with Toyota lately, you’ll know they’ve resisted the grasp of the all-electric revolution better than anyone. By working diligently on hydrogen propulsion, battery-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, they’ve been allowed to slip under the radar of the rest of the auto industry.

Under its hood, you’ll find a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine flanked by two electric motors, and that’s it. The 36 MPG in the city and the same on the highway when configured in rear-wheel drive should be enough to make up for a paltry 245 horsepower. Zero to 60 is taken care of in the ballpark of 7.5 seconds. Slower than the equivalent Honda Odyssey but on par with the Kia Carnival and faster than the Chrysler Pacifica.

Is Toyota’s reliability what it once was? Well, it’s more of a model-to-model basis these days than an ironclad fact of life nowadays. But the Sienna has always been above the competition in this regard.

It’s a minivan, of course it’s got space for days inside. But on a far less surface-level inquiry, the 2025 Sienna makes good use of interior space, even if it’s not quite as modular or adaptable as, say, an Odyssey or a Pacifica. With seating for seven or eight depending on the trim, second-row passengers have 39.9 inches of usable legroom and only 1.2 inches less in the third.

Fabric seat coverings line the base LE trim’s eight-way adjustable driver’s seat, while plush SofTex vegan leather gives a more premium feel to the subsequent XLE, XSE, and Woodland Edition trims. From there, the Limited trim hugs you with heated and ventilated leather seats, as does the range-topping Platinum trim. Back on the point of great space management, 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row is plenty for grocery shopping or a few kids’ worths of afterschool sports gear.

Got another kid on the way? You could easily fit a crib the size of a small mansion with 101 cubic feet of space on hand with both rows of seats folded. These rear seats can slide just over two feet forward and backward, making legroom jump from economy to premium economy in a hurry if need be.

It won’t matter how many Happy Meals you just picked up. There is a grand total of 18 cupholders scattered throughout all three rows as well as storage compartments galore. All around, it’s a pretty clever use of space. Need to keep snacks cold on a road trip? Toyota’s new FridgeBox is available to keep stuff cold. Need to clean up a mess but nowhere near a carwash? The new vacuum is there to help clean up.

2025 Sienna Technology Features 8.75/10

The base Sienna is separated from the flagship 2025 Sienna by nearly $18,000 worth of tech and features. Given this, it’s understandable to expect a considerable ramp-up through the six trims. The base LE keeps in line with this line of thinking. You get the above-mentioned cloth seats, an eight-inch infotainment screen, a basic six-speaker stereo, and not much else. It’s not exactly lacking, but you can, of course, do better.

All trims above the base use a bigger 12.30-inch touchscreen, and an optional JBL speaker system is optional on the XLE and XSE trims and becomes standard on everything above. USB-C ports are scattered across all rows, and there’s even legacy USB-A connectivity for devices that require it. Lower trims make use of a seven-inch LCD display between analog gauges, and everything above the XLE uses a fully digitized display.

Toyota’s Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver assistants includes pre-collision warnings, dynamic cruise control, lane-departure warnings, automatic high beams and road sign assist. Additionally, a 360-degree camera system helps make every ride a bit safer. Most impressive of all is the Advanced rear seat detection system that uses radar technology to detect movement in the rear seats and alert the driver through a series of escalating alerts.

Optional 11.6-inch HD entertainment displays with two pairs of headphones and HDMI connectivity, the optional 1500-watt inverter with twin 120-volt AC outlets can legitimately run a number of different entertainment gadgets. When combined with onboard Wi-Fi connectivity, the Sienna can keep two kids quieter than any Delta or United flight. Throw a couple of iPad holders behind the twin captain’s chairs and now the third row, and now the kid’s friends can come along for the trip too.

2025 Toyota Sienna Trims and Pricing

2025 Toyota Sienna LE - toyota.com
2025 Toyota Sienna LE - toyota.com

LE – $39,185

Everything you absolutely need a minivan to do, and not much more besides. You do get alloy wheels and remote keyless entry, so that’s a plus. Steep for an entry-level minivan, but sure to hold its value. 

2025 Toyota Sienna XLE - toyota.com
2025 Toyota Sienna XLE - toyota.com

XLE – $43,995

A bit more flair with a power sliding moonroof and sunshade, plus a larger nav screen and SofTex vegan leather seats. A good step up from the base.

2025 Toyota Sienna XSE - toyota.com
2025 Toyota Sienna XSE - toyota.com

XSE – $46,640

How much good does a sport-tuned suspension do for a minivan? Beats us, but it sure is cool to see Toyota be so bold when they traditionally have no reason to be. The dark-painted 20-inch alloy wheels are pretty awesome too.

2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition - toyota.com

Woodland Edition – $50,425

Now, this is something genuinely surprising and equally interesting. A woodland adventure-focused minivan with a lift kit with a tow hitch rated for 3,500 lbs of camper trailer? Toyota is hitting their stride with these cool, unorthodox Sienna trims. We love to see it. Please, Toyota, keep them coming.

2025 Toyota Sienna Limited - toyota.com
2025 Toyota Sienna Limited - toyota.com

Limited – $50,200

More conventional than the Woodland Edition, definitely more luxurious. Leather trimmed front seats with optional leather rear captain’s chairs make the Limited trim a lovely place to spend a road trip inside. As does a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a standard JBL Premium Audio system.

2025 Toyota Sienna Platinum - toyota.com
2025 Toyota Sienna Platinum - toyota.com

Platinum – $56,145

All the bells and whistles of the Limited, plus a ten-inch color heads-up display that makes the one in a fighter jet cockpit look dull. The 360-degree panoramic monitor with top-perspective view is also standard at this trim. For the soccer mom and the super dad who want the very best, the Sienna is a real contender.

Carsforsale.com Overall Value 9/10

Can you put a price on a well-rounded minivan? The kind you can raise your kids with, and potentially last long enough for them to learn how to drive? That’s what Toyota minivans have been historically, and the 2025 example might be the best value yet. Thanks to that shiny, updated interior, this is doubly the case. Throw in the two years of complementary maintenance and 24-hr roadside assistance along with some of the most innovative safety tech in the industry and the long-term value looks pretty good for the Sienna.

The Toyota Sienna is a bread-and-butter vehicle for Toyota. There’d be real problems to pay for slipping on the features or the quality, and it’s nice to see that Toyota’s drive to be clever is still strong in 2025. Couple that with great features, and an uber-interesting Woodland Edition trim, and the Sienna is the umpteenth example of Toyota setting the trend that others follow.

Is it perfect? Not quite. A plug-in hybrid drivetrain would be lovely, and we’re not super thrilled about the eCVT. A proper geared transmission would do wonders to make the Sienna as close to perfect as Toyota could build it. But outside of these little things, there’s not much to complain about. Another A for effort. But in rare form for an automaker these days, the fourth generation Sienna’s followed through in the execution. There’s only a couple of new minivans on the continent right now that have even come close.

As one of the youngest automotive/aerospace journalists in North America, Benny Kirk's writing prowess can only be described as rooted in the deepest pits of nerd and geek culture. Only after he acquired a degree in journalism did his penchant for scouring the internet at two in the morning to learn cool but useless facts about cars, airplanes, spaceships, and computers become remotely useful. But now, Benny has experience under his belt that journalists twice his age can't claim. This includes live coverage at major North American international auto shows, racing events, NASA space launches, and a portfolio of test drives and reviews from major OEMs in both the automotive and powersports sectors. As of recent, he's even started covering nuclear energy news as a special beat project, just for the kick of it. The point is, there's nothing Benny's afraid to write about. But he's more than happy to apply his craft to give some genuinely helpful consumer advice.
