The 2026 Toyota Sienna minivan comes only as a gas-electric hybrid. It seats up to seven or eight occupants, depending on trim, with either a bench seat or captain’s chairs in the second row. It comes in front-wheel drive (FWD) or in all-wheel drive (AWD). While minivans aren’t as popular as they used to be, they’re still a top-notch choice for moving a crowd, and Toyota’s version is a viable contender in this segment.
All Sienna trims use a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that, on its own, makes 189 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. When working with the hybrid motor, that rises to a combined 245 horsepower. The engine/motor combination drives the front wheels through an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), while AWD models further add another electric motor at the rear to power those wheels as needed for traction. The hybrid nickel-hydride battery self-charges using regenerative braking, capturing energy otherwise wasted during deceleration and storing it, so the Sienna doesn’t get plugged in.
Acceleration is strong, although the engine is growly. The system automatically switches between driving on gasoline, electricity, or a combination, depending on driving conditions. An “EV Mode” button keeps the system on electric-only at low speeds, although it seems pointless; the system does that anyway on its own, and if you exceed its speed limit or press the accelerator too firmly, the EV Mode shuts off. Towing capacity is a maximum of 3,500 lbs (1,587 kg).
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) rates the 2026 Sienna in FWD at 6.6 L/100 km city, 6.5 highway, and 6.6 combined, for an estimated annual fuel cost of $1,980. The AWD model scores only minimally higher, at 6.8 city, 6.7 highway, and 6.8 combined, for an estimated $2,040 per year. The Sienna takes regular-grade, 87-octane gasoline.
The Sienna is a large vehicle, but its hybrid powertrain is strong enough to handle highway passing as well as everyday traffic. As hybrids do, it switches automatically between gasoline, electricity, or both, although it can get surprisingly noisy when its growly engine starts up. There isn’t much steering feel, but it responds accurately and predictably to steering input, and with a relatively tight turning circle that makes it easier to handle in tight parking lots. The ride is smooth over all but the roughest pavement; the brakes have a confident feel; and visibility is good. Overall, it’s just how you’d expect a family van to behave.
The entry LE trim includes an eight-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, seven USB charging ports, tri-zone climate control, seven-inch digital instrument cluster, heated front seats, power driver’s seat, and wireless phone charger. Upper trims can add faux-leather upholstery, power passenger seat, ventilated front seats, heated second-row ottoman-style seats, heated steering wheel, four-zone climate control, 12.3-inch touchscreen, rear entertainment system, and premium audio. At its highest level, the Sienna has a head-up display, refrigerated compartment, and onboard vacuum.
The Sienna has a great deal of storage space, including a huge lidded centre console box, a large open area under the console, and cupholders everywhere, including four in that front console alone. The first- and second-row seats are comfortable, while the third row is roomy but the cushions are hard. The climate system uses toggle switches for several functions, and the centre touchscreen has simple menus with large icons, plus a dial for stereo volume.
Headroom is 1,019 mm (40.1 inches) in the first row; 998 mm (39.3 in) in the second; and 949 mm (37.4 in) in the third. For legroom, front-seat passengers get 1,023 mm (40.3 in); in the second row it’s 1,013 mm (39.9 in); and 982 mm (38.7 in) in the third. Cargo volume is 949 litres (33.5 cubic feet) with the third row upright; 2,129 litres (75.2 cu.ft.) when they’re folded; and 2,860 litres (101.0 cu.ft.) when the second row is folded down. The second-row seats can be removed if you need a flat cargo floor, although it’s not an easy job.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the 2026 Sienna its highest five-star rating in crash testing. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives it the top “Good” in its small front overlap and side tests, but “Marginal” in its updated moderate front overlap, which now assesses potential injury to a rear-seat passenger as well as to those in front. It gets “Good” for its headlights and “Good+” for how easy it is to use its child-seat tether anchors, but the next-step-down “Acceptable” for how its emergency front braking recognizes pedestrians.
Standard driver-assist features include emergency front braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane tracing assist, tire pressure monitoring system, and mandatory rearview camera. The top Limited trim further adds rear cross-traffic braking, and panoramic camera with washer.
Consumer Reports gives the 2026 Sienna a “Recommended” badge and a predicted reliability rating of 59/100, saying it expects it to have “about average reliability when compared to the average new car,” based on data from the 2023 through 2025 models. J.D. Power gave it an “Average” rating of 71/100 for Quality & Reliability, based on feedback from vehicle owners.
Only a handful of automakers still offer minivans, and all of them should be cross-shopped against the Sienna to see which one is best for your needs.
Model | Data Rating | Starting Price | Why Compare | Features |
Honda Odyssey | ★★★★☆ 3.7 | $51,420 | Smooth ride, comfy interior | 929L behind third row |
Kia Carnival | ★★★★☆ 3.5 | $42,445 | Available hybrid powertrain | 12.3-inch infotainment screen |
Chrysler Pacifica | ★★★★☆ 3.7 | $54,900 | Upscale cabin | Stow 'n Go seats |
The 2026 Toyota Sienna starts in LE trim at $49,370 in FWD, and at $51,210 in AWD. At the upper end, the Limited and Platinum, both in AWD-only, are $66,355 and $71,168, respectively.
Those who want eight-passenger seating must look at the LE trims, or at the next-step-up XLE, which comes only in FWD at $51,260. Seven-passenger seating arrives with the XSE, at $54,420 in FWD, and at $56,560 in AWD. If that configuration meets your needs, the XSE AWD is likely the best deal for many buyers. The AWD system works well for foul-weather traction, and while the XSE FWD sports 20-inch wheels, the AWD carries 18-inch rims. They may not look as fancy, but they’ll provide a smoother ride, and you’ll pay less for winter or replacement tires.
The days of minivans being inexpensive people-movers are over, and drivers have to balance their budget against the performance and features they want. The Sienna’s hybrid-only powertrain saves money on fuel, while providing a good driving experience. The entry LE has more features than you often find on a base model, but the next-step-up XLE adds some that can make life easier for parents, such as a hands-free liftgate and sliding side doors. It would be even better if it came with AWD, and if that’s a gotta-have then you have to move up a trim level. Be sure to cross-shop the Sienna, because although this segment isn’t as large as it used to be, the competition is still fierce.
