2025 Toyota Sienna

This 2025 Toyota Sienna may have fewer minivans to compete against these days, yet it does have to go up against three-row utility vehicles which are becoming more and more family friendly.

But the minivan is still king when it comes to flexibility and ease of use, and since Toyota has recently made a few updates to the Sienna to keep it a top contender for families, we quickly jumped aboard for a Quick Spin.

Updates mostly revolve around safety and tech these days; and for the ’25 Sienna that means upgrading the multimedia system to latest specs and adding a new rear seat reminder.

Rather than simple seat sensors, Toyota’s Advanced Rear Seat Reminder system has active radar incorporated into the headliner that scans second- and third-row seats for movement, and will initiate an escalating series of warnings if it detects movement when the car is turned off, parked, and locked; and will even contact you through the Toyota app.

There’s also a new available onboard Vacuum and FridgeBox, plus more upscale materials and new wheels for Woodland Edition and Platinum Siennas. And additional features such as Toyota’s digital gauge cluster are available on more trims. But all grades get a tightening up of fit-and-finish throughout the cabin.
Same 245-horsepower 2.5-liter I4 based hybrid engine as before with available all-wheel drive, delivering up to 36 mpg.

BRIAN ROBINSON: “With nothing really changing in the engine or suspension department, the driving experience is pretty much the same which is a good thing. The hybrid powertrain overdelivers in a lot of ways and the ride quality is as good as it gets in the minivan segment.”

2025 Toyota Siennas are available now with prices starting around $40,000.

And we’ll have more Quick Spins…soon!
