2022 Toyota Sienna

- The hybrid is the headline! The Sienna is only available as a four-cylinder hybrid for 2021 and beyond.
- AWD is available.
- It has amazing fuel efficiency for a minivan, with every 2022 Sienna coming standard as a hybrid and averaging up to 36–37 MPG, which is hard to beat in a 7–8 passenger vehicle.
- The exterior design is not my favorite, and the lower ground clearance took some getting used to since I’m typically in SUVs, but the efficiency makes that tradeoff easier to accept.
- The second row is extremely comfortable and well equipped, with ceiling vents, sunshades, cup holders, USB ports, and an outlet, making it just as pleasant to sit back there as it is up front.
- Third-row access is acheivable even with car seats installed because the second-row seats slide far forward and have a lever that folds and moves the seat out of the way.
- Car seat hardware is strong throughout the van, with lower anchors in both second-row captain’s chairs and lower anchors in the third-row outboard seats, plus tether anchors across all third-row seating positions.
The Exterior
The exterior of the 2022 Toyota Sienna is not my favorite. The front end feels like a lot, with some harsh angles, and the low ground clearance took some getting used to since I’m usually in SUVs. I do like that they hid the sliding door track in the window because it cleans up the side profile. And the taillights are actually my favorite part, they give me total Lexus RX vibes.
First Row
The first row of the 2022 Sienna feels comfortable and thoughtfully designed. I like the contrast of the gray leather, stitching, faux leather, and the embedded chrome because it gives it a clean, modern look. The seats are very comfortable, and I’m obsessed with the quilted texture and the built-in armrests. I love the bridge-style center console, the purse holder, and the fact that I have four cup holders within reach, because I never leave the house without both water and coffee. Overall, it’s a really functional and comfortable place to sit.
Second Row
The second row in the 2022 Toyota Sienna is very comfortable and packed with practical features. I spent time back here myself, and it genuinely feels comparable to the front seat in terms of comfort.
- The second-row seats are on long tracks and slide a significant distance forward and backward, which helps with loading kids, car seat installs, and third-row access.
- Because the seat belts are attached to the seats instead of the ceiling, I was able to move the seat even with a car seat installed using the seat belt.
- I installed both rear-facing and forward-facing car seats and still had good legroom, even with the front seat set for me at six feet tall.
- Second-row amenities are excellent, including ceiling vents, sunshades, cup holders, two USB ports, an outlet, and climate controls up top.
- I love the little door cup holders and back seat pockets, and I was surprised by how many small storage spots there are back here.
- One thing to note is door clearance. I found it a little harder to load kids because the sliding door doesn’t open quite as far as I would like.
Car seat hardware is strong throughout the van, with lower anchors in both second-row captain’s chairs and lower anchors in the third-row outboard seats, plus tether anchors across all third-row seating positions.
Overall, the second row is extremely comfortable and functional, with strong amenities and flexible seating. The long slide and seat-mounted seat belts make it workable for car seats, even if loading can feel a bit tight at times.
Third Row
The third row of the 2022 Toyota Sienna is actually very usable. I was able to sit back there comfortably, even with a rear-facing car seat installed and the front seat set for me at six feet tall. You get ceiling vents back here, which I really appreciate, along with USB and USB-C ports, cup holders, and tether anchors for forward-facing car seats. Overall, it feels like a functional space for kids and car seats, not just a backup row.
Trunk
The trunk in the 2022 Toyota Sienna is exactly why minivans win. I fit a massive double BOB jogging stroller back here with room left over for groceries, which is saying a lot. The cargo area is deep, and the seats fold flat easily to open up even more space. I also love that you get a light and an outlet back here, which makes it even more practical for everyday life.
Safety
The 2022 Toyota Sienna is an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus.
