Features We Love
- The fuel efficiency is insane. I was getting 32.7 MPG without even trying, and up to 36 MPG with the hybrid, which is wild for a minivan this size. For a 7–8 passenger vehicle, that kind of mileage is a huge win.
- The front row just works. I love the separate climate controls, the clean 12.3-inch screen, wireless CarPlay, wireless charging, and the fact that there are cup holders everywhere. It’s set up for real, busy life.
- So. Much. Storage. The center console is wide and deep, the under-console storage is perfect for bags or snacks, and everything feels functional without feeling cluttered.
- It’s quiet and comfortable to drive. Even on the highway, this van feels calm and relaxing. Around town it feels zippy, and overall it’s just an easy, pleasant vehicle to live with.
- The second row is really well equipped. Ceiling vents, sunshades, cup holders, USB-C ports, and rear climate controls are all exactly where you want them. I also love that the rear entertainment screen is on the ceiling instead of the headrests, which is way more car-seat-friendly.
- Car seat hardware is solid. You get lower anchors in both second-row captain’s chairs, lower anchors in the third-row outboard seats, and tether anchors across all three third-row seating positions, which is a big improvement over older Siennas.
- Third-row access is doable with car seats installed. The second-row seats slide far forward and have a lever that folds and moves the seat out of the way, though it’s not a true car-seat-friendly tilt and can feel a little clunky.
- The trunk is exactly what you want in a minivan. It’s deep, wide, and easy to use, and the third row stows right into the floor. With those seats down, you’ve got massive cargo space for real life.
Car Mom Review
The Exterior
From the outside, the Sienna isn’t my favorite design. It definitely looks like a minivan, and the lower ground clearance took some getting used to since I’m usually in SUVs. That said, once you factor in the hybrid efficiency and all-wheel drive, the look becomes a tradeoff I’m willing to make. It may not be the prettiest van in the lineup, but it’s incredibly practical for everyday life.

First Row
The first row of the Sienna is really well done and feels very intentional. I love that the climate controls are separate and easy to use, and the 12.3-inch screen is clean, responsive, and not overwhelming. There are cup holders everywhere, which matters more than people think when you’re juggling coffee, water bottles, and kids. Between the wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging pad, and all the USB-C ports, staying charged is never an issue. Add in the wide center console and under-console storage, and it just works !
Second Row
- Super comfortable and well equipped, with ceiling vents, sunshades, cup holders, USB-C ports, and rear climate controls that make it just as pleasant back here as the front row.
- Strong car seat hardware: both second-row captain’s chairs have lower anchors and tether anchors, which gives you solid, flexible install options.
- Third-row access is possible with car seats installed because the seats slide far forward and fold out of the way, but it’s not a true car-seat-friendly tilt and takes a little effort.
- I do like that the seat belt is attached to the seat, which means a forward-facing car seat can move with the seat and still allow access when needed.
- Overall, it’s comfortable and practical, but not the most versatile second row if you’re constantly juggling car seats and third-row access.
Third Row
The third row in the Sienna is surprisingly comfortable, even for adults, with solid legroom and a calm, quiet ride. I love that there are ceiling vents, cup holders, and USB ports back there!
From a car seat perspective, you do get tether anchors across all third-row seating positions and lower anchors on the outboard seats, which is a big improvement over older models.
That said, the shape of the outboard seats can make certain car seats tricky due to overhang, so it’s one of those rows where fit really matters.

Trunk
The Sienna also adds helpful new convenience features like an available built-in vacuum and fridge, making everyday cleanups and keeping drinks or snacks cool way easier on the go.
