If you need space for people and stuff, there is no better vehicle out there than a minivan. And if you want a hybrid, there's no one doing it better than Toyota.

In addition to a new Heavy Metal paint color, there are a lot of new standard features on the Sienna. The LE (base) gains 2 extra speakers (8 total), roof rails, an auto-dimming mirror with Homelink, a power tailgate, rear window shades, a windshield, and a 1 year Remote Connect trial. The XSE gains roof rails and turn signals in the mirrors, and the XLE gains roof rails, turn signals in the mirrors, and a 12-speaker JBL sound system.

The Sienna is still using Toyota's hybrid system II, with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, a nickel-metal hydride battery and two or three motors depending on drivetrain, as it's offered in either front-wheel or all-wheel-drive. Combined system output is 245-hp, and an eCVT is the only transmission option.

Toyota has renewed the Sienna family van for 2026. Here's what's new for the model...including the jump in prices.
LE Grade Adds Value with 8-speaker Audio System, Power Rear Door, Rear Window Shades, Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror, and Windshield Wiper De-icer Now Standard

- My wife and I have one of these ordered that will be delivered at the end of the month. I am not too happy about some of the basic features being locked by subscription. Like the ability to start your car on the key fob is a subscription feature? That’s absolutely a trash business practice and scummy. We are paying 60k plus for this vehicle that should not have basic stuff be subscription based. Both my ford trucks have ford connect and it’s 100% free and it is very detailed and filled with features.
- Love the style of your video making content. Specially the key fob one. These sort things barely exists on YouTube. Please make a separate video on 2026 Kia Carnival Gas model or make a comparison video.
- Just purchased a 26 Le Sienna, heavy metal, only thing I wished they include or as an option is the 360 camera and smart key for all doors. Just make life that much easier especially for a large van. I added led fog lights and turn signal mirrors. Thrilled that it gets 36 mpg average .

- Actually, not being the newer platform means it’s a good thing it Me said he’s been operating awesome and amazing. They usually change the platforms when the current platforms had issues. A lot of people don’t know that, but that’s usually the main motivating factor behind a redesign and then rather than say, they’re fixing a problemthey go ahead and add additional features and make it look newer so it’s still a win-win improvement. I would love to have one of these minivan with that one thing that holds me back as I do not like that second row seating does not hold down that was the dealbreaker for me and I wish Toyota would fix that.
