The Toyota Sienna rolls into the new model year with a handful of well-judged updates. Most eye-catching is a new Heavy Metal paint option, offered across nearly the entire lineup, giving the minivan a sharper presence without shouting about it.The entry-level Sienna LE now feels notably better equipped. It adds a rear window sunshade, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a HomeLink garage-door opener, a power liftgate, a heated windshield, black roof rails, and a complimentary one-year subscription to a remote access service. Taken together, these features make everyday errands a little easier and long trips a touch more comfortable.Climb to the XLE or XSE and you’ll find turn signal indicators integrated into the side mirrors, plus roof rails as standard. The XSE also steps up with a JBL premium audio system, the sort of upgrade families notice on the first road trip.Under the hood, the 2026 Toyota Sienna is now hybrid-only. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder pairs with an electronic continuously variable transmission, delivering a combined 245 hp. Average fuel consumption ranges from 9.4 to 10 L/100 km, depending on whether you choose front- or all-wheel drive. For a people mover, that balance of efficiency and usable power feels right on target.Inside, the Sienna keeps pace with modern expectations. Every trim includes a convenient Qi wireless charging slot, along with USB-C and USB-A ports for fast charging and data. Higher grades add a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that can be tailored to the driver’s preferences—useful when you’re juggling navigation, driver-assist info, and trip data.The Platinum model leans into comfort with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a powerful JBL sound system. Meanwhile, the Woodland Edition stands out with increased ground clearance and practical styling cues—touches that will appeal to those who split their time between city streets and rougher backroads.On the tech front, Toyota’s infotainment supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while voice commands handle key functions without a fuss. There’s also Wi-Fi Connect for an onboard hotspot, keeping passengers online on the move.Safety remains a focal point: the 2026 Sienna is offered with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite, which includes a pre-collision warning system, lane-keeping assistance, and a blind-spot monitor. It’s the kind of coverage that lightens the mental load during busy commutes and family trips alike.
