Pros
- Refined ride quality imparts comfort and confidence
- V6 provides quick acceleration
- Still the only minivan to offer all-wheel drive
Cons
- Second-row seats are bulky, heavy and awkward to remove
- Offers fewer features than some newer competitors
What's new
- Amazon Alexa functionality and Apple CarPlay come standard
- All-wheel drive optional on SE trims
- Part of the third-generation Sienna introduced for 2011
Somewhere on the automotive timeline, owning a minivan changed from smart and sensible family transportation to an admission of suburban defeat, a shift in attitude that in part explains the popularity of crossover SUVs. That's a shame really since a minivan like the 2019 Toyota Sienna offers features such as sliding side doors, easy entry and exit, and massive interior space that just make life easier for active families.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2019 Toyota Sienna CE Fleet Cargo Van 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.20 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Large Minivan
The Sienna's stout V6 gives it the power of a comparable SUV, and its eight-speed transmission helps maximize fuel economy. The Sienna has long held an edge on its rivals by offering optional all-wheel drive, and for 2019 that option expands to its sporty SE trim level as well.
The Sienna can seat up to eight passengers inside, although optional second-row captain's chairs mean more room for seven passengers to spread out. For 2019, the Sienna also gets a tech upgrade with Amazon Alexa voice-assistant integration, as well as Apple CarPlay. The latter is a welcome addition since it gives iPhone owners a way to largely bypass using Toyota's otherwise mediocre Entune infotainment system.
The Sienna remains a solid choice, but it's one of the oldest minivan designs on the road. Its last redesign was in 2011, while key competitors including the Honda Odyssey, Kia Sedona and Chrysler Pacifica all boast newer and more modern designs.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
7.3 / 10Trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Toyota Sienna Limited Premium (3.5L V6 | 8-speed automatic | FWD).
Scorecard
Overall | 7.3 / 10 |
Driving | 7.0 |
Comfort | 7.5 |
Interior | 7.5 |
Utility | 8.0 |
Technology | 7.0 |
Driving
7.0This 3.5-liter V6 allows the Sienna to keep pace with the quickest minivans on the market, though the transmission's operations sometimes leave a little to be desired. The Sienna leans a lot when going around turns, but this attribute is shared by all minivans.
Acceleration
8.0There's enough power for your typical driving situations, and the V6 engine feels quite lively at full throttle. We clocked a 0-60 mph sprint of 7.8 seconds, which is respectably quick for a family hauler.
Braking
7.5The Sienna slows down smoothly thanks to fairly soft pedal action and linear braking force. It's perfect for the sort of stop-and-go driving you do around town. We recorded an emergency-stopping distance from 60 mph in 132 feet, which is an acceptable result for the class.
Steering
6.5Some road feedback transmits through the steering wheel, but otherwise the wheel is lifeless. Effort is light and lacks natural buildup. There's also no increased effort at higher speeds, which would aid stability.
Handling
7.0The Sienna exhibits noticeable body roll when you hustle it through turns. You'll need to slow down to keep your passengers happy. The Sienna SE, with its sport-tuned suspension, is more stable along twisty roads.
Drivability
6.5When cold, the eight-speed transmission in our test vehicle revved the engine higher than expected when accelerating from a stop. This tendency subsided largely after the engine and transmission had warmed up. Also, we noticed the transmission was sometimes reluctant to downshift on uphill grades. Otherwise, the Sienna is easy to drive.
Comfort
7.5The seats are initially comfortable and supportive, but long stints reveal pressure points. The ride is serene, though considerable levels of road and wind noise disrupt an otherwise relaxed experience. The climate controls work well to keep the entire cabin at a pleasant temperature.
Seat comfort
7.5The cushy seats are covered with soft, compliant leather. Some of our drivers had trouble remaining comfortable on longer trips, and found themselves making adjustments along the way. The extendable second-row leg rests are a nice touch.
Ride comfort
9.0The Sienna glides down the highway, offering a supremely comfortable ride. It can get a little unsettled if you hit a bump in the middle of a turn, but that's the only real knock against it.
Noise & vibration
6.5There's a great deal of wind and road noise, especially at highway speeds. Aside from full throttle, you don't hear the V6 much. The climate control system's gale-force winds produce an extraordinary din. We also experienced some trim rattles in this test vehicle that weren't present in previous Siennas we tested.
Climate control
8.5Tri-zone climate control is standard across all trims, with vents above the rear outboard passengers. The heated steering wheel delivers effective heat, and the heated front seats get quite toasty on the highest setting. The perforated upholstery breathes adequately, but ventilation would be ideal.
Interior
7.5The Sienna offers great visibility and, unsurprisingly for a minivan, excellent points of entry and exit for all seats. There's a surprising lack of headroom in the second and third rows due to the tapered roofline, but the most egregious oversight has to be the Sienna's poorly arranged controls.
Ease of use
5.0Many controls are awkwardly located, especially those for the rear entertainment system. The seat heater switches are hard for the passenger to reach with the dash-mounted cupholders deployed. The voice projection feature, which amplifies the driver's voice, is buried in touchscreen menus.
Getting in/getting out
8.5Entry and exit through any door is a cinch. We caution those who use the armrests to hoist themselves out of the rear seats that these armrests are a bit flimsy. Exiting the third row is fairly simple — use the strap or grab handle on the bottom of a second-row seat to slide it forward. The seats are really heavy, though.
Driving position
8.5The driver's seat offers a wide range of vertical adjustment to accommodate a variety of body types. The front of the seat bottom tilts up high enough to provide thigh support for taller drivers. The steering wheel doesn't tilt or telescope much, so you might not be able to reach an ideal position.
Roominess
7.0There's an ample amount of room up front, and the second-row seats slide all the way to the third row, though a sloping roofline reduces headroom the farther you go back. There's enough legroom in the third row to accommodate adults, though taller individuals might find headroom a bit limited.
Visibility
9.0The massive windshield and large windows provide an expansive view outward. The rear pillars aren't overly bulky, so you still have a wide view of the area directly behind you. The beltline rises a bit by the third-row windows but doesn't compromise the three-quarter rear view.
Quality
7.0The interior of our top-trim test Sienna feels comparable to a Chrysler Pacifica or Kia Sedona and about a half-step behind the Honda Odyssey. We didn't detect any creaks or rattles on the van we tested, but the same can't be said for every version of this generation we've tested.
Utility
8.0The Sienna's cargo capacity behind the third row is expansive. The power-folding seat controls are located on a panel just below the top of the hatch; it's easy to knock your forehead against it while loading cargo. The front door pockets are low and hard to reach.
Small-item storage
9.0Twelve cupholders are placed throughout the Sienna. Most notable are the two pop-out holders on the dash and two behind the center console that can slide and extend back to reach second-row occupants. The center bin in front is deep, and the third row has two decent-size bins.
Cargo space
9.0The load floor is almost flat with the third row folded. A low cargo liftover height helps during loading of items. The Sienna boasts excellent cargo volume. Controls for the power-folding seats are located on a panel just below the top of the hatch, a less-than-ideal location.
Child safety seat accommodation
7.0The second-row seats slide fore and aft without having to remove installed child seats, which is great. The seats are very heavy to slide, which is not great. The LATCH anchors are well-placed, but the leather surrounding them is rigid and requires manipulation to push aside. Tethers are hidden at the base of the seatbacks.
Technology
7.0The user interface is intuitive, even though the touchscreen's graphics are unappealing. Device integration upgrades and driver aid standardization have brought the Sienna up to par with competitive vans.
Audio & navigation
6.5The infotainment is simple enough to operate, but the touchscreen resolution is low, the screen washes out in direct sunlight, and the interface isn't particularly attractive. The rear entertainment display is a drop-down widescreen that can display one video across or two with a split-view screen.
Smartphone integration
7.0The 2019 model has better device integration than when this generation debuted in 2017. Up front, you'll find one USB port and an HDMI port. In back are two more USB ports. The good news is Apple CarPlay is now available. Android phone users are still out of luck.
Driver aids
6.5Toyota Safety Sense is standard on all Sienna trim levels. Features include pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control. All aids function just OK, but adaptive cruise shuts off at 25 mph, so you can't use it in stop-and-go traffic.
Voice control
7.0The Entune system asks for commands using a set of predetermined phrases, but it does understand some natural speech. CarPlay is available for connected iPhones. Driver Easy Speak projects the driver's voice through the rear speakers. It's useful for when the kids become unruly.
Which Sienna does Edmunds recommend?
While we don't think you should buy a minivan for its sporting value (bit of a contradictory impulse), the Sienna SE is our pick. It offers the same features as the lower LE trim, which include tri-zone climate control, power-sliding side doors, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, but it adds sportier styling and handling, leather upholstery, heated front seats and a power liftgate. The SE is also now available with all-wheel drive.
2019 Toyota Sienna models
The 2019 Toyota Sienna minivan comes in five main trim levels: L, LE, SE, XLE and Limited. The SE, the XLE and the Limited are further available in Premium subtrims. The base L come well stocked with the essentials, while the LE, SE and XLE trims add more premium features. The SE also has a sportier design. Topping the range is the Limited, which comes with nearly every Sienna feature as standard. Toyota also offers a mobility-enhanced Sienna (LE and XLE) with a power-operated Auto Access Seat.
All Sienna trims come with a 3.5-liter V6 engine (296 horsepower, 263 pound-feet of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional on every trim level except the L. Depending on the configuration and trim, the Sienna seats either seven or eight passengers.
Standard features for the base L include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a wiper de-icer, tri-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, a rearview camera, a conversation mirror, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen with Toyota's Entune interface, Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, five USB ports, and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, media player interface and an auxiliary audio jack.
Toyota Safety Sense also comes standard starting with L trims. It includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic headlights.
The LE adds roof rails, power-sliding rear doors, privacy glass, heated mirrors, a power-adjustable driver's seat, upgraded easy-clean fabric upholstery and rear sunshades. All-wheel-drive versions also get 18-inch wheels.
The SE is equipped similarly to the LE but adds a sport-tuned suspension, sharper steering, 19-inch alloy wheels (18-inch for all-wheel-drive models) and sportier exterior styling. The SE also has a power liftgate, first- and second-row leather upholstery (the third row gets premium vinyl), heated front seats, and unique gauges with a larger driver information screen.
The SE Premium adds a sunroof, keyless ignition and entry, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems, a navigation system, a premium JBL sound system, a rear-seat entertainment system, and the Driver Easy Speak system, which amplifies the driver's voice through the rear speakers.
The Sienna XLE shares many of the SE trim's comfort and convenience equipment, but it features similar suspension, steering and styling to the LE. It also adds a power-adjustable front passenger seat, imitation-wood trim, power-opening rear-quarter windows and keyless ignition and entry. The XLE Premium adds the SE Premium's features and rear parking sensors.
The plush Limited includes the XLE Premium's features (minus the rear entertainment system), along with 18-inch alloy wheels, a different grille, LED daytime running lights, auto-dimming and power-folding mirrors, front and rear sunroofs, and front and rear parking sensors. Inside is first- and second-row premium leather upholstery, driver-seat memory settings and a heated steering wheel.
Front-wheel-drive models also get a sliding center console between the first two rows, extendable footrests for the second row, and a power-folding third row with faux leather upholstery.
You can add even more with the Limited Premium trim, which tacks on xenon headlights, automatic wipers, a surround-view parking camera system, the rear-seat entertainment system and upgraded third-row leather (AWD only).

26,000 miles in 11 months... it's good.
Pickles, 11/27/2019
2019 Toyota Sienna Limited Premium 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
We have had 3 other Siennas before this but we aren't your typical family. We stage houses and need lots of space, some acceptable "presence" when we pull up to an appointment, dependablity and luxury- because doing 26,000+ miles a year requires some treats to keep the road time happy. With that, we bought a new 2019 Sienna Limited Premium, FWD in the black color. Limited, for us was … mandatory because that trim level brings power folding mirrors. Lower trims don't have it and for garage spaces or narrow roads, we needed it. Limited also gets you two opening moon roofs, and these fantastic middle row recliner seats. They are heavy but exceptionally luxurious. "Premium" had Apple Play (more on that later), a heated steering wheel, auto wipers, lights and Radar Cruise Control, which I mostly love.
Outside:
Ours is the black color with blue flecks. It's nice. I'd say the paint is on the thin side. Not a good color if you're a frequent auto-car-washer. Style: I am a designer and I'm paid for my good taste. In my opinon, the Sienna is the only decent looking minivan. It's spared dumb swoops and has a refined, simple, timeless shape and details.
Inside:
The brown leather seats are very comfortable. We have a VolvoXC60 which is lauded for its fine seats and I like these just as much. I wish the passenger side had height and lumbar adjustments. The rear seats, as mentioned above are exceptional. Removing them is sucky. I wish Toyota would finally copy Chrysler. The Stow-n-Go of the Pacifica is next level convenient. The 3rd row is also quite nice and has power reclining.
Tech:
Meh. This was a disappointment. I'm pretty tech savvy and holy heck is the Entune system un-intuitive and annoying. It hijacks your phone when it initializes (Like, if you're sending a text before driving away, the Entune overtakes the phone and you have to accept or decline the Entune before using your phone. I find it painfully bad. The Toyota sales person kinda showed how to use it but just conceded, Apple CarPlay is way better. So, about that... This is our first Apple CarPlay equipped vehicle and I expected more. First, there is NO intermingling of your native audio system. So if you're a radio listner or an XM subscriber, you have to stab at the buttons to switch from Car Play to "audio" and it's just SUPER clunky. Further, with my iPhone, the map is quite graphic and explicit. The CarPlay verison is pretty lame. It doesn't zoom well... overall, it's nice for using a few apps like Waze or playing music off your iPhone but because of how it's not designed to share screen space with your car's audio system, I'd give it a 2 on a scale of 1-5. I expected way better. Re: Radar Cruise control, it's great. However it only controls above 30. So for slow stop and go, you're doing the driving, unlike our Volvo which controls all the way to zero mph and back up to your selected speed. The Sienna ain't that sophisticated, in the radar cruise.
Power and handling:
I love driving and have driven BMWs, Saabs, Volvos for years.. The steering on the Sienna is certainly not BMW precise but it's quite good. I haul up HWY 1 in Sonoma and Marin Counties often and it's a tenacious vehicle. I especially love the manual shifting that would be impossible in a Pacifica with that silly rotary knob used for shifting. I USE the gears and control the van on long grades, by shifiting, as it was designed to do and it's fantastic. I actually love driving it. Accelleration is FAR faster than you'd expect. I dust almost anyone who tries to beat me. MPG is pretty good. We average about 22-23. We drive on a lot of country roads and do some San Francisco driving.
Utility:
We wouldn't drive a minivan if it weren't for the utility. Usually. we have it set up as a two seater due to hauling. The annoying thing is the floor isn't flat because of Toyota's stupid "carriage" which are some tracks, above the floor surface which allow for the middle row seats to slide. These plastic-covered metal protruberances wreck the flat floor you expect from a van. We wound up getting sheet linoleum and cutting it to fit the van for a full length liner. It helps smooth out the issues with putting things atop the seat carriages but it's imperfect. Toyota needs a better system. The seats are VERY heavy. I'm strong, work out, but heck are these seats a beast to remove and store. Be prepared.
Overall:
I love this van. This is a fine vehicle which will serve well. If I could improve it, I'd wipe clean that stupid Entune bull, make CarPlay harmonize better with the standard sound system and redesign the stupid seat tracks in the middle seats.
Update: 23 months, 47k miles. Still great. No problems at all. Services are cheap. I was excited for the 2022 Sienna and that super hybrid mpg but now the styling looks like ,Pontiac, circa 2003 AND the middle seats are *not* removable. So now it's an SUV with sliding doors. Bummer. Keeping the '19 for a long time, then: bye Toyota!

Flawed but better than the rest

2018 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
I have owned a Honda Odyssey, Dodge Grand Caravan, and now the Toyota Sienna. The Sienna definitely has some quirks that take getting used to.
1) the new drive train they installed in the 2018+ is good and bad. The engine has plenty of high end power and will have no problem getting you up to speed. The engine how is not torquey like most Toyota engines but when paired with the new … transmission, it can be a bit annoying. People think their 2018 Sienna is not shifting right when they hit the gas, there is a delay, then a downshift or abrupt take off. This is just the design and is something you need to get used to.
2) The infotainment is pretty bad. Trying get Scout GPS to work all of the time and connect your phone is problematic at times. You do get used to what works and what doesn't but out of the box it is cumbersome.
While those seem like deal breakers to some, they aren't for me. My 2012 Odyssey blew out its transmission at 100k miles, my 2017 Grand Caravan needed new lifters, injectors, and new struts by 30k miles. It was all under warranty but crazy it needed that much work. I buy all my vehicles a year or two old from reputable dealers. The Odyssey I felt went before it should of but I did get at least a decent run out of it. My caravan was just a hot steamy pile of garbage. That brings me to my Sienna. It is reliable, it is strong, and it is problem free. I will gladly take some quirks that take getting used to in favor of having a problem free van that I can keep for the long haul. So many vehicles out there remind me modern Range Rovers. So perfectly functional and nice in the beginning, then you spend the following years pouring in money for maintenance. Do yourself a favor and get a Sienna not because it is better than the Pacifica or Odyssey, but because it will give you far less problems and never let you down.

I Traded my 230,000+ mile Sienna with Trepidation
j.m alexander, 02/24/2019
2018 Toyota Sienna Limited Premium 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
My 2005 AWD Sienna and I were inseparable. It was a perfect combination of comfort, reliability, features, reliability, performance, and, yes, reliability. The only weaknesses I discovered in more than 13 years were in the electrical system and lack of value in run-flat tires. I remedied the second of those two weakness by purchasing a spare tire and going to traditional tires after the … first 3 sets of run-flats. Strengths included a well planned and executed interior. For its time, that Sienna had every feature, from electric doors to tachometer to opening vents to remote start, I could possibly use. Despite its size, the steering was responsive, acceleration was quick and braking was surprisingly good, even when loaded with cargo. Maintenance involved replacing brake pads, one timing belt, buying tires, and performing required oil and transmission fluid changes. When traded, the Sienna had its original catalytic converter, and shocks and struts. Electronics were a problem, with the passage of time being marked by more and more of the interior gauge and accessory lights failing. One of the sliding doors was always temperamental and became extremely sluggish. The 2018 AWD Sienna has a lot to live up to. In many ways, it meets or exceeds its predecessor. The acceleration is smooth and quick. The brakes are outstanding. There is a bit less road noise compared to the previous car, even when it was new. It has a bit more cargo space than the 2005. When loaded, the acceleration was a bit slower than the 2005's, but that is the result of the fuel economy-focused transmission. All of the sliding doors open with pep. One feature I miss on the back hatch door is the resistance closure; the new model requires me to push a button; the key fob no longer closes the hatch, but can open it. The abundance of electronics on the 2018 is both awe-inspiring and a bit intimidating. Features like the 360 degree camera, which I considered an indulgence, are quickly becoming necessities. I miss the remote start, which could be the answer to a prayer after snow storms, softening ice and snow so that cleaning off the van was easier. The Toyota engineers have kept their faith with Sienna lovers, like me. I wish I could make the same statement about the interior design team. Despite having a top of the line model, compared to the older Sienna, the materials have been cheapened and the details I loved have been eliminated. Most egregious is the third row stowage system. I am not a small person; I have long arms. I cannot easily reach the stowage handle, which replaced one of the fabric tabs. Did anyone have a smaller man or a woman attempt to fold up the back row seats before this design was finalized? Toyota: bring back the 2-section front console! I consider the new unit between the front seats to be a black hole in which nothing can be found, especially by someone driving a car. Bring back the front in-door arm rest storage compartments. They were perfect for holding items needed at a moment's notice, especially items which could never be found in the "black hole." The front seat passengers are down one cup holder from earlier interior configurations. Material durability will be an issue for the pop out pair of cup holders and the "hidden" compartment by the vent button. While we are on the subject of that compartment, you could have engineered it ¼" larger to accommodate an EZ Pass or similar item. So, right now, although the 2018 Sienna has a lot to offer and is a delight to drive, it suffers in comparison to older model Siennas, especially in regard to interior engineering and luxury. Those short-comings will be forgiven if the new model proves as reliable and undemanding as the older models.
Six month update: All of my comments above are still pertinent. This 2018 Sienna already had a recall for software updates; the downtime was short. The mechanical systems are working nicely. One shortcoming I hadn't noticed until our snowy season is the poor rear window wiper redesign. No longer does it provide a 180 degree sweep centered on the bottom of the window. Now, it sweeps from the top of the window and makes an asymmetric sweep of about 100 degrees, leaving almost a third of the window uncleared. If you purchase a Sienna, ensure it has the blind spot detectors. The view out the rear window is so obstructed in bad weather, those detectors are a necessity, not a luxury.

Great Value, Comfort, and Ride

2018 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
Writing this review 3 months and 3500 miles into owning a 2018 Sienna XLE. I am very impressed with the safety features. In fact the automatic assist braking helped save me from an accident when the vehicle in front of me came to a sudden stop on the highway because they missed their exit! The radar proximity alarm sounded and brakes were applied before I realized that the car in front … of me was coming to a complete stop, without any cars in front of it. Lots of compliment son the comfort of the interior, especially the seats. I live in Florida, but ended up buying the car in Virginia, because apparently Toyota is separated into three regions: Southeast, Gulf Coast, and everything else. The Sienna was about $3k less in Virginia than in FL. Well worth the drive! I wish Toyota would have have rounded dials for the air conditioner, similar to an ipod, rather than push buttons. You have to look down each time to adjust the buttons. If you had a dial, you could spin it without having to look down. I hate Toyotas Ensuite. I wish I could have bought the car without it. Your phone is more powerful than anything Toyota can provide. I dont think any car company has grasped this yet. Overall I am very happy with the purchase, esp considering the great price I got for it. The Odyssey was its biggest competition, but the 2018 Sienna seemed like a better value; and I can confidently say that I made the right decision.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2019 Toyota Sienna, so we've included reviews for other years of the Sienna since its last redesign.
