Description
With the 2021 Sienna, Toyota appears to be making a smart move by making the Sienna entirely hybrid-powered. With Toyota predicting 33 mpg combined—likely making it a minivan that tops 30 mpg in city driving—the decision between a minivan or an SUV might be a lot easier.
The Sienna isn’t the first hybrid minivan. Up until now, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid—our Best Car To Buy 2018—has essentially beaten Toyota at its own game, offering an EPA-combined 30 mpg; the current generation of the Sienna isn’t even offered with a hybrid option and has a rating of just 20 or 21 mpg combined from its non-hybrid V-6. The Pacifica Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid, with an all-electric range of 32 miles—still giving it an advantage, although Chrysler still makes far more non-hybrid Pacificas.
