Common questions about the 2026 Toyota Sienna focus on its hybrid-only fuel economy, fixed second-row seats, all-wheel-drive capability, and new standard features like the power liftgate, wireless charging, and upgraded JBL audio.
- What is the MPG? The Sienna achieves an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined for front-wheel drive and 35 mpg for electronic all-wheel drive. In the real world, I was close to these numbers.
- Is it a plug-in hybrid or standard hybrid? It is a standard hybrid (HEV) with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine making 245 net horsepower; it does not plug in.
- How does the AWD work? Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand AWD uses a separate independent electric motor to power the rear wheels when slipping occurs. There is no driveshaft or rear axle connection to the engine.
- Can you remove the second-row seats? No, the second-row captain’s chairs slide extensively forward and back, but they do not easily remove because of integrated side airbags and seat wiring.
- How does the third row store? It features a 60/40 Split & Stow third-row seat that folds completely flat into the floor.
- What features are now standard? The base LE adds a power liftgate and rear sunshades, and a wireless phone charger, making these features standard across the lineup. The XSE trim gains a standard 12-speaker JBL audio system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
- Is there a new paint color? Yes, “Heavy Metal” grey is available as an option across multiple trims.
