2026 Toyota Sienna Review

The Sienna is the only minivan in America that comes exclusively as a hybrid — and it's not just efficient, it's genuinely spacious, tech-forward, and available with AWD for Indiana winters. The best family hauler money can buy.

Hybrid Performance & Efficiency

Since 2021, every Sienna has been a hybrid — there is no gas-only option. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with dual electric motors delivers 245 combined horsepower and an EPA-estimated 36 combined mpg on FWD models. AWD is available across several trims, using a dedicated rear electric motor for all-season traction without a mechanical driveshaft — an excellent choice for Fort Wayne families navigating winter road conditions.

The Sienna is not a performance vehicle, but it is a remarkably capable one. The hybrid system delivers smooth, quiet operation that makes long family road trips to Indianapolis, Chicago, or Columbus noticeably more relaxed than a traditional minivan drivetrain.
