PLANO, Texas (Sept. 17, 2024) — The Toyota Sienna’s sporty blend of angular good looks, spacious functionality, and standard Hybrid powertrain has redefined the segment for families and adventurers alike. For 2025, the Sienna keeps on innovating by adding a standard radar-based Advanced Rear Seat Reminder system capable of detecting movement in the rear seats after the vehicle has been turned off and locked. The Sienna also brings fresh interior style with new convenience features, technology, colors and materials.
On the inside, the 2025 Toyota Sienna keeps busy lives fresh and clean with the addition of a Vacuum and FridgeBoxTM. These new creature comforts are neatly integrated into the front center console and come standard on the Platinum trim and available on the Limited grade. The Sienna also ups the entertainment factor, bringing in the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system, standard, along with an available 12.3-inch touchscreen.
Passengers will immediately notice new design elements throughout the cabin on all 2025 Sienna grades. The top-end Platinum and Limited grades’ leather trimmed seats offer a striking Macadamia and Black color combination, with Black also available. The XSE, Woodland Edition and XLE grades’ easy-to-clean SofTex® trimmed seats feature an embossed pattern with accent stitching and the LE’s woven fabric seats complement the cabin with a cool gray color.
The center console also changes up across Sienna grades, with a new woodgrain finish for an upscale look on the Platinum and Limited, a gloss black serrated finish on the XSE and Woodland Edition, and anodized dark, gray-colored paint on the XLE and LE. The Woodland Edition’s new grade-exclusive all-weather floor and rear cargo mats bring the outdoors close to home. The new mats feature a stamped pine tree silhouette pattern that will have your mind on roasted marshmallows in no time.
Additionally, the driver’s display leaps forward with a customizable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster on the XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum grades. The Qi wireless smart phone charger also gets an update to fifth generation tech that charges devices more quickly and is now standard on all grades. All Sienna grades also get updates that include dual microphones for increased call clarity and USB-C charging throughout the cabin with a USB-A port in the dash.
The 2025 Sienna also has exterior changes like eye-catching two-tone metallic clad wheels on the Platinum grade and new six-spoke dark-finished alloy wheels on the Woodland Edition. The XSE grade and Woodland Edition’s door handles, grille, and side window trim now have darkened features for a sophisticated touch. A Magnetic Gray Metallic exterior color choice is now available on the Platinum, Limited, XSE, XLE and LE grades. And to remind customers of our vision for the future, the addition of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Beyond Zero badge on the rear liftgate of all grades.
The 2025 Toyota Sienna’s Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at $39,185(LE FWD) excluding Dealer Processing and Handling fee and is expected to start arriving at Toyota dealerships nationwide in the Fall of 2024.
Advanced Rear Seat Reminder – A Global Toyota First
A first in a Toyota vehicle, the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder sensor is concealed in the headliner and uses a 60GHz band millimeter-wave radar to scan the second and third row seats for potential movement. If the system senses movement in the scanned area after the vehicle is shifted into park and ignition is cycled off, the driver’s door has been opened then closed and the vehicle has been locked, the initial warning will trigger the hazard lights and to flash and sound the door lock chime nine times.
Approximately 90 seconds after the initial warning, if movement is still detected by the sensor and a door has not been opened, the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder will sound the horn as part of the escalation warning.
If the driver has opted into Advanced Rear Seat Reminder notifications via the Toyota app and has an active Safety Connect subscription with up to 10-year trial included*, approximately four minutes after the horn escalation warning starts, the vehicle can also send a push notification via the Toyota app in addition to an SMS text message to the mobile number saved in the user’s account. Finally, after an additional two minutes has elapsed, the system will attempt to generate an automated phone call from Toyota Safety.
In situations where the vehicle is left unlocked, the warning sequence operates differently. If the system senses movement in the scanned area after the vehicle is shifted into park and ignition is cycled off, the driver’s door has been opened then closed and the vehicle has been left without being locked, the vehicle will not provide the initial warning door lock chime and hazard flashing or subsequent escalation warning horn sounding. But, if the driver has an active Safety Connect subscription and opted into Advanced Rear Seat Reminder notifications via the Toyota app, if the movement is still detected by the sensor and a door has not been opened, approximately 10 minutes after driver’s door closing a push notification and SMS message will be sent to the registered phone and Toyota app.
Finally, after an additional two minutes has elapsed, the system will attempt to generate an automated phone call from Toyota Safety. If the driver wishes to temporarily or indefinitely disable the system, that can be selected in the Multi Information Display settings.

Entertainment, Toyota Style
The 2025 Toyota Sienna receives the latest Toyota’s latest Audio Multimedia system, designed and engineered by Toyota’s Texas-based software teams. The LE grade comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, while XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum grades feature an expansive 12.3-inch touchscreen.
Through Toyota Audio Multimedia, users can interact with the system through intuitive touch- and voice-activated commands. With the one-year Drive Connect* trial subscription on XLE grade and higher, drivers and passengers have access to Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist.
With Intelligent Assistant, simple phrases like “Hey Toyota” awaken the system for voice-activated commands, including searching for directions, adjusting audio controls, changing cabin temperature and more. Available Cloud Navigation can take advantage of the latest map, traffic and routing information, including a POI search powered by Google. Drivers can also use Destination Assist, which provides 24/7 access to live agents. As with all vehicles equipped with Toyota Audio Multimedia, Sienna drivers can download Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, augmenting the multimedia experience.
Toyota Audio Multimedia’s Bluetooth® phone connectivity allows for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Additionally, the Toyota Sienna has an available Wi-Fi Connect* and includes a one-month trial subscription that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices – turning the Sienna into an AT&T Hotspot. Adding to the already robust offering of audio playback ability with HD Radio®, USB data and a SiriusXM® three-month trial subscription, Wi-Fi Connect also enables Integrated Streaming, providing customers the ability to link their separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions to the vehicle for onboard control.
For the audiophile, Sienna offers an available JBL® Premium Audio system with 12 speakers, creating a mobile concert from any music genre. Standard on the Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum grades, with the use of Clari-Fi® technology, the system is also able to breathe life into compressed digital music formats, enhancing the audio experience. The 12-speaker JBL Premium Audio system is also available as an upgrade on the XLE and XSE grades.
Robust Safety and Convenience Features
All 2025 Sienna models come standard with second-generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 2.0), a comprehensive active safety system that includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Road Sign Assist
Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to provide automatic braking capability should the driver not react in time in certain emergency situations. The PCS system is not only designed to detect a vehicle ahead, but it can also detect a bicyclist and even a pedestrian in low light situations. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (BSM w/RCTA) is standard on all Sienna models.
The 2025 Sienna is equipped with 10 airbags: driver and front passenger airbags, driver’s knee airbag, passenger seat cushion airbag, front seat side airbags, rear outboard seat side airbags, plus curtain side airbags for all three rows. Toyota’s Star Safety System includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Toyota also takes peace-of-mind further with convenience features like a rear passenger seatbelt reminder, Electric Parking Brake (EPB), and Advanced Rear Seat Reminder (ARSR) system.
Hybrid AWD Marvel
The Toyota Sienna offers hybrid power exclusively and benefits from Toyota’s 20+ years of global hybrid leadership and well documented quality, durability, and reliability. The Toyota Hybrid System II in Sienna delivers 245 total system horsepower and has a manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG fuel economy on FWD models and 35 combined MPG fuel economy on AWD models, all while operating seamlessly for a smooth-yet-powerful driving experience.
The Sienna also offers some performance-control surprises. Selectable EV, NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving modes let the driver tailor the van’s driving personality. NORMAL mode is ideal for everyday driving; SPORT mode improves acceleration response; ECO mode extracts maximum mileage from the fuel and battery; and EV mode allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.
The Sienna’s gas engine is a marvel all by itself, with a super-high 14:1 compression ratio and Toyota D4-S fuel injection that delivers 41% thermal efficiency. The gas engine employs Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent System by Electric motor (VVT-iE) on the intake camshaft, and VVT-i on the exhaust camshaft. A variable cooling system (electric water pump and electric thermostat) and a fully variable oil pump further improve engine efficiency.
Why only a manufacturer-estimated 1-MPG difference between the front-wheel drive Sienna and models with AWD? The answer is Toyota’s innovative Electronic On-Demand All Wheel Drive system. Instead of a heavy AWD transfer case and space-robbing driveshaft sending power to the rear wheels, this AWD system uses a separate independent electric motor to power them and apply additional traction as needed at all vehicle speeds.
Like the hybrid system, the Electronic On-Demand AWD system works seamlessly and transparently. During off-the-line starts, Hybrid AWD pre-emptively sends up to 80% of torque to the rear wheels to help prevent front-wheel slip. The Hybrid AWD system also enhances cornering agility by helping to reduce understeer for more confident handling. Torque distribution then varies with conditions, from 100:0 in constant-speed driving to 20:80 on slippery surfaces. Torque distribution is indicated on the Multi-information Display.
Enhanced Technology: Stay Connected and In Control
Each Toyota Sienna comes with a variety of Connected Services* trials depending on grade. The LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum come with the following Connected Services:
- Safety Connect: Up to 10-year trial subscription*; Includes Emergency Assistance Button, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification and Stolen Vehicle Locator
- Service Connect: Up to 10-year trial subscription*, enables owners/lessees to receive personalized maintenance updates and vehicle health reports.
All Toyota Sienna grades add a Remote Connect 1-year trial* subscription, giving drivers the capability to remotely interact with their vehicle through the Toyota mobile app or smartwatch. Depending on grade, allows you to lock/unlock doors, start and stop the vehicle, locate your last parked location, check vehicle status and monitor guest drivers.
