The 2021 Toyota Sienna: Redefining the Minivan

The Toyota Sienna may be a minivan, but drivers have spoken clearly on one point in recent years: They don’t want to feel like they’re driving a bus.

Toyota took that message to heart in its design of the 2021 Sienna. The result is a vehicle that has the potential to redefine the segment.

Where Toyota called the third-generation Sienna a “swagger wagon,” this new fourth-generation model combines the practical attributes of a minivan with a bold and personalized design that shouts confidence, refinement and smart innovation.

It starts with a standard hybrid powertrain — available on all trims — that raises the bar for style, safety, comfort, versatility and fuel efficiency. But that just leads the way to the real premium features. The 2021 Sienna features sliding doors and rear gates that kick open and closed, along with four-zone climate control, heated second-row captain’s chairs (with ottomans, no less) and an exceptional in-cabin infotainment system.

And Sienna is ready to take you on life’s adventures, with an all-wheel option and amenities that include a rooftop carrier, cross bars, a bike rack and much more. You even have the option of a 1,500-watt inverter with a 120-volt AC outlet to power your camping equipment.

By the way, if you’ll be towing anything on your adventures, you should know the 2021 Sienna is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

This whole package comes in a minivan structure unlike anything you’ve seen, and it presents itself via a bold and provocative design that will challenge every notion of how minivans look and feel.

“This is an all-new vehicle from the ground up, including a new chassis platform as well as a new electrical platform,” said Chief Engineer Monte Kaehr. “The development of the fourth generation Sienna was a huge undertaking but we always worked towards one single mission—to make the best van yet.”

Another part of that mission is to make it the safest, which is why the 2021 Sienna comes with second-generation Toyota Safety Sense, including the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Trace Assist, Automatic High Beams and Road Sign Assist.

With its 245-horsepower 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine, the Toyota Hybrid System II delivers an astonishing fuel economy performance of 36 miles per gallon.

It’s strong, efficient, comfortable and capable. And all that is wrapped in a striking design that will make you wonder if you’re really driving a minivan.

You are. It’s just that 2021 Sienna redefines the meaning of the term. Find yours today at Jim Ellis Toyota of McDonough.
