The 2025 Toyota Sienna arrives with minimal exterior changes, focusing instead on practical interior upgrades and enhanced safety features. Building upon the successful 2024 model, these updates aim to solidify the Sienna’s position as a top contender in the minivan segment. Let’s delve into what’s new for the 2025 model year.
Returning Features: Built-in Vacuum and Fridge
Toyota reintroduces a built-in vacuum and fridge for the 2025 Sienna, features initially planned for the 2020 model but shelved due to supplier issues. The vacuum offers impressive suction, exceeding the power of typical gas station vacuums. The fridge efficiently chills five to six drinks without significantly impacting cabin temperature. These features are standard on the Platinum trim and available as part of an option package on the Limited trim.

Enhanced Safety: Rear Occupant Reminder
A new rear occupant reminder utilizes radar technology to detect movement in the second and third rows, even subtle motions like breathing. If occupants are left behind, the system triggers a series of alerts: a nine-time door lock chime, followed by a continuous horn blast. Owners can also opt for push notifications and automated phone calls. This comprehensive system provides multiple layers of protection against accidentally leaving children or pets in the vehicle.
Updated Tech: Larger Touchscreen with Wireless Connectivity
The 2025 Sienna boasts a larger 12.3-inch center touchscreen, replacing the previous 9-inch display. While the extra screen real estate is welcome, the key benefit is the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the base model’s screen size is reduced to 8 inches.

Familiar Performance and Comfort
Mechanically unchanged from the 2024 model, the 2025 Sienna retains its 245-horsepower hybrid powertrain, delivering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Front-wheel-drive models achieve an estimated 36 mpg combined, while all-wheel-drive trims achieve 35 mpg. The Sienna continues to prioritize comfort, with spacious seating for adults in all rows and a smooth, well-controlled ride.

Models equipped with the vacuum and fridge begin at $51,650 for the Limited trim with the necessary option package. While the 2025 Sienna may not boast revolutionary changes, its thoughtful updates enhance its practicality and safety, reinforcing its appeal to families seeking a reliable and versatile minivan.
