r/ToyotaSienna

If your options were a limited awd at $57 or XLE awd at $53 (both negotiated down and both with inverter, Entertainment, weather mats, cargo bars etc) - which and why?

After taking a look at a Sienna in person, one thing I immediately thought about the interior is that the glossy finish on the console bridge looks like a fingerprint and scuff magnet. Just curious how everyone’s finish is holding up over time.

Obviously the 20 number has to remain - do I change the width or aspect ratio? 245/50/r20 feels like it's my best option, or is there a different config I should look at?

Thank you

even at three bars on the new gen, I feel like I’m going to crash into the person in front of me! I’m trying to get used to it but…. I’m actually finding myself posting this here in the hopes that someone who is able to change it takes this feedback and makes the space gap much larger like it was 10 years ago.

And why is there no way to turn on the back lights when it’s off unless front lights are on!

And I miss the sideview mirror being able to manually flip back so I could look at my face (not when driving)

HUD doesn’t really have super useful information a lot of the time… I wish it would give me a heads up about upcoming exits or directions for where I’m going or more information.

I miss the navigator that had a list of upcoming exits and was downloaded into the computer

all in all, amazing vehicle. Just wanted to voice those things in case someone on here reads it who can make changes…

Hey guys, I'm looking at a new Sienna for my next vehicle. I'm coming from a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica non-hybrid, and am wondering if anyone else has made a similar switch. I really like the power in my Pacifica for passing and accelerating onto the highway and I've read that's one of the Sienna's weak points. Will I miss the V6 much?

I am frustrated and looking for some input if you've had similar experiences or suggestions on what else we can do. We purchased a brand new 2026 sienna LE from a dealer 2 hours from us. On our way home from this purchase, I noticed that the driver side view mirror glass is distorted. Looked like those wavy mirrors from a fun house.

We get back and I scheduled a service appointment at the toyota dealership near us. They looked at the glass and said yes its distorted, the ordered the part and replaced the glass. About 10 days after its installed, the same glass falls off, hanging on by the wires for heat thing. I call the dealership and bring it back in for service again. They ordered a new glass and replaced it again. This time it was replaced on a Saturday by a service advisor and not a mechanic.

5 months later, I come out to my car in the morning parked in my driveway, and the glass has fallen out again. I call the dealership, bring it in and the foreman points to a tiny scratch on the back of the driver side view mirror and said the glass fell out from impact to the mirror. It is a TINY scratch, there was no impact. They quoted me $150 to order a new glass. The service advisor and the mechanic both told me that the foreman is full of shit because that scratch would not have been enough impact to cause the glass to fall out.

So I took the car back, called the next day to speak with the service manager. Kept leaving messages for him to return my call. Sent an email. 4 days later still did not hear back, called again to leave a message for a return call. He finally calls me back and says I saw the picture from my foreman, this is from impact and we will not cover it under warranty. I asked if he needed to see it in person because the scratch is tiny. He said nope, he cannot override what the foreman decided. I told him ok I will contact corporate and go from there. He said sure go ahead if they override it then he will replace it for me.

Mind you, this is a brand new purchase less than 6 months old, less than 5000 miles on it. I have been driving around with tape on this mirror for over a week. I have been to the dealer 5 times for the same mirror between getting it "diagnosed" and then they have to order the part then coming back for the install. So its very time consuming and frustrating that now they are saying its not covered under warranty.

I called toyota corporate who started a case, 2 days later the dealership corporate office calls and basically summarizes what happened and what the service manager told her and they wont offer any assistance under warranty. So i call Toyota corporate back and they opened a new case and a case manager will call me back in one business day from toyota corporate office not the dealership to see what they can do.

Guess I am just venting. Has anyone else experienced problems with the distorted mirror or the glass constantly falling off? Now I am requested for them to replace the whole driver side view part with new glass because I'm thinking the whole part is defective and thats why the glass wont stay/clips keep breaking off. Has anyone had success with corporate overriding something and covering the cost?

Ordered 3w mats and powoq trunk liner. Anything else that really helps in the first little bit?

Hi friends, I called a nearby Toyota dealer yesterday. One Sienna Woodland Edition (MSRP $53,271) is on the lot. I inquired about numbers for a 36-month lease. What they currently offer is $798/month, including tax and fees (0 down). 12k miles per year. I wonder if this is something I can further negotiate. Thank you so much.

Hi, we recently bought a 2026 Sienna Limited AWD, and it came with the entertainment center. We havent attempted to use it at all but was wondering what sort of set up is the easiest? My kids have ipads (lightning port), we have new iphones, some androids, all in the family. We would also be interested in streaming sticks if thats easier

Coming from a 2016 Honda Odyssey and getting used to our new 2026 Limited AWD Sienna - just noticed that during very slow stop and go moments, such as dropping my kids off through the school car line, i sometimes feel a sort of vibration during braking (i think). Is this normal behavior? Nothing intense but I notice it

I keep going back forth between a limited and XLE.

I LIKE the gray colored interior of the XLE - but don’t love the softex. I LIKE the leather trim of the limited / but don’t like the interior color options - I’d do macademia over all black though. Anyone have any thoughts on choosing one vs the other?

My wife and I will have two young kids with a 3rd coming in a few short years. We were planning on holding off on a minivan until we had 3 kids, but have quickly outgrown my wife’s Hyundai Tucson.

We have made the decision to go with a Sienna. My wife is dead set on getting a cement gray Sienna which leaves us with the only options of the XSE or the Woodland. If I wasn’t limited to just those two, I likely would have gone with an AWD XLE. Does anybody have a recommendation of which one is better for a growing family?

Additionally, what accessories or add ons do parents of young children recommend? One thing I was considering was additional tint. I know the sienna comes tinted, but is the tint enough to block direct sunlight from an infant? I also know it has sun shades, but I don’t like how they don’t cover the whole window. We currently have snap shades in our cars now, which could also be an option instead of tinting.

Besides tinting, what other accessories or add ons have you found useful?

I am new to the Sienna journey. After researching all the options, we’ve decided to buy a new one. We were originally thinking we’d buy early next year (after a bonus hopefully comes through at work 😅). But now I’m seeing quite a few posts where people are jumping on 2026 models, and I’m wondering… are there benefits to snagging a 2026 now? Will it be significantly cheaper? And conversely, are we expecting any improvements that make the 2027 worth waiting for?

We were pretty set on getting a Limited AWD, but then a family friend who is also a car salesman mentioned one of the chief complaints about the AWD on the Sienna is the tires wear down extremely quickly - like need new tires at <10k miles due to them being run flats & the weight of the vehicle.

Would love to hear if anyone has experienced this? The AWD was a major selling point but now I’m concerned. Our other vehicle is AWD, so we would have one vehicle with that feature for winters if we went FWD.

I'm considering a brand new Sienna LE or would look into higher trims between 2021-2024. Would be looking at AWD models.

Most noticeable difference I see in the 2025+ is that they get a larger head unit display in the XLE and up trims.

What would you guys do? Get a older and cheaper higher trim or go for a brand new base model LE?

Hi all, title is a bit misleading, want to buy a set of the OEM roof bars off marketplace but they lost the bolts. Any easy and safe alternatives or is the savings not worth it? Tia!

Thinking of trading in our 22 Subaru Ascent Onyx for a Sienna. We have 2 kids ages 2 and 8 months.. so in car seats for quite some time. We recently travelled and, even with a car top carrier, the space in the Ascent was tight. Am I crazy to think the Sienna likely has more usable space and would be better on trips as well as day to day? (Obviously I recognize many are likely Sienna owners here.. very open to the bias that might bring!)

I am not someone who thought a minivan would make sense for us.. but help me convince myself it makes sense for the next few years!
