2024 TOYOTA SIENNA WOODLAND AWD HYBRID REVIEWED

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition AWD Hybrid is reviewed as a capable family hauler with a focus on fuel economy and practicality. The reviewer highlights its strong hybrid system, achieving real-world MPGs close to the EPA estimates (33.7 MPG observed). The all-wheel-drive system, particularly with the electric rear motor, provides confidence on gravel roads and moderate inclines, though the reviewer notes the lack of all-terrain tires as a missed opportunity for the 'Woodland' trim. Positives include comfortable seating, ample cargo space (though less than competitors), and a smooth ride, especially with the 18-inch wheels on rougher surfaces. However, the infotainment system is heavily criticized as dated and archaic compared to rivals like the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica. The interior materials also feel less premium than expected for a vehicle costing over $50,000. Despite its shortcomings, the Sienna remains a top choice for its class-leading fuel efficiency and the added benefit of available AWD for those seeking a practical, economical, and versatile minivan.
