THE 2025 TOYOTA SIENNA IS CHEATING. HOW CAN IT SIP SO LITTLE GAS?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Sienna continues to impress with its class-leading fuel economy, achieving an astonishing 40 MPG in the XSE trim tested, even with significant idling. The reviewer highlights the hybrid powertrain as the van's primary strength, offering a "cheat code" in the segment. While the exterior styling, particularly on the XSE, is praised, the interior is noted for its tight, dark, and less configurable second and third rows compared to competitors like the Odyssey and Carnival. The reviewer criticizes the lack of a 360-degree camera on this trim, the small third-row windows contributing to a "submarine-like" feel, and the impractical bridge design in the front console. Despite these drawbacks, the Sienna's comfortable ride, user-friendly controls, and exceptional efficiency make it a compelling, albeit compromised, family hauler.
