TORONTO, Ontario (September 17, 2024) – The 2025 Toyota Sienna continues to innovate with a sporty design, spacious functionality, and standard Hybrid powertrain. New features include a radar-based Advanced Rear Seat Reminder, which detects movement in the rear seats, and refreshed interior styles with updated tech, colors, and materials.
The Platinum grade now comes standard with a Vacuum and FridgeBox™ in the center console, while all models offer the latest Toyota Multimedia system, with an optional 12.3-inch touchscreen. XSE, Limited, and Platinum grades also feature a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
Cabin design updates include Macadamia and Black leather seats on the Platinum, SofTex® trimmed seats on XSE and XLE, and a cool Gray woven fabric for the LE. The center consoles also get new finishes, from woodgrain on Platinum to gloss black on XSE.
New wheel designs are available, including two-tone metallic clad wheels on the Platinum. Exterior updates include darkened trim on the XSE and a new Magnetic Gray Metallic color for the Limited and Platinum. The Hybrid Electric Vehicle badge is now on all grades.
For 2025, a faster Qi wireless phone charger is standard, along with dual microphones for clearer calls and USB-C charging throughout the cabin.
ADVANCED REAR SEAT REMINDER – A GLOBAL TOYOTA FIRST
The 60GHz radar in the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder scans the second and third rows for movement. If movement is detected after the ignition is off, the driver's door is opened and closed, and the vehicle is locked, the system will flash hazard lights and sound the door lock chime.
After 1.5 minutes, if movement persists, the horn will sound. Four minutes later, a push notification or SMS will be sent via the Toyota app, followed by an automated call two minutes after. Unlike ultrasonic systems, this radar detects movement under objects like blankets and works in low light. The feature can be disabled if needed and remains active for up to 10 years or as long as 4G connectivity is available.
ENTERTAINMENT, TOYOTA STYLE
The 2025 Toyota Sienna features the latest Toyota Multimedia system, developed by Toyota’s software teams. The LE comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, while XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum grades get a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
Through intuitive touch and voice commands, users can control the system, with Limited and Platinum grades offering a 3-year Drive Connect trial for Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and 24/7 Destination Assist. "Hey Toyota" voice commands handle tasks like directions, audio, and cabin temperature, while Cloud Navigation and OTA updates enhance functionality.
The system also offers wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, HD Radio®, USB data, and SiriusXM® (three-month trial). For audiophiles, a 12-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system is available on XSE and standard on Limited and Platinum, using Clari-Fi® technology to enhance sound quality.

GO SPORTY WITH XSE
The sporty XSE FWD model enhances the Sienna's style with sculpted body lines, an aggressive black sport mesh grille, and rear bumpers. It rides on 20-inch dark chrome-colored alloy wheels, while the AWD version has 18-inch wheels. The XSE also features black mirrors, side rockers, door handles, a shark fin antenna, and a Sienna liftgate logo.

The optional XSE Technology Package adds a JBL 12-speaker system, rear entertainment, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, a digital rearview mirror, LED fog lamps, and a 1500W AC outlet in the rear.
TAKE IT TO THE LIMITED OR GO PLATINUM
The Limited and Platinum grades offer the ultimate comfort for the 2025 Toyota Sienna. New for Platinum is the standard console Vacuum and FridgeBox™, along with a 10-inch color Head-Up Display (HUD) that shows speed, navigation, and the Hybrid System Indicator.
The FridgeBox™ keeps drinks and snacks cool, perfect for long trips, and the integrated vacuum allows for easy cleanups, both standard on the Platinum grade.
Both Limited and Platinum feature leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, premium second-row captain’s chairs with super-long-slide and ottomans, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with the Toyota Multimedia system. They also come with a 12-speaker JBL audio system, Digital Rearview Mirror, and a 1080p HD Entertainment Center with an 11.6-inch display and HDMI input. A spare tire and power inverter are also available on these top-end grades.
ROBUST SAFETY FEATURES
All 2025 Sienna models come standard with second-generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS 2.0), a comprehensive active safety system that includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Road Sign Assist
The 2025 Toyota Sienna includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection, offering automatic braking in emergency situations. It can detect vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, even in low light. Standard on all models is the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (BSM w/RCTA).
For safety, the Sienna has 10 airbags, covering all seating rows, and features Toyota’s Star Safety System with Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, and Anti-lock Brakes. Additional safety features include a rear seatbelt reminder, Electric Parking Brake, and the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder system.
HYBRID AWD MARVEL
The 2025 Toyota Sienna exclusively features a hybrid powertrain, benefiting from Toyota's extensive experience in hybrid technology, known for its quality, durability, and reliability. The hybrid system delivers 245 horsepower and achieves an impressive fuel efficiency of 6.6 L/100 km for FWD models and 6.7 L/100 km for AWD models, ensuring smooth yet powerful performance.
Drivers can choose from multiple driving modes, including EV for electric-only driving at low speeds, ECO for maximum fuel efficiency, NORMAL for everyday use, and SPORT for enhanced acceleration. The advanced gas engine incorporates cutting-edge features like a 14:1 compression ratio, D-4S fuel injection, and variable systems for cooling and oil flow, optimizing both performance and efficiency.
The minimal fuel consumption difference between FWD and AWD models is due to Toyota's innovative Electronic On-Demand AWD system, which uses an independent electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed, providing optimal traction and agility. This AWD system can send up to 80% of torque to the rear wheels during starts and adjust torque distribution dynamically for enhanced cornering and confidence in various driving conditions.
The MSRP for the 2025 Sienna will be announced closer to its arrival in dealerships in Fall 2024. For more information, visit Toyota's official site.
