Pros: Availability of class-exclusive all-wheel drive; solid driving dynamics; broad range of trim levels and option packages
Cons: Higher-end models get expensive; less outright cargo volume than most class competitors
CG Says: The 2020 Toyota Sienna adds a new Nightshade Edition appearance package, but is otherwise unchanged. The Sienna minivan has seating for seven or eight. The sole powertrain is a 296-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Sienna stands out from the minivan pack by being the only one to offer all-wheel drive. Available safety features include pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning and mitigation, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and Bird’s Eye View camera system. Available convenience features include power third-row seats, rain-sensing wipers, and Driver Easy Speak that broadcasts the driver’s voice through the rear speakers. Sienna can’t match Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go fold-flush second-row seats or Honda’s overall refinement, but this Toyota compensates with terrific interior comfort and cargo flexibility. Sienna is well worth your time and consideration.
