DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR:
Here's the detailed new 2022 Toyota Sienna review with its interior and exterior design changes, features, safety, performance, comfort, driving assist system, lineup, trim levels, different models, powertrain, specs and other details.

What's new:

1. A new adventure-themed Woodland Edition debuts
2. Part of the fourth Sienna generation introduced for 2021

The 2022 Toyota Sienna starts at $34,560. The 2022 Toyota Sienna goes quite far in several directions to make minivan ownership cool. Most obviously, there’s an SUV flavor to the exterior design. It’s also one of the few minivans to offer all-wheel drive.

Fresh for 2022, the Sienna Woodland Edition takes that theme and saunters with it, packing all-wheel drive as standard, raising the ride height slightly and promising $250 to the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) for every unit sold. Toyota has promised a minimum donation of $250,000.

Speaking of environmental matters, this generation of Sienna — which debuted only last year — comes solely with a hybrid drivetrain, making it a rarity for the class all over again. With seating for up to eight, many safety features as standard, lots of space and 18 beverage holders, the 2022 Sienna is an excellent family vehicle. It might just be cool enough, too.

Say what you will about minivans, but there's no denying that they're one of the best ways to haul a bunch of people and cargo. Sure, they may not be what some consider sexy, but when you simply need to get things done, their convenience and utility are unmatched. The 2022 Toyota Sienna is one of the newer minivans out there, fresh off a full redesign last year.

For its sophomore year, this generation Sienna gains a new Woodland Edition trim level. It has standard all-wheel drive, which is otherwise an option for the Sienna, plus a few other extra features including a household-style power outlet, a tow hitch and roof rails with crossbars. Toyota also gives the Woodland Edition a slightly higher ride height. The lift is only 0.6 inch, so you're not exactly going to be crawling up rocky trails in this thing, but all the same we give Toyota some credit for introducing an additional Sienna version for those who want it.

Otherwise, the Sienna carries on with its very efficient hybrid powertrain and cavernous interior. It's a strong choice among the few other minivans that include the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey and new Kia Carnival.

Toyota Sienna models:

The 2022 Toyota Sienna is sold in six trim levels: LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited and Platinum. All models are powered by a hybrid powertrain that uses a four-cylinder engine and has a combined output of 245 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional except on the Woodlands Edition, where it's standard. Depending on the trim, the Sienna is available with either an eight-passenger (second-row bench seat) or a seven-passenger (second-row captain's chairs) configuration.

A manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $34,560 plus a destination charge applies to the 8-seater 2022 Sienna LE. It’s a jump of just over $5k for the next-up XLE trim, which can be a 7-seater or an 8-seater but is priced the same.

The new-for-2022 Woodland Edition is $45,350. At the top of the range is the 7-seater Platinum model at $50k for the front-drive model. The biggest extra expense for this variant would be the rear-seat entertainment system, at about $1,400.

Adding all-wheel drive generally costs $2,000. But the XSE and Platinum versions only charge $760.

Standard Features:

The base trim of the 2022 Sienna range is the 8-seater LE, which has a perfectly respectable level of standard equipment. This includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights/taillights, heated side mirrors, powered sliding side doors, keyless entry/ignition, 3-zone automatic climate control, 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, second-row shades, and cloth upholstery.

Safety is well catered for, with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, active lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, and radar-based adaptive cruise control.

The infotainment system is controlled by a 9-inch touchscreen and contains Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa compatibility, Wi-Fi, seven USB ports, satellite radio, Bluetooth, plus six speakers.
