The 2025 Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid AWD is the only minivan you can buy with both AWD and a hybrid powertrain — and at 36 MPG, it's also by far the most efficient.

Driving Performance & Handling
Every Sienna uses the same 245 hp hybrid system, and the 7.4-second 0–60 tells you its priorities: this drivetrain exists to return 36 MPG in a 4,690 lb, eight-seat van, not to entertain. It is also the only way to get AWD and a hybrid in one minivan.

On-Road Price & Value for Money
| Starting MSRP | $46,350 |
Starting at $46,350, the Sienna makes a running-cost case no other minivan can: 36 MPG and a 648-mile tank range. The Honda Odyssey has no hybrid to answer with, and the Chrysler Pacifica's plug-in alternative pays off only if you can charge at home.
Comparison with Rivals
Key competitors include the Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and Kia Carnival.
The Pacifica Hybrid is a plug-in (35 miles electric only) — interesting if you can charge. The Odyssey doesn't offer a hybrid. The Carnival looks like an SUV but doesn't hybrid either.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Only minivan with both hybrid and AWD
36 MPG real-world
Built-in vacuum and powered sliding doors
Toyota reliability
Cons
No V6 option for those who miss the power
Some second-row configurations cramp third row
Pricey at top trims
Overall Rating
4.5 / 5 — the efficiency and AWD monopoly among minivans, with family-friendly tech to match; losing the old V6's power, second-row layouts that can cramp row three, and top-trim pricing are the gripes.
