    Toyota Sienna 2021 Wins Family Green Car of the Year

    The 2021 Toyota Sienna is now the Family Green Car of the Year thanks to winning that category in the 2021 Green Car Awards™.  With a standard hybrid powertrain across all trims and an array of new tech and amenities, the 2021 Toyota Sienna raises the bar for style, safety, comfort, versatility and fuel efficiency in its segment.

    “The fuel efficiency of this all-new 2021 Sienna makes it a cut above the rest,” said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor North America’s (TMNA) executive vice president of sales. “This award just further highlights our dedication to hybrids in North America and we’re humbly honored to have the new Sienna be recognized as the Family Green Car of the Year for 2021.”

    The fourth-gen Sienna, designed by the combined effort of CALTY’s Newport Beach, CA and Ann Arbor, MI studios, delivers a combination of room, comfort, convenience, fuel efficiency and versatility. The 2021 Sienna’s Toyota Hybrid System II delivers 245 total horsepower and an EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG fuel economy, the latter setting a benchmark for the segment, all while operating seamlessly and transparently.

    The 2021 Green Car of the Year® award winners were selected by a highly-respected jury comprised of energy and environmental leaders including Mindy Lubber, president of CERES; Jean-Michel Cousteau, president of Ocean Futures Society; Dr. Alan Lloyd, president emeritus of the International Council on Clean Transportation and senior research fellow at the Energy Institute, University of Texas at Austin; Clay Nesler, interim president of the Alliance to Save Energy; and Matt Petersen, president and CEO of Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator and advisory board chair of Climate Mayors. Celebrity auto enthusiast Jay Leno and Green Car Journal editors rounded out the Green Car of the Year® jury.

    The 2021 edition of the Toyota Sienna will be available at dealerships by November.

    The 2021 Toyota Sienna minivan arrives as an all-new model with a ton of changes. This 2021 edition is coming after many years on the market without an update.

    For starters, the Sienna arrives only as a hybrid, meaning there is no longer a simple V6 gas option. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine combines with electric motors to deliver 245 total system horsepower while returning an EPA-estimated 36 mpg and a 3,500-pound towing capacity.

    Toyota hopes this new Sienna can change people’s poor perceptions of minivans and get some SUV owners to switch over.

    This fourth generation of the mini-van by Toyota aims to redefine the segment. It was designed to support a wider array of life stages and activities.

    It raises the bar for style, safety, comfort, versatility and fuel efficiency in its segment.

    The 2021 Toyota Sienna was designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S. The bold and robust character of SUVs influenced the all-hybrid 2021 Sienna.

    It hosts many premium features: kick-open and closed sliding side doors and rear gate, four-zone climate control system, heated second-row super-long slide captain’s chairs with ottomans, power tilt and telescoping steering column with heated steering wheel, a digital rear-view mirror, 10-in. color head-up display and 12-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system.

    The 2021 Toyota Sienna is also ready for life’s outdoor adventures. This is aided by its all-wheel drive option – and is well-positioned for Yakima® accessories, such as a rooftop carrier, cross bars, bike rack and more.




    The Sienna will also offer an available tow hitch and factory optional 1,500-watt inverter with 120V AC outlet to power camping equipment.

    What’s more, all versions of the 2021 Sienna are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds. That’s enough to pull a well-equipped compact travel trailer, or simply carry your bikes for that weekend getaway.

    The fourth-gen Sienna delivers a combination of room, comfort, convenience, fuel efficiency and versatility.

    “This is an all-new vehicle from the ground up, including a new chassis platform as well as a new electrical platform,” said Chief Engineer Monte Kaehr.

    “The development of the fourth generation Sienna was a huge undertaking but we always worked towards one single mission—to make the best van yet.” 2021 Toyota Sienna

    This bold and innovative approach enabled the design team to create strong and robust proportions with a shoulder-themed body design, and muscular wheel flares that express athleticism.

    The body surface is boldly sculpted, a fresh departure from the typical, boxy minivan driving on the roads today.
