2026 Toyota Sienna in Claremont: Your Complete Guide at Claremont Toyota

Absolutely. In 2026, you can only get a Toyota Sienna as a hybrid; they aren't making one with just a gasoline engine, nor is there a completely electric option. Each of the Siennas, from the LE all the way to the Platinum, has the identical engine: a 2.5 liter Atkinson-cycle four cylinder engine working with an electric motor and a CVT transmission. This makes the Sienna different from the Honda Odyssey, the Kia Carnival, and the standard Chrysler Pacifica, all of which have regular gasoline engines.

You'll get around 35 or 36 miles per gallon in general with the 2026 Toyota Sienna and front-wheel drive; it uses its normal 2.5 liter Atkinson cycle hybrid engine. Versions with all-wheel drive don't quite do as well, as they have an extra electric motor in the back, and that, along with the heavier build, lowers the mileage. Because of this, the Sienna gets excellent gas mileage and is one of the most efficient minivans you can buy in the United States.

Absolutely. All five versions of the 2026 Sienna can be equipped with Electronic On-Demand All Wheel Drive. Toyota doesn't send a driveshaft to the back wheels, but uses a separate electric motor in the rear; this activates when the car senses the wheels are losing grip. This gives you improved control in the rain or on somewhat rough terrain, and importantly, it doesn't really decrease the hybrid engine's already good gas mileage.

You can get the 2026 Sienna in five different versions: LE, XLE, XSE, Limited and Platinum. The LE is where you’ll find the best price. If you’re looking for things to make the family more comfortable, the XLE has heated front seats. The XSE is for those wanting a sporty look and a sportier drive, with darkened details on the outside. The Limited gets you second-row captain’s chairs with footrests, plus a much nicer set of technology. And at the very top of the line, the Platinum boasts a cooled compartment in the center console, a bird’s-eye view when parking, and a superior sound system.

Most versions of the 2026 Sienna will comfortably hold eight people because they have three rows of seats and a bench for the second row. If you get one of the fancier Limited or Platinum models, though, the second row gets captain's chairs instead of a bench. With captain's chairs, you can only fit seven total, but the people in the middle row get their own armrests and a footrest. Regardless of which second row you have, adults can actually sit in the third row - and that is unusual for a three row SUV in this price range.

Absolutely. Every version of the 2026 Sienna will have both back side doors that open with power and slide back into place, and a liftgate that also opens with power. When you’re getting kids, car seats, or groceries into the car in a small parking space, sliding doors are much easier to use because you don't need as much space for them to open - unlike a normal door that swings out. This is a significant advantage over many three-row SUVs in tight parking situations.

All 2026 Siennas have Toyota Safety Sense. This set of features covers warning you about a possible crash and noticing people on foot, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert (and it’ll help steer you back), auto high beams, plus road sign assist. If you choose a more expensive version of the Sienna you’ll also find that it warns you about cars in your blind spot, alerts you to traffic coming from the sides when reversing, and has a panoramic view monitor for much easier parking.

The Sienna’s main advantage over the Odyssey is that it’s a hybrid and comes with a hybrid engine as standard. That gets around 35 to 36 miles per gallon overall, something the Odyssey’s normal gasoline engine can't manage. And the Sienna is available with all-wheel drive, a feature the Odyssey doesn't have.

The Odyssey’s strong point is its “Magic Slide” second row seats, which are much easier to move around with car seats. Therefore, if you’re particularly interested in how much gas a vehicle uses and getting a good grip on the road, the Sienna is the more sensible option. But if you find yourself needing to change the seating arrangement all the time, the Odyssey could be a better choice.

The Pacifica is the only minivan where you can fold the second and third row seats completely flat into the floor, giving you a lot more space for things. And you can get a Pacifica that runs only on electricity for a certain distance. The Sienna does things differently; it is a hybrid (and it’s a hybrid all the time, no charging needed), you can get it with all-wheel drive, and Toyotas are known for being dependable.

If you regularly carry a lot of stuff, you should consider the Pacifica. But if you want a vehicle that’s good in any weather and will cost less to fuel, the Sienna is likely the better choice.

The Kia Carnival looks a lot more like a chunky SUV than most minivans, has seating for as many as eight people, and you get a lot of equipment included with the initial cost. However, it only runs on gasoline - there’s no hybrid version or all-wheel drive available. Consequently, it doesn't get as good gas mileage as the Sienna, and isn't as sure-footed in snow or rain. But if how a vehicle looks is your priority over saving on fuel, the Carnival is worth considering. When you need a hybrid or all-wheel drive in a minivan, you’ll be looking at the Toyota Sienna or the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid.

How much the vehicle costs will vary with the chosen trim level, the type of power going to the wheels (drivetrain), and any extra features you select. The LE is the base model, beginning the range and the Platinum is the most luxurious. Because the manufacturer’s suggested retail price and special offers are updated during the year, to find out the present costs at Claremont Toyota, either phone our sales department or look at what we have in stock online at /new-vehicles/.

How much you’ll pay each month depends on several factors; the specific version of the car you choose (the “trim”), the length of your lease, how many miles you’re allowed to drive, your down payment and Toyota Financial Services’ current rates. Incentives in Southern California change monthly, and because of this, the amounts will vary. To get a payment quote that’s right for you, either contact our finance department or submit an application online.

The 2026 Sienna is perfectly fine for pulling relatively small things. I mean, a little utility trailer, a jet ski, or even a little camper are all good, as long as you don't exceed the towing limit that's been officially given. That limit does change depending on if it's front wheel, all wheel, or rear wheel drive. If you’d like to know exactly how much your Sienna can tow, and if there's a special ‘towing package’ you can get from the factory, then contact someone from our sales or service departments.

Absolutely. We take care of all the upkeep for your Sienna Hybrid, covering everything from simple oil changes, to looking at the hybrid battery and doing repairs on the high voltage parts. We have proper Toyota parts (what they’re actually made in the factory with) and the mechanics do things exactly as Toyota says they should. Generally, you won't need to get a hybrid maintained as often as a normal car. Because of the way it slows down (regenerative braking) your brakes last longer, and your engine isn't running as much when you are driving in most situations.

Driving in the Inland Empire is pretty easy in the 2026 Sienna. The hybrid engine is great in all the starting and stopping you do during a commute, because it gets power back into the battery when you slow down, and the smooth, electric-supported ride makes long drives between Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and anywhere in Los Angeles County much less tiring. You can get all-wheel drive for a sure feeling when the roads are wet, and with eight seats, sharing rides with others is sensible, potentially letting you use the carpool lane (if the particular Sienna setup qualifies).
