TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Toyota Highlander learned new tricks to keep us entertained on the road, when we’re not asleep in the back anyway.

With a 36-mpg hybrid powertrain for the entire lineup, the 2021 Toyota Sienna offers a mashup of swagger and sustainability.

TCC Likes

Better style
New sporty XSE look
Still practical…

All three rows are adult-sized
Awesome mpg given the space
Rides and handles better than an SUV

TCC Dislikes

Infotainment is still a headache
Exterior is a little busy
Pricey top models

Not as quick as other minivans
Can’t remove second-row seats
No plug-in Prime
