The classic Toyota minivan turns 25 and you get a gift. Kind of. Either way, you have the option of purchasing a special edition marking the moment.
The Toyota Sienna first appeared for the 1998 model year. 2023 is its silver anniversary. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Toyota is producing 2,525 25th Anniversary Edition Siennas.
The Sienna is a solid choice in the minivan segment – it won our Best Buy award for its combination of great fuel economy, great resale value and a long list of standard features. But the key to deciding if a special edition is a good buy is often the price. Toyota hasn’t released it yet.
It will be available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The current 2022 Sienna starts at $35,285. The Sienna stands out from every other minivan on the market in that it comes standard with a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain that earns 36 mpg combined.
Silver theme throughout
The Silver Anniversary Edition is of course silver. Or white. Your choice. Black badges and window trim dress the exterior, as do darker 20-inch wheels.
Inside, the silver theme continues with contrasting silver stitching on the black leather upholstery. Sill plates illuminate with the 25th Anniversary badge. Badges also adorn the floor mats.
It carries all the gear of the “sporty” XSE edition (we’re grading on a curve here). This includes sleeker front and rear bumpers.
Buyers also get a few features from the more upscale Limited model. These include heated and cooled front seats with memory settings for the driver. The rear seats are equipped with deployable leg rests. JBL speakers, wireless phone charging, and a 1,500-watt power outlet round out the special features.
The 25th Anniversary Edition of the Sienna is expected to hit dealerships this fall.
