Comparing the 2025 Toyota Sienna vs. the 2025 Toyota Sequoia at Your Toyota Dealership

Class and Design

One of the most popular vehicles in the minivan segment, the 2025 Sienna, is a versatile family vehicle focused on passenger comfort and fuel economy. Its exterior design incorporates sporty visual cues, such as an aggressive front grille and slim LED headlights that offer outstanding illumination. The power sliding doors are a game-changer, offering easy access to the spacious cabin, especially when holding young children.

The 2025 Sequoia is a ​truck-based three-row full-size SUV designed for outdoor adventures. Its generous ground clearance and standard 18-inch wheels optimize it for off-roading, while the ​robust towing capacity makes ​it ideal for families who frequently haul boats or camper trailers.

Engine and Performance

Built for the pavement, the 2025 Sienna uses a 245-hp 2.5L hybrid engine and comes in standard front-wheel drive, delivering EPA estimates of 36 MPG both in the city and on highways. Normal, Eco, and Sport drive modes allow you to adjust performance during your daily rides, while an EV mode allows you to move the minivan on electric power only at low speeds and for short distances. All-wheel drive is available across the lineup.

Much more powerful, the 2025 Sequoia uses a 437-hp i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine that can tackle all terrains and tow up to 9,520 pounds. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but you can customize this SUV with available four-wheel drive and terrain-specific drive modes, optimizing it for rugged outdoor adventures. Class IV trailering provisions and a tow/haul drive mode are standard.

Interior and Cargo

Designed with comfort in mind, the Sienna boasts standard seating for eight and a flexible interior layout. The second-row bench boasts a stowable middle seat, while the 60/40 split One-Motion-Stow third-row bench offers 38.7 inches of legroom and is easy to fold or unfold to cater to your passenger and cargo volume needs. With all seats up, this minivan offers 33.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

The Sequoia also comes standard with seats for eight and boasts sliding third-row seats that provide up to 33.7 inches of legroom when pushed full rearward or 22.3 cubic feet of rear cargo volume when pushed full forward. Both models are available in seven-seat interior configurations with second-row captain’s chairs, and the Sienna can also be customized with a convenient FridgeBox and an integrated vacuum.
