Toyota’s styling is closer to an SUV than a minivan.
However, it is an eight-seater to make it a practical minivan for larger families or other drivers who frequently have a lot of passengers.
Another surprising detail of Toyota Sienna is that all its models are hybrid vehicles.
The base model of the Toyota Sienna is the front-wheel drive LE, and Toyota claims that it starts at $35,385.
According to Edmunds, this hybrid minivan from Toyota is powered by a 2.5-liter, 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine and its hybrid system produces 245 horsepower.
Because of the fuel-efficient hybrid, the redesigned Toyota Sienna is estimated at 36 mpg (6.6 liters) in the city and on the highway.

The Toyota Tundra is Toyota’s signature full-size pickup, it’s known for being a durable and versatile truck.
However, it is not generally considered fuel efficient or hybrid. While it’s true that the base trim model is a petrol-only truck, some higher trims of the Tundra have a hybrid setup.
Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is a hybrid pickup with increased horsepower and torque compared to lower Tundra versions.
According to Toyota, the Tundra TRD Pro is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 engine and an electric motor that helps it add 48 horsepower.
Edmunds points out that the Tundra’s hybrid setup gives it a total of 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque.
However, this hybrid setup doesn’t change the Tundra’s mileage significantly, as it hits 18 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway (13 liters and 12 litres respectively).
The standard Tundra gets 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway (13.8 liters and 10.6 liters respectively).
Tundra TRD Pro is priced at 68,520 USD (equivalent to 1.7 billion) MSRP.

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a three-row SUV and is also a hybrid. It offers the same practical benefits as a standard Highlander and adds to the efficiency of a hybrid.
According to Edmunds, the Highlander Hybrid includes a 2.5-liter inline-four and a hybrid setup that gives it 243 horsepower. Toyota claims that the Hybrid SUV can achieve 36 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway (6.5 liters and 6.7 liters respectively).

Advanced safety features include blind spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and lane departure warning.
In terms of multimedia, the Highlander Hybrid is equipped with both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

For the 2023 model year, Toyota’s full-size SUV got a pretty big makeover. It’s currently only available as a hybrid, which means the Sequoia could get some fuel efficiency gains.
According to Toyota, the standard Sequoia models come with a twin-turbo V6 hybrid setup that produces 437 horsepower.
Toyota says it can achieve 21 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway (10 liters and 9.8 litres respectively).
