Toyota Plans to Boost Sienna Output to Meet Increased Demand

Toyota said it would bump production by around 20 percent, increasing output from 71,000 to 85,000 units. The Sienna’s principal engineer, Christian Chock, said the production “got hit hard during COVID, and Sienna got kicked in the teeth, but we’ve been recovering since then, so it’s ramping up and up.” Much of the demand for the van has gone unmet due to production constraints, so the boost in output could help Toyota grab more market share.

The 2025 Sienna received no visual updates, but the cabin received a new standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and Toyota now offers a minifridge and vacuum cleaner system. It also gets Toyota’s new rear-seat reminder system as standard, which uses an interior radar system that is so sensitive that it can detect passengers’ heartbeats and breathing.

Despite its increasing sales, the Sienna remains in third place among minivans. The Chrysler Pacifica is the king of the segment, with a 39 percent share, followed by the Honda Odyssey with 25 percent. Pricing for the 2025 van starts at $40,635.
