Test drive: 2021 Toyota Sienna
The 2021 Toyota Sienna is the first hybrid version of the minivan, but much more than that according to Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu
The AWD Toyota Sienna is ready for something more than the school run.

Toyota is introducing a Woodland Special Edition version of the hybrid minivan that's been designed to go off-road, but don't start packing for the Rubicon Trail just yet.
The Woodland gets a .6-inch increase in ground clearance for a total of 6.9 inches, which should help it get down unpaved trails to camping sites, but is still less than most SUVs provide.

The entire Sienna lineup is now hybrid, and the AWD model adds an electric motor that drives the rear wheels, which is basically the same setup as the one in the Toyota Highlander that's built on the same platform.
