2025: 266 complaints, 4.2 times the typical year. Most complaints name the seats (80% of complaints) and the wipers and visibility (7% of complaints).

What are the best Toyota Sienna Hybrid years?

The Toyota Sienna Hybrid years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2022 (15), 2021 (43) and 2023 (64). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
