Exterior
Standard features on the exterior of the Sienna include a sleek black grille, LED lights, heated power outside mirrors with blind spot indicators, dual power sliding side doors, wipers in the front and back, and a black shark-fin antenna. Moving up to the top-of-the-line Limited adds a memory feature to the side mirrors and chrome roof rails.
Interior
Starting off, three-zone automatic climate control will keep you and your passengers comfortable on every drive. But you can upgrade to four-zone control on the XLE and above. A 1080p HD Entertainment Center is available as an add-on package and comes with an 11.6-inch display, HDMI inputs, a remote, and two wireless headphones.
Performance
One of the biggest changes for the 2021 model is the addition of a standard hybrid powertrain. The 2.5-liter engine and electric motors output a combined 245 horsepower when equipped with the electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission with sequential shift mode. As a result, the 2021 Sienna can get up to 36 mpg city, highway, and combined.

The only non-standard safety feature on the base trim is Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, which is standard on the XLE and above.
