2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid: Smart Fuel Savings for New Brunswick Families

The 2026 Toyota Sienna delivers what matters most to New Brunswick families: reliable transportation that doesn't drain the wallet at the pump. Now on sale at Saint John Toyota, this exclusively hybrid minivan combines practical fuel economy with the space and capability families need for daily life—from school drop-offs in Saint John to weekend trips across the province.

Every Sienna runs on Toyota's proven hybrid-electric powertrain, eliminating the choice between efficiency and functionality. With ratings of 6.6 L/100 km for front-wheel drive models and 6.8 L/100 km for all-wheel drive configurations, the Sienna makes fuel savings automatic. For families managing tight schedules and tighter budgets, these numbers translate to real money saved over thousands of kilometres of hockey practices, grocery runs, and family road trips.

Hybrid Power That Works for Real Life

The Sienna's 2.5 L four-cylinder engine works alongside two electric motor/generators and high-capacity batteries to produce 245 system horsepower. This setup delivers smooth acceleration without the fuel consumption of traditional V6 minivans.

The hybrid system operates seamlessly—no need to plug in, no range anxiety, no change to your routine. The powertrain automatically switches between gas and electric power based on driving conditions, maximizing efficiency without driver input.

Key Powertrain Highlights:

• 2.5 L four-cylinder hybrid engine with 245 system horsepower
• Front-wheel drive: 6.6 L/100 km (city/highway combined)
• All-wheel drive: 6.8 L/100 km (city/highway combined)
• No plug-in required—refuel at any gas station

All-Wheel Drive for New Brunswick Weather

Toyota's electronic on-demand all-wheel drive system addresses the reality of New Brunswick winters. The system automatically distributes torque between front and rear wheels based on road conditions, providing added confidence on snow-covered streets or icy highway stretches.

The AWD system activates only when needed, maintaining the Sienna's strong fuel economy. At 6.8 L/100 km, the AWD configuration adds just 0.2 L/100 km compared to front-wheel drive—a minimal efficiency trade-off for year-round capability.

Space and Comfort for Growing Families

The Sienna accommodates up to eight passengers with a second-row bench seat, or seven with available captain's chairs. Multi-zone climate control allows each row to set independent temperature preferences—ending backseat arguments over heating levels during cold Maritime mornings.

All models include eight-way power-adjustable driver's seats, heated front seats, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. Power sliding doors come standard, making entry and exit easier in tight parking spaces or when juggling kids and gear.

Higher trim levels add features like heated and ventilated front seats, second-row captain's seats with built-in ottomans, and a rear-seat entertainment system for longer trips.

Technology That Simplifies Daily Driving

Every Sienna includes the Toyota Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The system connects to smartphones without cables, keeping the cabin organized and phones charged via the standard wireless charging dock.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 comes standard across all configurations, providing active safety technologies that support driver awareness. The suite includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Automatic High Beams.

Additional standard safety features include the Blind Spot Monitor System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, backup camera, and 10 airbags.

• Traditional minivan: approximately 2,200 litres consumed
• Annual fuel savings: approximately 840 litres

At current New Brunswick fuel prices, these savings help offset monthly payments while reducing environmental impact.
