Toyota Sienna vs Volkswagen Tiguan

With power sliding side doors, three rows of comfortable seats, and plenty of expandable cargo room, the 2026 Sienna checks off the minivan must-haves — even though its maximum cargo room pales in comparison to other minivans. It offers standard hybrid power, too, accompanied by the best-in-class fuel economy for a minivan. There's even an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system that adds extra traction in the winter.

Verdict: The 2026 Toyota Sienna’s safety ratings are a concern, but rivals don’t offer significantly better overall performance in this area. So, if shoppers want a fuel-efficient minivan equipped with AWD, here it is.
