Summary Review
Toyota’s Sienna has long been a favorite of families who wanted an all-wheel-drive minivan, but its appeal goes deeper than that one feature. The Sienna changes in very important ways for 2021 that make it hard to pass up for those seeking the best cost of ownership in this segment.

Kia changed its minivan name, and substantially upped its game, when it introduced the stylish and feature-laded Kia Carnival.
