Best Minivan: 2023 Toyota Sienna

Here’s another ‘small’ segment, but it retains a hardcore fanbase and the few combatants in it have gotten better and better in recent years. KBB’s champ, for the third straight year, is the Toyota Sienna, now standard with a hybrid system and still offering unbeatable interior space and practicality. And this being a Toyota, resale value is very high.

What KBB liked:

  • Roominess and practicality like no SUV can offer
  • Comfortable seating
  • Smooth, pleasant ride
  • AWD
  • Hybrid powertrain, meaning great fuel economy, but no range anxiety
  • Excellent safety ratings (best-possible IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation)
  • Low maintenance costs to be expected
  • Resale value
  • Exterior styling (yes, even that!)
