Best minivan: Toyota Sienna

Last year we placed the Chrysler Pacifica on the top step of the podium for a thousand and one reasons, but this year, it has to make way for the newly revised – nay, transformed – 2021 Toyota Sienna. This trusty vehicle has been completely redesigned from top to bottom. While the Chrysler minivan is also redesigned for 2021, re-welcoming all-wheel drive and retaining a plug-in hybrid option in the process, the new Sienna sets new class standards with a hybrid powertrain on all trim levels, as well as all-wheel drive available across the entire range.

Of course, I'm giving the Chrysler Pacifica honourable mention for 2021; the American automaker invented the concept in the early 1980s, after all.

From our review:

"Where the new Sienna shines is in the rigidity of its chassis, which is of the new generation based on the TNGA platform. The firmness makes itself felt on the steering wheel, for example on approaching sharp corners when the Sienna is simply more reassuring."
