ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Toyota Sienna?
The 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid AWD carries three active recall campaigns, a factor reflected in its defect record sub-score of 16.25 out of 20. This contributes to a Safety Index of 87/100, placing it in the Strong band, a single-point decrease from the 2021 model year's 88/100. Despite this, the vehicle achieves a 5-star overall NHTSA rating, anchored by a perfect 5-star side-impact result. The crash-protection sub-score stands at 61 out of 70. Its avoidance-tech sub-score reaches the maximum 10 out of 10, attributed to standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. The electronic stability control software recall is particularly significant, given this system's role in earning full avoidance-tech credit; timely remedy completion is critical. Further recalls concern seat-belt anchorage on eight-passenger trims and a wheelchair restraint campaign for mobility-equipped versions. Prospective buyers of a used 2022 unit should verify recall completion by VIN before purchase.
