ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Toyota Sienna?
The 2025 Toyota Sienna posts a Safety Index of 86 out of 100, a one-point dip from the 2024 model's 87. Both years sit in the Strong band, so the movement is modest, but the direction is worth noting. The index breakdown reveals where the slight decline originates: crash protection scores 61 out of a possible 70, avoidance technology earns a full 10 out of 10 reflecting the standard fitment of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control, and the defect record component lands at 15 out of 20. That 15 out of 20 defect score is the most consequential drag on the index this year. A single recall tied to wheelchair restraint anchorage on adapted configurations is the formal defect record, but the complaint tally of 254 reports, heavily concentrated in the Seats category at 208 unverified allegations, is unusually high and is what distinguishes this model year from a pure numbers standpoint. The five-star overall NHTSA rating and the No Tip dynamic result remain genuine strengths. Shoppers should treat the seat-related complaint volume as a signal to investigate further, not as confirmed defects.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Toyota Sienna perform in crash tests?
The 2025 Toyota Sienna achieved a 5 out of 5 star overall safety rating from NHTSA, anchored by a perfect 5 star score in side-impact protection.
