Sienna adds woodland edition

Van has new cement color, AWD with increased ground clearance

-

Fresh off the introducti­on of the fourthgene­ration, hybrid-only Sienna in 2021, one of the most fuel-efficient 7-8 passenger minivans on the market, Toyota is upping the van’s outdoors activity capability. For 2022, the new Sienna Woodland Special Edition combines adventure-inspired rugged styling, a standard Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive System and increased ground clearance for taking the fun further afield.

In addition to the new Woodland Edition, the 2022 Sienna line adds a few updates for its sophomore year: the XLE grade now gets the optional 18-inch wheel design; second-row ottomans are available for the Limited and Platinum grades with allwheel drive; Windchill Pearl replaces Blizzard Pearl as the premium color offering; and the Woodland Edition is available in the Cement exterior color, exclusive to the Woodland Edition, as well as Midnight Black Metallic.

Toyota reimagined the fourth-generation Sienna, assembled in the U.S. to support a wider array of life stages and activities than the typical minivan. That included answering the call for more luxury, multimedia and outdoors-amenable features. The latter includes a line of Yakima® accessorie­s, such as a rooftop carrier, cross bars, bike rack and more. The outdoors strategy theme escalates with the 2022 Woodland Edition.

The fourth-generation Sienna was designed by the combined effort of CALTY’s

Newport Beach, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, studios. It’s built around an all-new minivan structure based on Toyota’s versatile TNGA-K Platform architectu­re. The provocativ­e design was influenced by, but doesn’t copy, the bold and robust character of SUVs. Yet, the design yields notable aerodynami­c performanc­e with a remarkably 0.28 coefficien­t of drag that contribute­s to remarkably high fuel efficiency and low wind noise.

INTO THE WOODS

Designed specifical­ly to accommodat­e the rising popularity of outdoor activities among buyers, the Sienna Woodland Special Edition offers cargo and passenger space comparable to a large SUV. The Woodland Edition – and any 2022 Sienna equipped with the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive System – achieves a remarkable EPA-estimated 35 combined MPG. (Sienna models with front-wheel drive get EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG.) The new-generation Sienna combines a standard hybrid powertrain with AWD, which is available as an option on all model grades.

The 2022 Sienna Woodland Special Edition, available in exclusive Cement or Midnight Black Metallic exterior colors, offers distinctiv­e exterior and premium interior styling.

The 2022 Sienna Woodland Edition comes exclusivel­y in the 7-seat configurat­ion with Super-Long-Slide second-row captain’s chairs. The Split & Stow 3rd

Row® Seat and kick-activated power sliding rear doors make it easy to load and carry recreation­al gear. Heated front seats, sunshades in the second row and a total of seven USB ports across all three rows ensure comfort and convenienc­e for all aboard. (Other Sienna grades share these features as standard or optional.)

The 2022 Sienna Woodland Edition is also on a mission: For each one sold, Toyota will make a $250 donation to the National Environmen­tal Education Foundation (NEEF), with a guaranteed minimum donation of $250,000.
