2014 Toyota Sienna: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Toyota Sienna is a light-update year, not a redesign. The main change is standard factory tow-preparation hardware on every trim, supporting a maximum 3,500-pound towing rating when properly set up.
About the 2014 Toyota Sienna
3rd generation (2011-2020), fourth model year and final year before the 2015 mid-cycle refresh
Toyota positioned the Sienna as a roomy family vehicle that combines strong V6 performance, flexible seven- or eight-passenger seating, and a large cargo area. Its standout difference among 2014 minivans was that LE, XLE, and Limited examples were built in both FWD and AWD configurations. Easy-access sliding doors, removable second-row seating, a floor-folding third row, and a 3,500-pound towing rating support school runs, road trips, and bulky cargo.
The 2014 Sienna lineup ranges from the practical seven-passenger L to family-focused LE and XLE models with conveniences such as power sliding doors, automatic climate control, and leather seating on XLE. The SE has a lower, firmer suspension and sharper steering, while the Limited adds lounge-style second-row chairs, dual moonroofs, premium audio, parking sensors, and blind-spot monitoring.
