2019 Toyota Sienna: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Toyota Sienna is standard Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa compatibility on every trim. It is otherwise a light-update year, though AWD also joins the SE and SE Premium lineup.
About the 2019 Toyota Sienna
3rd generation Sienna (2011-2020), ninth model year, after the 2018 styling/tech update and before the all-new 2021 redesign.
Toyota positions the Sienna as the family van that handles nearly everything: room for up to eight, flexible seating and cargo space, standard active safety tech, and the segment’s standout available AWD system. Compared with rivals, its main pitch is everyday usefulness more than flashy design. Strong V6 power, wide sliding doors, family-friendly cabin layouts and year-round confidence are the reasons most shoppers choose it.
The 2019 lineup ranges from the practical L and family-focused LE to the comfort-oriented XLE, sporty SE, and luxury-focused Limited. The SE stands out with a sport-tuned suspension, athletic styling, and heated leather-trimmed seats, while the XLE emphasizes leather, heated front seats, and a moonroof. Limited Premium adds a 360-degree camera, a 16.4-inch rear entertainment screen, JBL audio with navigation, and a dual moonroof.
