(September 23, 2021) PLANO, Texas — Fresh off the introduction of the fourth-generation, 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 all-wheel 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. Added standard and exclusive features include:

    •    Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive plus added ground clearance to take on dirt roads with confidence
    •    1,500-watt inverter with 120V AC outlet to power camping equipment or most household items for a short daytrip or an overnight camping excursion
    •    Tow hitch with 3500-lb. towing capability – ideal for hauling personal watercraft, dirt bikes or ATVs
    •    Roof rails with crossbars
    •    Black sport-trimmed seats with unique earth-tone stitch color
    •    18-in. alloy wheels
    •    Dark chrome-colored accents
    •    Black badging
    •    Navigation with JBL 1200W Audio System with 12 speakers

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. The funds will support NEEF’s mission to make the environment more accessible, relatable, relevant and connected to people’s lives.
