I have a 2022 sienna awd. Summer time in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 I got around 750 kilometres for a tank or regular gas. In winter it's down to 450 -500 kilometres for a tank ... these hybdrids are not meant for severe cold weather regions
9:48 So could be anecdotal, but I had this problem in my prius. I would go to fill and it would take 1 gallon of gas or so and no more. It would do what your sienna did (visibly full) or it would actually puke the gas out. Took to toyota and they said it was because I was "topping off" and they were right. You don't go past the first click. Car is full. There is a vapor system in your tank that clicks off the fuel pump. If you constantly top off, it will cause issues. Another thing they told me is if you fill it too close to full often (refueling before the half tank marker on fuel gauge) it could also cause the issue. I think hybrids/toyotas specifically are more sensitive to this issue. always topped off my junky taurus and never had that issue.
It needs to be a 300 mile test to get an accurate measure of mpg. That way the variance in the fill that occurs toward the top of the tank is minimized as a portion of the overall fill. This is true for any vehicle.
I keep an Excel spreadsheet for mileage on all my vehicles. I can tell you exactly how many gallons of fuel I have bought over the years, and the actual overall MPG. The onboard reading on my Odyssey is always 1 to 2 mpg higher than actual.
I might have been one of those that commented about a minivan loaded up. I'm more concerned how well the Sienna performs with a load since it has an electric motor assisting with acceleration, especially on how well can it pass in a short amount of time. I have a 2015 Chrysler T&C and it's a slug with 4-5 adults in it, especially if I need to dart out in a short break of fast moving traffic and I'm having to white knuckle the steering wheel while I'm winding out that Pentastar. I know the Sienna is slower than all the minivans when they're empty, but how about when they're all loaded with 1000 lbs of people and their stuff.
@@occckid123 nah it is slightly slower but overall about the same. The problem is loaded up with people the sienna will definitely feel quite slow. Honestly though the mpg trade off is probably worth it because most of the time you don't have a full load. But if you frequently carry many people and do long trips the V6 in competitors is nicer.
I think I have the answer for your dilemma with fueling up. The car mpg is combined electric and gas. So if most of your power is coming from the battery and not the combustion engine, than your refuel amount is correct. If You could somehow find what the mpg was for the gas only, then you would get a lower mpg. But your mpg of 50+ is accurate when both are combined
Idk if you'll actually save money 9n a Sienna when you factor 8n the higher initial cost plus 4k for battery replacement that will eventually need to happen
I’m trying to save up enough for a sienna van I want to Uber with it I currently do Spark driving for Walmart and Doordash and I drive a 2012 Malibu I take care of it it has 170,000 on it. I bought it brand new, it still runs good just replace the fuel pump. My radiator fluid was leaking and I couldn’t tell where or why glad I got it fixed. Otherwise that was a car killer. Anyways, it’s all about comfort for me and gas mileage for sienna fits that model
MULTIPLE PEOPLE ROADTEST IDEA: In order to test the 5-7 person mpg test, maybe you could simulate the weight of the people using heavy items like dog food bags, lead bars, sacks of sand. Like say you want to test for six people in the van. The average adult weights about 185 pounds, so times that by 2 because they're most likely going to be 2 parents and then 4 teens being on average 111 pounds. So if you got 2 adults and 4 teens could in total put an extra 815 pounds of weight in the car not including yourself, you should get pretty accurate test results. Just an idea.
I think you need to rethink this test a bit for hybrids. Besides filling the gas tank you also need to factor in refilling the battery to the same degree at the end if you are tring to do an MPG number. If the battery was 100% at start but only 10% at the end then doing a pump fill test is going to give you misleading numbers.
Useless test without a stop-and-go traffic condition. With my Acura 6 cylinder, I can easily reach 36mpg or above in a high-way, traffic-free condition.
We own a 2021 Sienna and we love it! Saves money on fuel!
I have a 2022 on order. I would have loved to test drive one before ordering it.

Thanks for the info. I'm in Alberta as well. 1.5 years and still waiting for mine... the wait is brutal!
I have my dad have 2023 sienna fwd
Charlie, I hope everyone stays all the way to the end for the surprising plot twist😁
At 70-75 mph I get 33 mpg with four adults and cargo in my 2022 sienna xle awd.
When I go 60-65 I get 35-36
When I cruise town I get 37-41
Geez minimum 33mpg on a tank of a vehicle. This should. E more popular than the camry.

No sir a real world driving test is what he is doing. It does not get any more real world. Anything more and it’s scientific 🧫

Still will be slower. It might actually be more noticeable with the lack of horsepower at higher speeds.
@@ayushmalpeddi2793it's not any slower than driving a v6 dodge Durango.

Put bags of dog food in each seat and the trunk. Then after the test, drop them at the nearest animal shelter.

is this a platinum trim?
Yes he mentioned it in the video
If you traveled at 65 mph the fuel economy would be even better
60 is better than 65😉
Mine get real good mileage at 45 to 50.
Yup. Once I hit 70-75 in my 2022 sienna it goes from 35-36 down to 33.
@@robertheinkel6225 My 01 at sea level got 22 mpg at 45-55. In the mountains 5-10k doing 55-60mph I can hit 25.

Large water containers work too
Love our 22 SIENNA XLE AWD. Average 35-37. Got 45.5 the other day. Not sure how haha.
Love our 23 SIENNA XSE FWD
I think Toyota acknowledged the gas tank fill up problem if not in this model, another model
not getting even close to that....about 25 mpg with normal driving...hmmmmm now what to do?
It’s a hybrid. It’s not made for highway driving. You’ll get better economy on the city.
👎👎👎
he literally said that in the video lmao
hybrids built on the tnga platform have the same fuel consumption in the city and on the highway
It's in rural communities where the mpg peaks for me, because there is no way to race on the one lane roads.
I would love to see a hypermiling trip with this
Our 2019 V6 Sienna AWD gets 440 miles of range. At that point, you’re looking for a bathroom way before a gas station.

You could have added some weights 💁🏾
I'm worried about the ground clearance...
You can get a 2 inch lift. They do it at Toyota in Oregon so I’m sure the kit must be something you can order.
@@ryanrego808 thank you!
The Toyota Motor Corporation would be happy to sell you the Sienna Woodland edition!
The maintenance cost is going to be much cheaper with this engine set up than the V6.
You divided km/galloon. You were supposed to do miles/galloon, which is exactly 33mpg
48 miles an hour is pretty slow for driving on the highway. I think the minimum is 55 for the max is 65.
is it really feel like it has 400hp?
You're not supposed to 3 click Toyota hybrids. It can cause extremely expensive damages.
What does 3-click mean?
What is 3 click
@@LamNguyen-sr1sy after the first click of the pump when full, don't add any more. It is completely full at that point

The battery is charged by the engine, so it is already calculated into the MPG. It is not a plug in hybrid.
This sienna van is a gas and EV?
Yes, all new Siennas are gas-electric hybrid.
over $50k ? For that price you can prob get a used gas older model for a few thousand and save money.
Hybrid are bought for in town MPGs. You should do test for that
I drive a mixture of highway and city and just averaged 42.6
@@occckid123 same!
I think you used 102.2 kilometers value
Divide that by 1.6 = 63.875 miles now divide that by gallons 1.918 , you get 33 MPG
