The Toyota Sienna is a minivan built in the United States for the North American market, and shares its platform and engine with the Toyota Camry. It replaced the Previa in 1998 as a more conventional front wheel drive van, and was updated for 2004 with a larger model.

In late 1997, Toyota replaced its unconventional mid-engined Toyota Previa minivan with the larger front wheel drive 1998 Toyota Sienna in the North American market (the Previa design is still available to the rest of the world as the Toyota Estima). The Toyota Sienna had a 3.0 L V6 engine rated at 145 kW and 284 Nm of torque. Built on an extended Toyota Camry platform, the Sienna was marketed as the "Camry of minivans".

Fuel economy was 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. It was built in Georgetown, Kentucky. In 2001, the Sienna got a very minor makeover, changing the rear tail lights to the newer trend of only showing red and white, and adding a VVT-i equipped engine, with 210 horsepower.

In January 2003, the second generation Sienna was shown at the Detroit Auto Show. Production shifted to Princeton, Indiana, and the Georgetown plant was retooled to build the second generation Camry Solara. The new Sienna had a 3.3 L engine from the Camry. The new Sienna offered features such as a fold-flat 60/40 third-row seat, eight passenger seating, backup sensors, rear view camera, kid view mirror, available all wheel drive, a navigation system, and a more luxurious XLE Limited model. Fuel economy is 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

In July 2005, changes for the 2006 model year were announced. The front fascia, side molding, and rear taillights were redesigned. The measurements for horsepower and torque were changed to the SAE's new specifications (to 215 hp and 222 ft·lbf.). Optitron gauges were added to LE, XLE, and Limited trims. The "XLE" prefix in "XLE Limited" was cut off. Power driver's seat memory option was also added to XLE and Limited trims. Bluetooth capability and power-folding third row seats were also added as options. Side and curtain air bags were changed to standard for all models. The optional rear seat audio system has been discontinued. For 2007, new wheel designs, as well as a new standard 3.5 liter V6 putting out 266 hp became available. Full list of changes are available at SiennaClub.org[1].

• If the gas filler door is open, the sliding door on that side will not open all the way. This feature prevents the slider from hitting the gas door.
• If the window on a sliding door is open, the door is prevented from opening fully. This prevents a possible pinch situation if an occupant has an arm out the window, etc.

• All trim levels and package options are capable of daytime running lamps (DRL). With the installation of an ordinary USD $0.25 fuse, vehicles can enable the DRL feature.
• The rear wiper will not pull out and remain out the way unless you remove the plastic cap covering the drive end of the pivot arm. A long running standard feature of Japanese vehicles, it allowed for easy washing and drying of the window. However, the feature is present on the front wipers where no poking hazard exists.
• The Navigation display doubles as an entertainment display, if the parking brake is engaged and the vehicle is not in motion. It can view the same video programs as the rear entertainment display.

The Sienna will be redesigned for the 2010 model year. There have also been rumors of a Hybrid Synergy Drive version.
