  • For 2024, the Toyota Sienna adds an XSE Premium package

    After introduction of the fourth generation, exclusively hybrid Sienna in 2021, one of the most fuel-efficient 7-8 passenger minivans on the market, Toyota upped the van’s outdoors activity capability in 2022, with the Sienna Woodland Edition. In addition to the Woodland Edition, the 2024 Sienna is offered in LE, XLE, sporty XSE, luxurious Limited and ultra-plush Platinum trims. Altogether, it’s a lineup that’s as diverse as it is functional, with good looking swagger to boot.

    The Hybrid-exclusive strategy has been a winner for Sienna, capturing 32% of the segment in 2022. The latest-generation Sienna also offers the choice of front-wheel drive (FWD) or Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (e-AWD) that employs a separate rear electric motor to efficiently power the rear wheels. As a result, the Sienna delivers exceptional fuel economy with an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 36 MPG and 35 MPG in the FWD and AWD models, respectively.

    Premium package

    For 2024, the Toyota Sienna adds an XSE Premium package that includes leather seats with 8-way power adjustablity and memory function for the driver, orange accent stitching in the cabin, tilt telescoping steering column with memory function, 7-inch Multi-Information Display, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated side view mirrors with Blind Spot Monitor, auto reverse tilt, and puddle lamps. The LE and XLE grades receive darkened chrome accented headlights and the wheels on the XSE AWD and Woodland grade take on a darker finish too.

    Different options

    With Toyota Sienna customers can choose from 12 different options across the various trims and two drivetrain options. Colors also abound inside and out, with a spectrum of paint colors, like Sunset Bronze Mica on the LE and XLE grade, and variety of seating options like Gray Flannel with Black Embossed Softex® trim on the Woodland Edition and XSE. The 2024 Toyota Sienna is expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships this October, with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $37,185 (LE grade in FWD).

    Designed specifically to accommodate the rising popularity of outdoor activities among buyers, the Sienna Woodland Edition offers cargo and passenger space comparable to a large SUV. The Woodland Edition – and any 2024 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 2024 Toyota Sienna combines a standard hybrid powertrain with AWD, which is available as an option on all model grades.

    2024 Sienna Woodland Edition features

    The 2024 Sienna Woodland Edition, available in exclusive Cement or Midnight Black Metallic exterior colors, offers distinctive exterior and premium interior styling, and Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive standard plus added ground clearance to take-on dirt roads with confidence.  Additional features include:

    • 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-inch alloy wheels
    • Dark chrome-colored accents
    • Black badging
    • Navigation with JBL® 1200W Audio System with 12 speakers

    The 2024 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.)

  • First “Tri-gen” production system is complete in 2023

    FuelCell Energy and Toyota Motor North America announced the completion of the first-of-its-kind “Tri-gen system” at Toyota’s Port of Long Beach operations. The Tri-gen system, owned and operated by FuelCell Energy, produces renewable electricity, renewable hydrogen, and water from directed biogas. FuelCell Energy has contracted with Toyota to supply the products of Tri-gen under a 20-year purchase agreement.

    Tri-gen is an example of FuelCell Energy’s ability to scale hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology, an increasingly important energy solution in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. Tri-gen will enable Toyota Logistic Services (TLS) Long Beach to be the company’s first port vehicle processing facility in the world powered by onsite-generated, 100% renewable energy and represents the types of innovative and bold investments the company is making as part of its environmental sustainability strategy.

    Tri-gen produces 2.3-megawatts of renewable electricity, part of which will be off-taken by TLS Long Beach to support its operations at the port, which processes approximately 200,000 new Toyota and Lexus vehicles annually.

    The FuelCell Energy Tri-gen system can produce up to 1,200 kg/day of hydrogen which will provide for TLS Long Beach’s fueling needs for its incoming light-duty fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) Mirai, while also supplying hydrogen to the nearby heavy-duty hydrogen refueling station to support TLS logistics and drayage operations at the port. Hydrogen production can be ramped up and down based on needs/requirements.

    1,400 gallons of water will be co-produced per day from Tri-gen’s hydrogen production process and will be used by TLS Long Beach for car wash operations for vehicles that come into port prior to customer delivery. This will help decrease the use of constrained local water supplies by approximately half a million gallons per year.

    By supporting TLS operations at the Port of Long Beach, Tri-gen’s carbon-neutral products are expected to reduce more than 9,000 tons of CO2 emission from the power grid each year.

    Tri-gen will also help to avoid more than six tons of grid NOx emissions and has the potential to reduce diesel consumption by more than 420,000 gallons per year by using hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks in port operations.

    Electricity not used by TLS will be delivered to the local utility, Southern California Edison, under the California Bioenergy Market Adjustment Tariff (BioMAT) program, adding a renewable, resilient, and affordable baseload electric generation resource to the electric grid.
