Sienna Nears 100,000 Sales With Two Months to Go

The Toyota Sienna sold 10,934 minivans in October, a 29.1% gain over the same month last year, and the hybrid-only van now stands at 95,704 sales for 2026 with November and December still to come.

Last year the Sienna did not cross the 100,000 mark until December, when it finished at 101,486 for all of 2025. This year it is 4,296 sales short with two months left, and October alone brought in more than twice that many, so the van is on course to pass six figures in November and to beat last year’s total well before the holidays.

The October figures come from CarBuzz, which tallied the month for the four minivans still sold in the United States. Toyota Motor North America now publishes model-by-model sales only once a quarter and has not released October numbers of its own, so the figures carry that caveat, but they line up with Toyota’s third-quarter sales release, which put Sienna sales through September at 84,770, up 11.7%. Adding October’s 10,934 gives the 95,704 total, and the year-to-date gain has widened from 11.7% to 13.5% in a single month.

The rest of the segment had a strong month as well. CarBuzz reported that the Honda Odyssey, which had trailed its 2025 pace in every month from February through July, jumped 32.2% to 7,202 sales in October, the biggest monthly gain of the four, although it is still 4.2% behind last year at 73,118 for the year. The Kia Carnival sold 7,751, up 17.4%, and its 69,291 year-to-date total is up 19.8%. The Chrysler Pacifica still leads the segment for the year, having passed 100,000 sales at the end of September, up 12%, and CarBuzz had not yet reported its October figure.

Minivan	October 2026	Change	Jan-Oct 2026	Change
Toyota Sienna	10,934	+29.1%	95,704	+13.5%
Honda Odyssey	7,202	+32.2%	73,118	-4.2%
Kia Carnival	7,751	+17.4%	69,291	+19.8%
Chrysler Pacifica	not reported	–	more than 100,000 through September	+12%

The sales run has come in a month that was otherwise rough for the Sienna. Toyota recalled 228,367 of the 2022-2026 Sienna Hybrids in October because their second-row seat backs can unlock in a crash, and the van missed another IIHS award this week over rear-seat protection. Neither appears to have slowed buyers down.

Every Sienna is a hybrid, with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder system rated at 245 horsepower and up to 36 mpg combined, so all of these sales also count toward Toyota’s electrified total. The 2026 model runs from $40,120 for a front-drive LE to $57,510 for an all-wheel-drive Platinum before a $1,495 destination fee, and the base LE got the most new equipment for 2026. We covered the Sienna’s first 100,000-sale year when the 2025 numbers came out.

The Toyota Report Take

The minivan was supposed to be the segment everyone had abandoned, and instead the Sienna is growing faster than almost anything else Toyota sells, with a sticker that has crept past $40,000 and a recall notice hanging over it. That tells us the limit on Sienna sales for the last few years was never demand, it was how many Toyota chose to build in Indiana. With the Odyssey finally waking up and the Carnival growing at nearly 20%, the question for 2027 is whether Toyota adds capacity to keep its lead or keeps the van scarce and the margins fat. Our guess is the second, because it has worked so far.
