Thank you so very much for being straightforward and efficient with your video. I've been looking at the odyssey for a few weeks now, and there are many videos that run for 40-50 friggin minutes just to show the basics of an automobile. You not only got me in and out in less than 15 minutes, but you also compared 2 others in the same allotted time. I love efficient people.
Just purchased another Honda Odyssey. My first one has 300k and is STILL running strong (its just looking haggard lol). No engine or transmission problems. I really feel like Hondas are great cars.
Basing fuel economy off a once in a blue moon road trip just isn't accurate. My 14 Escape with AWD and the 1.6 EcoBoost is rated at 22/29 and while I've seen 31 on a road trip, I'm seeing the lower number 99% of the time. High, and more importantly, consistent fuel economy that a hybrid offers seems so appealing.
Probably best bet is the Honda all around. Real world MPG is decent but reliable and Proven in Honda. Cheaper cost plus better space usage, better driving and Faster driving, simple proven 6 cylinder instead of contantly recalled turbos like Toyota. 2nd row bench seat much better Honda. And again its CHEAPER and dont have to worry about replacing expensive battery in the future. 🤔(Although I like some features in the Toyota plus mpg.)
We went with the odyssey for that bench, it can do everything, and my wife and the two rear facing seats all seat comfortably on it! Plus you can use the center seat as a park chair along with the tail gate mode
I just bought the 2024 Toyota Sienna xse and it’s been an amazing vehicle. I looked at the odyssey but after doing research notice theirs been several transmission recalls which made me hesitant in purchasing an odyssey. So decided the Toyota, they’ve definitely surpassed Honda in regards reliability these past few yrs.
Chrysler pacifica hybrid have 2021 a absolutely love it. I go anywhere between 750 and as much as 1000 miles between fillups. No other vehicle can come close to that. I do a lot of local driving so I'm able to plug it in usually 3 times a week overnight. If you don't have access to electrical outlet in your garage or do alot of long distance drives you of course would not get as good gas mileage. But even without great gas mileage very smooth quiet running vehicle with plenty of room and I think best looking of 3 vans...
I always detested soccer mom minivans, but currently driving Inherited Chrysler Pacifica and compared to my Ford transit Connect feels like total luxury. I absolutely love the stow and go seats.
@@jaysworld707 the stow and go seats are also in Ford transit connects, but who has garage space to take out or the energy to put back in every time one wants seats.
Absolutely fantastic video. The woman on camera was great and really transferred her message fantastically. I'm looking for a minivan. Tested the Chrysler, but quality is an BIG issue. Honda: Great by MPG and tech is bad. Toyota: Tech is outdated, but very reliable. Kia Carnival looks like the winner to me. Especially with the new hybrid coming out.
If Chrysler didn’t have poor reliability, I’d choose it with its stow n’ go seats and handsome exterior styling. I’m worried the Pacifica will be discontinued due to it being the sole offering in the Chrysler lineup as Stellantis is looking to cut non profitable brands. Perhaps the Dodge Grand Caravan will make a comeback if Dodge sticks around or if Ram or Jeep will offer a minivan. I hope Toyota listens to customers and makes the second row seats removable again as they ditched side airbags in the backseat of the new 2025 Camry. They can also offer the hybrid max powertrain for those who want more power in the Sienna. The Odyssey is getting a refresh for 2025 but it’s actually underwhelming considering no new powertrain offerings to make it more efficient and not even offering the new V6 from the Pilot. The infotainment “upgrade” from 8” to 9” and wireless projection is lame considering the Accord has a 12.3” screen. Honda is being lazy and didn’t redesign the interior to accommodate the larger screen.
Well, every van has their issues. Buy depending on which of it fits better for u and your family otherwise get SUV or sedan. Even that, each one has its own flaws.
you must absolutely add to the odyssey: awd. pano-roof. 360-cam. timing chain. (no timing belt get rid of it. but non-turbo. turbo v4 is not good option. v6 naturally aspirated plus plugin with extra large battery) slow-traffic follow feature. built-in vacuum cleaner must be returned to the car. light-off-roading pack option. (with high clearance and some other light-off-roading features) also needed a additional extra front and other lights females have trouble to see at night (in comparison to men this is biology thing) and vans are driven by many females.
Chrysler Pacifica is the best minivan to get now! Offers 4wd, powerful big V6 engine with plenty of muscle if you go with the gasoline, traditional transmission setup with the S Package added to the Touring L like my Dad got! Ours is fully loaded even has a built in vacuum cleaner which is something great to have on hand for quick detailing! Our second pick would have been the Kia Carnival but the Chrysler is best far as looks and performance, it's like driving a Sportscar instead of what it is being a minivan.
Sorry my v6 Sienna has killer speed and great reliability. I also have 300,000 and no transmission or motor issues. Though I do all regular maintenance and oil changes 5-6,000 miles.
Given Sienna’s All Wheel Drive, our average 37MPG, Heads Up Display, Digital Rear View Mirror and vastly superior J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study ranking, it’s a no brainer.
It will take you 8 years to make up for the higher base price of the Sienna and the dealer markups most dealers are still charging. No thanks, I'd rather have a much more powerful V6 with 10-speed transmission than an overpriced economy car. The comparable Sienna to the Odyssey sport is about $12k more expensive where I live so it's just not a good option for me.
Sienna average price at least $10k more than odyssey. Unless you go for LE or XLE. I would say big NO to Sienna $10k is enough to offset 10years gas cost and potential battery replacement cost is nightmare.
From what I remember reading on forums, I gather that nation-wide the price difference is more like $6K - but still, the Odyssey is much cheaper than the Sienna. An interesting question to ask perhaps is, "Why is the Odyssey cheaper"? With the average price of a new vehicle being $48K these days .... And the most important money question is the total cost of ownership rather than the sale price. Gas savings are one thing, and also there are maintenance and repairs costs, and the resale value. One last thing: Ni-MH battery replacement costs in Toyota hybrids are not a nightmare; first, these batteries are much smaller, second, they typically last for 250K miles without much deterioration, and the warranty covers them for 150K miles/10 years (unlike the lithium batteries in EV's). Third, they cost a fraction of what the lithium batteries do.
@@DimitrijDanielGreat point regarding the importance of ownership cost and resale value. Thank you for helping me think differently now. God bless you in Jesus name
Nothing on the three things I value most: ride quality, sound level, and reliability. From our rentals, we found the Pacifica to be the most comfortable and quietist, but would not trust it for reliability (nearly every one we've rented has had problems). The Odyssey is a reliable car if you follow Honda's frequent maintenance rotation, and is the most fun to drive but the least comfortable and tied for nosiest. The Toyota will last forever and will need minimal work done, is boring to drive but comfortable, with average road noise. So: Pacifica is the best to rent, the Odyssey the best to borrow, and the Toyota the best to own.
Love our 2024 Pacific gas. I get 30 MPG on road trip. Can't beat the styling and stow and go seating! It our 5th Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth vans since 1985. Had a few for 10 and 14 years! Honda and Toyota are not good looking and are way over priced and their seating is clunky.. And I've had many Honda and Toyota sedans since 1970.
@@80sBornWorrior I guess that's why Kia is the top reviewed champion with the Telluride. Doesn't matter, you have to include all the minivans when you're CarMax, even to say it's bad. At least mention it in the review.
My 2005 sienna still drives almost as smooth as the day I brought it. I just completed a 13 day 13 state 6k miles cross country trip in a 19 Year old 167k mile minivan. Also my 2005 sienna is still quieter than my friend’s 2023 odyssey. So the choice is clear for me.
I still have PTSD from sending 2 Grand Caravans back to Chrysler under 2 states' Lemon Laws in the early/mid-90s so the Chrysler is out. The AWD from the Toyota is enticing but the inability to remove the 2nd row seats is a deal breaker. I am getting rid of a Honda Ridgeline and looking to get a minivan. The ability to load 4X8 sheet goods flat is a big thing. I have almost new winter tires on wheels that fit the Ridgeline so FWD is fine for all but the worst days in Vermont and New Hampshire where I live. Honda it is. For those mentioning the Kia...I also have PTSD from owning a Hyundai (if you don't think they're the same cars, you're uninformed) that was great for 3 years and then nothing but problems until we got rid of it - 3 sets of pads and rotors, 3 sets of struts in under 75K miles. They use crap materials.
To remove 2nd row seats see UA-cam video by Brad Ling - Removing 2021 Sienna’s “Non-Removable” seats and Resolve Airbag Error After Removing Sienna’s Seats.
I'd get the Odyssey. But that's just me. That V6 is rock solid. Pacifica is a compelling package but it has reliability issues, serious ones. Toyota might be a generation ahead of the market with that Sienna.
After owning a newer Honda, their audio tech is busch league compared to others. Honda's A/C cost me 2K after 40K miles. The Non Hybrid Pacifica would have been a better head to head.
Good review only mini van i had was a dodge caravan 3.6 liter V6 engine & poor transmission the killed in Action carnival good to seeit excluded more suv than minivan
In this test, there were only two options. The Chrysler comes with Chrysler build "quality" and Chrysler "durability." Meaning, it is not worth considering, regardless of features.
I have a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country with well over 200k. It's needed minimal work over the years. I've also driven a new Pacifica eHybrid and that thing is awesome.
@newlintodd while I am very happy that you've had good luck with it, you are an anomaly. For most of these vehicles, it would be on its fourth transmission by now and possibly its second or third engine. That is of course assuming someone decided to keep it on the road for 200,000 me as these failures continued to occur. I've known way too many people who were burned by Chrysler products, people who take good care of their cars by the way. I don't have any trust in the quality or reliability of their products.
I had odyssey 2023 got totaled which used to give 16-20 mileage in the city, hated and TERRIBLE. Then I got Sienna as replacement, wow I never have to worry about gas, a good replacement.
What year is it, and how long have you had it? I'm currently in the market for a vehicle and trying to decide if I want a mini van or a 3 row suv, like a Palisade or Traverse or something similar.
The Odysey's tank is also 1.5 gal larger than the Sienna. People are so obsessed with range and don't care about how much gas and/or electricity is takes to get that far lol.
Best for Family Features: Honda Odyssey - It excels with its versatile interior and family-friendly features. Best for Fuel Efficiency and AWD: Toyota Sienna - The hybrid powertrain and standard all-wheel drive make it a strong choice for fuel-conscious and climate-conscious buyers. Best for Innovative Features and Cargo Space: Chrysler Pacifica - It stands out with unique features like the Stow 'n Go seating and a plug-in hybrid option.
Honda has kept me happy for 5 years. But I wish it could get 35 mpg and have reclining seats for those long vacation drives twice a year. It doesn't need all that engine power it presently has. Less power, more mpg, please.
The reclining seats are not to be used while driving. If you get in an accident, let’s just say it won’t go well. I believe the manual says something about that
I'm surprised they didn't wait to make this video until they could get their hands on a 2025 Odyssey, which sees a number of upgrades in its refresh, including the infotainment screen and number of USB ports in the vehicle. And why is the Carnival not part of this comparison? Don't give me any of that, "It's an MPV, not a minivan" nonsense.
Toyota, coz it's most reliable and hassle-free option. I also love hybrids. And for me hybrid = toyota. Ofc, if you need more powerful engine, sienna is not for you. I don't need
These three vans are dinosaurs. They need to leave the minivan market completely the 2025 Kia carnival absolutely blows all three of these vans completely out of the water.
Get the sienna with 3.5 v6 awd not the hybrid if you are keeping the Van for a long time….hybrid batteries doesnt last very long and very expensive to replace……
@@andyk4972 True. Not any more. Up until 2020 they had V6 option. If you can find a well-maintained used Sienna with V6, it’s worth a look. We just bought a 2012 Sienna Limited, V6 & AWD. 120 K miles, so reasonable price, especially as dealer installed a new set of tires, changed fluids, filters and rear brakes. 3 K miles in, so far, so good. 2GR-FE is a peppy engine, and it's proving to be a great grocery getter, DD and road trip vehicle.
Welp, this video was a waste for me. I was hoping to see the Chrysler Pacifica's Stow and Go seats, THAT model of the Pacifica compared to the other two.
I have a 2022 toyota sienna xle and my family loves it and here soon iam getting a 2025 toyota sienna sxe awd I have had a pacific and wont own one again crappie gas mileage and seats are very uncomfortable Iam a toyota sienna fan all the way
Sienna isn't really for sale in 2024, Pacifica has a nicer interior & better fuel economy than the Odyssey + has USB-C. I know 2 people with Odysseys that needed serious work at the 5-7 year mark, reliability isn't a big winner for Honda these days.
Sienna is the best reliability wise. Odyssey is the most practical. Pacifica has the best electronics. Shame the pacifica might not even make it to 100k miles. Wish the Sienna wasnt hybird so it could last 300k miles. Odysseys will last between 150k and 200k miles. Its the Transmissions and AC Systems that fail on em. Honda doesnt make their own AC systems.
The Sienna could very well last 300k miles. Hybrids are Toyota’s bread and butter at this point. Will it get to 300k as worry free as the old V6? No, but I would still trust it better than Honda since they choose to have VCM.
Which three-row family cars should be on your radar? Read our full article here: www.carmax.com/articles/honda-odyssey-competitors

They need to steal the improvements of all the minivans to make the best family hauler ever.

Sienna for sure
If Subaru made a minivan it would trump all. Can’t imagine the price but it would sell tremendously to all of us subie fans.
❤ Honda the Power of Dreams ❤
How do you compare the lane keep feature among these three?
the problem with hybrids is on top of regular maintenence, you have to do for battery. my 2019 odyseey is missing a ton of quriks. well done honda
There’s not really extra “maintenance” for a hybrid until it gets 10-20 years old. Then you’ll have to start thinking about the battery life.
AWD and hybrid won the sienna for us. Plus it's Toyota so I can keep it for 20 years
Longer after you replace the hybrid battery
❤ Honda is the No. 1 ❤
Honda has kept me happy for 5 years. But I wish it could get 35 mpg and have reclining seats for those long vacation drives twice a year. It doesn't need all that engine power it presently has. Less power, more mpg, please.
The reclining seats are not to be used while driving. If you get in an accident, let’s just say it won’t go well. I believe the manual says something about that
This video is one big argument for the Kia Carnival
I'm surprised they didn't wait to make this video until they could get their hands on a 2025 Odyssey, which sees a number of upgrades in its refresh, including the infotainment screen and number of USB ports in the vehicle.
And why is the Carnival not part of this comparison? Don't give me any of that, "It's an MPV, not a minivan" nonsense.
Odyssey is the only one to buy
Usually odyssey get more recall that sienna! But more expensive 😅
Gas prices are insane so despite all the features, I will still choose the most efficient one.
With 22 mpg in the Honda I will keep my old Minivan . 200 miles extra range between Sienna and Odyssey is not worth the Honda's fancy seat gymnastics.
I'll take the Pontiac Transport, the one in the middle.
Toyota, coz it's most reliable and hassle-free option. I also love hybrids. And for me hybrid = toyota.
Ofc, if you need more powerful engine, sienna is not for you. I don't need
Pacifica for better looking and feel good from inside.. Its sad they aren't as reliable as Honda/Toyota 😢
Sienna
This is a fail. Where is the Kia Carnival. Only 4 minivans in this category, and you have 3.
En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.
These three vans are dinosaurs. They need to leave the minivan market completely the 2025 Kia carnival absolutely blows all three of these vans completely out of the water.
Guaranteed the Odyssey is faster lmao 😂 🤷🏽
Kia’s aren’t reliable.
Kia makes great designed products. The biggest negative is reliability!
Not in terms of reliability.
@@AlexanderY18Consumer Reports begs to differ
Get the sienna with 3.5 v6 awd not the hybrid if you are keeping the Van for a long time….hybrid batteries doesnt last very long and very expensive to replace……
Refurbished batteries are 1500, brand new batteries are 4500. Not that bad.
Sienna’s are hybrid only since 2021. No more V6 in Toyota Sienna since ‘21 or Highlander since ‘23.
@@robertguynn7289 i know… you can still buy v6 sienna 2nd hand…
2010 Prius driver here. 244,000 miles on the original battery. Nuff said
Pacifica has non hybrid all wheel drive with stow and go sests
Honda hands down. CVTs are terrible
Sienna with the V6 and AWD.
Sienna doesn’t have a V6 option
@@andyk4972 True. Not any more. Up until 2020 they had V6 option. If you can find a well-maintained used Sienna with V6, it’s worth a look. We just bought a 2012 Sienna Limited, V6 & AWD. 120 K miles, so reasonable price, especially as dealer installed a new set of tires, changed fluids, filters and rear brakes. 3 K miles in, so far, so good. 2GR-FE is a peppy engine, and it's proving to be a great grocery getter, DD and road trip vehicle.
I just watched The car mom review recently and this video is remarkably similar to everything she said 😬
Welp, this video was a waste for me. I was hoping to see the Chrysler Pacifica's Stow and Go seats, THAT model of the Pacifica compared to the other two.
I have a 2022 toyota sienna xle and my family loves it and here soon iam getting a 2025 toyota sienna sxe awd I have had a pacific and wont own one again crappie gas mileage and seats are very uncomfortable
Iam a toyota sienna fan all the way
❤ Honda how we move you ❤

Best minivan in Indonesia is Toyota AVANZA Rear Wheel Drive
Sienna isn't really for sale in 2024, Pacifica has a nicer interior & better fuel economy than the Odyssey + has USB-C. I know 2 people with Odysseys that needed serious work at the 5-7 year mark, reliability isn't a big winner for Honda these days.
Sienna is the best reliability wise. Odyssey is the most practical. Pacifica has the best electronics. Shame the pacifica might not even make it to 100k miles. Wish the Sienna wasnt hybird so it could last 300k miles. Odysseys will last between 150k and 200k miles. Its the Transmissions and AC Systems that fail on em. Honda doesnt make their own AC systems.
The Sienna could very well last 300k miles. Hybrids are Toyota’s bread and butter at this point. Will it get to 300k as worry free as the old V6? No, but I would still trust it better than Honda since they choose to have VCM.
Is the Kia Carnival chopped liver?
Odyssey has already been updated HAHA 2 day ago
Carnival. Carmax does not advertise it because the don’t have it
But they need to make option for AWD and Hybrid.
China has the best Minivans. Imagine if the 100k Buick Century was sold here.
