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.
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.
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
Had that first brand new off the assembly line 1994 Honda Odyssey LX until 2016, when tornadic winds busted out all my windows from the black top gravel at the high school I taught. It only had 298,000 miles on it and still started on first turn. I couldn't replace the windows and had to give it up. I guarantee I would still be driving it today, had it been reasonable to replace the windows. No doubt it was the best and most reliable transportation I ever owned.
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.
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 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...
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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……
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.
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
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.
Honda as a brand is disappointing lately. Their only EV is ... a GM. Odyssey is ancient with an ancient drivetrain. Toyota are the epitome of "appliance-on-wheels", but at least they have hybrid and AWD options. We just rented the Chrysler for a 2500 mile road trip and while the stow 'n go seating is neat, the transmission is simply awful and the headlights suck. All that said, where's the Kia?
I really don't understand why Toyota made the 2nd row seat on the sienna not removable. It's a very stupid design because if you need a lot of space, removing the seats give you full use of all that big space.
It's pretty much a deal breaker for me. Bad design to say the least. I'm not too disappointed as there is still a dealer mark-up in my area and that makes it even more expensive than the cheaper Odyssey.
LOL the carnival reigns supreme when it comes to tech and, well, basically everything minus the magic slide seats; those are sweet. Carnival > all. And before you say "weLL iT's A kiA", shut up lol their reliability has shot up in recent years and their V6 powertrain is great. Plus, 10 year / 100k warranty. Best in the business and peace of mind.
My experience with owning their cars was nothing short of infuriating. Left me stranded so many times I sold it back just to not have to deal with it because they just couldn't find the problem despite me pointing out that there were 100's of RUclips videos showing how to fix the problem. And they wouldn't sell me the parts to fix it myself so with the random won't start for 3 days and no right to repair. They and Hyundai are out. Never again. I have rented Kia Minivans and for a rental I would be okay with it again but I they are about 4th out of 5 or 6 options in my book. The Nissan is the only minivan I have rented/driven that was worse. And the Nissan Pathfinder is great, better than their Minivan. That 10 year warranty doesn't do you any good when they can't figure out how to fix it (issue above) or when the parts are 6 months(might have been longer in the end) out like one of the don't park in the garage recalls I had. 6 months of not wanting to park the car anywhere near the house because it could spontaneously combust. Not to mention how they handled the Tik Tok theft issue. Your insurance rates are going to be higher because Kia/Hyundai can't be bothered to put engine immobilizers in their vehicles. I could go on, and on but I am bored.
@@MrNightraider Couldn't disagree more. The Carnival platform specifically is fine. Oh, but the Odyssey is having transmission issues! Won't hear about that though!
Which three-row family cars should be on your radar? Read our full article here: www.carmax.com/articles/honda-odyssey-competitors

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.
Where is the Carnival?
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.
And honestly, who can go a full tank of gas without stopping for a bio-break?

Combining elegance and luxury kislux
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.
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
But they need to make option for AWD and Hybrid.
Sadly odessy doesn't come with a hybrid model
who is the lady in this video
How come you folks left out the Kia Carnival?
They probably didn't send them one or pay to be included. Carnival FTW! Love mine.
Pacifica blows it away !@@colear3
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.
China has the best Minivans. Imagine if the 100k Buick Century was sold here.
? US Federal Tax Credit ?, How much$ ?
I am Ok any of three if I get it. No mOneY No VannY
I’ll
You forgot about the best one - KIA Carnival - which is comming also as a hybrid.
Honda as a brand is disappointing lately. Their only EV is ... a GM. Odyssey is ancient with an ancient drivetrain. Toyota are the epitome of "appliance-on-wheels", but at least they have hybrid and AWD options. We just rented the Chrysler for a 2500 mile road trip and while the stow 'n go seating is neat, the transmission is simply awful and the headlights suck.
All that said, where's the Kia?
No Kia caravan
I really don't understand why Toyota made the 2nd row seat on the sienna not removable. It's a very stupid design because if you need a lot of space, removing the seats give you full use of all that big space.
It's pretty much a deal breaker for me. Bad design to say the least. I'm not too disappointed as there is still a dealer mark-up in my area and that makes it even more expensive than the cheaper Odyssey.
CuZ there are ssooooo many minivan choices...lol
Car max advertisements make me fart
you look greate in those skinny jeans
The Pacifica’s reliability is trash so Toyota sienna and Honda odyssey is best.
LOL the carnival reigns supreme when it comes to tech and, well, basically everything minus the magic slide seats; those are sweet. Carnival > all. And before you say "weLL iT's A kiA", shut up lol their reliability has shot up in recent years and their V6 powertrain is great. Plus, 10 year / 100k warranty. Best in the business and peace of mind.
My experience with owning their cars was nothing short of infuriating. Left me stranded so many times I sold it back just to not have to deal with it because they just couldn't find the problem despite me pointing out that there were 100's of RUclips videos showing how to fix the problem. And they wouldn't sell me the parts to fix it myself so with the random won't start for 3 days and no right to repair. They and Hyundai are out. Never again. I have rented Kia Minivans and for a rental I would be okay with it again but I they are about 4th out of 5 or 6 options in my book. The Nissan is the only minivan I have rented/driven that was worse. And the Nissan Pathfinder is great, better than their Minivan.
That 10 year warranty doesn't do you any good when they can't figure out how to fix it (issue above) or when the parts are 6 months(might have been longer in the end) out like one of the don't park in the garage recalls I had. 6 months of not wanting to park the car anywhere near the house because it could spontaneously combust. Not to mention how they handled the Tik Tok theft issue. Your insurance rates are going to be higher because Kia/Hyundai can't be bothered to put engine immobilizers in their vehicles. I could go on, and on but I am bored.
Kia/Hyundai have major reliability issues! I love their designs though!
@@MrNightraider Couldn't disagree more. The Carnival platform specifically is fine. Oh, but the Odyssey is having transmission issues! Won't hear about that though!
