My neighbor has a 2019 which is the same gen. He talked me into getting a Sienna instead. Two major issues, one, his transmission died at 87k miles. Second, he absolutely hates the ac vents on the pillar rather than the ceiling. Often found his kids sweating at the end of a trip.
Best interior layout for sure but you can't argue with the Toyota mpg advantage. I get 38.5 in my Sienna in my normal mostly non-highway driving and was at half that with that Honda V6. 600 miles+ on every tank is game changing. Honda needs a hybrid and they need it now.
Just purchased a 25 EXL and love the fact that it's loaded. We saw no reason to buy a higher trim as they really added little value for the price increase. Unless you really need the rear seat entertainment system and the van to be it's own hotspot there's little reason to spend the extra money
No way this overtakes the Sienna as the best minivan. But if Toyota stay ahead for when Honda gets a hybrid, Toyota needs to update the Sienna to a Prime version with safety sense 3.0.
Does Honda make the best minivan? If not, what IS the best minivan? Thanks, Jeff
AWD Sienna rules!!!!!!!
@@rightlanehog3151 true. too bad gotta wait like a year to get one.
Odyssey. I've tried them all
Yes this is the best overall with the optimized mechanical and space packaging with the best drivetrain for a minivan.

Best car review video ever. This guy needs his own show
Leather seats in an entry level mini-van is impressive and rear sun shades too!!
Sunroof, too. It's not cheap, but it's a good value. I've chosen this for a friend to buy.

I'll take the V-6 over a 4 banger any day!
How come the ac vents are not on the ceiling anymore?

Great review. One thing you didn’t mention and I don’t see being mentioned by others is the non glare screen which is a great update.
Is the white color a pure white or more of an off-white?
I really love the new model as I do have a Toyota sienna from 2024 and I think they didn’t change much but it is perfect!
I would actually take the KIA Carnival when I need a minivan.
Now, if you wanted to have a much better resell value which is what the Honda offers after five years.
You got the magic seats 😂
Great review!
D to the I to the A to the M, O to the N to the D to the pearls of love.
Love it!!
If this van come with hybrid powertrain like the international version. I believe will beat off sienna all the way.
I wish Honda had AWD option like Toyota.

Toyota is way over priced! Top trim level on Honda beats Toyota top trim level by 10K.
Great video ❤ thanks
Leather in entry level is nice but they really didn’t change anything ..
Transmission problems
Sorry, but until Honda offer a hybrid model I ain't interested.
Have you driven a hybrid van up a mountain road? Fully loaded?
