Overview
Among the most popular minivans on the market, the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna offer up to 8-passenger seating and accessible base-model pricing (though higher trim levels can tickle $50K). While a new Sienna does cost a couple of thousand dollars more than a new Odyssey, the Toyota’s standard 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain offers much better fuel economy than the Honda’s more powerful standard V6. The Sienna is also available with all-wheel drive — something the Odyssey doesn’t offer. Still, the Odyssey delivers more engaging driving dynamics than the Sienna. Both vans offer strong resale values due to their reliability and overall pedigree. Passenger space for the two vans is about equal, but the Odyssey holds a considerable advantage in its cargo-carrying capacity. Though both infotainment systems are user-friendly, the Odyssey’s screen is much smaller than the Sienna’s. The Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna receive top safety ratings and feature a wide array of standard and available advanced driving assistance systems.
