Minivan Comparison: Honda Odyssey Vs. Chrysler Pacifica

See How Honda's New Minivan Compares to the Competition

If you're shopping for a new family vehicle around Metairie, LA, and you've narrowed down your options to a minivan, then you'll likely have the new Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica on your radar. Not only are these two fine minivans, but they're also some of the most popular options in this segment.

Both Honda's new Odyssey minivan and the Chrysler Pacifica provide families with a spacious three-row cabin that accommodates up to eight occupants in complete comfort. For the 2021 model year, they both come standard with an advanced safety suite designed to help protect your most precious cargo.

These popular minivans do many things well, and similarly, but there are still plenty of areas where they differ. To help you decide which minivan is ideal for your New Orleans area family, the team at Premier Honda has compiled a comparison of the 2021 Honda Odyssey and the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica.

Once you have reviewed this detailed online comparison, we encourage you to do your own research into these minivans. We're confident that in the end, you'll prefer Honda's Odyssey, just like us. If you have any questions about the 2021 Odyssey lineup of standard or available features, don't hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable sales associates.

Where Odyssey Tops Pacifica

While you may think that you can't go wrong with either model, there is one of these minivans that leads the way in key areas, and that's the 2021 Honda Odyssey. The new Odyssey boasts innovative Honda features, a roomy interior, versatile cargo hold and an impressive list of standard amenities that make it a tough act to follow.

Chrysler has been building minivans for many decades, and its latest iteration, the 2021 Pacifica, is a fine automobile in its own right. While Chrysler pioneered some minivan features in the past like its Stow 'n Go® Seating and Storage System, Honda has continued to innovate as well, and it shows with the smart new Odyssey.

Both of these minivans offer space-saving folding seats, but the Honda Odyssey tops its competitor by a wide margin in maximum cargo capacity. Fold down the second and third rows of seats in these two family haulers and you'll find that the Odyssey accommodates up to 158 cubic feet of cargo, while the Pacifica can only handle up to 140.5 cubic feet. That's a wide margin, especially when you need all the space you can get to haul your family's gear or home improvement supplies!

A few of the brilliant Odyssey features you won't find available in a Chrysler Pacifica include Honda's Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock®, Magic Slide® 2nd-Row Seats and CabinTalk®. These amenities add convenience and security to your drive.

The Magic Slide® seats let you adjust the second-row configuration on-the-fly. The CabinTalk® feature acts as an in-cabin intercom, letting the driver address passengers via the second- or third-row speakers or available rear entertainment system's wireless headsets.

How about pricing? The 2021 Honda Odyssey starts at a highly competitive MSRP of $31,790*. Pricing for the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica hasn't been released at this time, but if the 2020 model pricing is any indication, it will cost more than the Honda. Chrysler's 2020 Pacifica started at $34,045, or thousands of dollars more than the Odyssey. Expect a steep starting MSRP when Chrysler releases 2021 Pacifica pricing soon.
