Minivan Comparison: Honda Odyssey Vs. Toyota Sienna

Comparing Honda's Minivan to the Competition

Metairie, LA, area families searching for a spacious and safety-focused new vehicle can count on modern minivans to deliver. Two of the top options in the minivan segment include the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. These two minivans have been facing off for years by offering similar characteristics and pricing. But what about the new editions of these family haulers? Let's find out!

The 2021 Honda Odyssey has debuted, but at this time, only the 2020 edition of the Toyota Sienna is available, so we'll compare these two. While it's certain that Honda and Toyota design and engineer their minivans with the other's in mind, there are plenty of ways that these two models differ.

Premier Honda of New Orleans, LA, invites motorists to shop and compare the new Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. We hope that this comparison we've compiled will help you find the right minivan for your family. Our sales team is here to answer any questions you may have about the 2021 Odyssey lineup, and how this minivan compares to Toyota's Sienna or other minivans in its class. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information!

Why Does the Honda Odyssey Come Out On Top?

While both of these minivans provide roomy seating for up to eight occupants in three rows and standard safety suites, the 2021 Honda Odyssey offers key advantages over the 2020 Toyota Sienna. Thanks to its newly standard 10-speed automatic transmission and the efficient performance of its Honda 3.5-liter V6, the Odyssey tops the Sienna in EPA-estimated highway mpg.

If you're looking to haul a full load of cargo after visiting that home improvement store, know that the Honda Odyssey has your back with its immense, 158 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. Toyota's Sienna falls a bit short of that, providing up to just 150 cubic feet.

When it comes to innovative amenities, it's tough to top the Odyssey. That's because this minivan is available with an array of smart Honda features and class-exclusive technologies. In fact, there are so many features offered on the Odyssey that you can't get on any Toyota Sienna that it will be hard to list them all here, but we'll try!

From its Magic Slide® 2nd-Row Seats that add flexibility to your drive to Honda's Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® that boost security and convenience, there are so many reasons to choose the 2021 Odyssey! This is the family-focused minivan that offers Honda-exclusive technologies like CabinWatch® and CabinTalk® that let you keep an eye on rear passengers via the center display screen -- and even speak to them directly through the rear speakers.

Your kids will love you even more when you select a Honda Odyssey equipped with the available Rear Entertainment System. When it's time for cabin cleanup after your family road trip or weekend adventure, rely on another feature you won't find available in Toyota's Sienna: an integrated vacuum. The HondaVAC® can extend throughout the Odyssey's interior and features a high-powered vacuum to pick up even the toughest messes.

The Toyota Sienna is a worthy competitor to Honda's Odyssey and offers a well-equipped interior at a family-friendly price. However, it falls short in this comparison due to its smaller cargo hold, lower highway mpg and lack of features and technologies of the Odyssey. Remember, there's only one of these minivans that includes a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, and that's the Honda!
