The minivan has become a family staple. However, recent models prove they can be just as stylish, innovative, and powerful as an SUV, giving you a chance to up your game on the San Antonio, Schertz, and Alamo Heights, Texas, roads. Two that prove this are the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica.
How do you know which one will make you and your family the happiest? The team at Northside Honda is here to help with our 2020 Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica review. In this comparison, you’ll learn about the similarities of these models as well as the differences, so you can make a decision you feel confident about.
Under the hood of these minivans, you’ll find a lot of similarities. Each boasts a V6 engine that offers a respectable fuel economy as well as 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
To keep up with your family’s busy schedule but still deliver a fun drive, the Honda Odyssey is outfitted with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This comes equipped with Shift-by-Wire technology as well as paddle shifters to give you a sportier performance.
On the other hand, the Pacifica only comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Unfortunately, it doesn’t produce as athletic of a performance when compared to the Odyssey.
To perfectly accommodate your family, the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica offer plenty of space inside. Both can seat up to eight passengers thanks to their accommodating and configurable seating, which can be adjusted to your needs.
In the Odyssey, you’ll also find some magic. In the second row, Magic Slide® seating is available. This seating keeps all passengers comfortable and easily slides forward and backward. Plus, it has a walk-in feature for easy entry of all ages.
As for the third row in the Odyssey, you’ll find the One-Motion 60/40 split Magic Seat®. This seat allows you to easily extend the cargo space as well as provide seamless coziness for those in the rear.
The Pacifica also has innovative seats that can be configured in different ways; however, they prove to be a little less advanced with limited sliding and no walk-in feature.
The cargo space in the Pacifica is also a tad smaller than the one found in the Honda Odyssey.

There’s no denying that both of these models are incredibly innovative, offering features the whole family will love. Some include:
However, the Honda takes it up a notch with CabinTalk® and CabinWatch®. CabinTalk® is an in-car PA system that allows you to easily speak to those in the back—no more shouting over music or talking! CabinWatch® gives you a live feed of the rear rows, so you can keep an eye on what the kiddos are doing. Plus, it even works in the dark!
Both models are sure to elevate your drives. However, its athletic performance, ample space, and family-oriented features make the Honda Odyssey worth a test drive. To do so, drivers in the San Antonio, Schertz, and Alamo Heights, TX, areas can schedule a test drive today!
