A considerable amount of auto manufacturers offers their customers the option for a minivan, but none dedicate as much time and thoughtful engineering to their minivans than Chrysler and Honda do. The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica S-Limited and the 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite packages are their "top shelf" options as Chrysler offers 6 different models compared to Honda's 5, each with respective trim level options. Several similarities between these minivans can be easily identified, but there are some features that make these vehicles entirely different.

 

    The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica S-Limited is priced at $45,940 as compared to the 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite model which has an MSRP of $48,115. Both the Pacifica and Odyssey have almost identical engines. Chrysler sporting the 3.6-liter V6 which puts out 287 horsepower, while Honda provides a 3.5-liter V6 which produces approximately 280 horsepower. Another important similarity is the fuel economy that each minivan provides, as both options average 28 miler per gallon on the highway! Also, each of these minivan options have shown great results in crash testing ratings as completed by IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

 

    The Pacifica S-Limited minivan comes equipped with an extremely large and luxurious interior, and also includes "Stow 'N Go" hideaway seating. Not only the second row, but the third row also fold "flush" into the floor which is an option that Honda does not offer. Parking sensors that offer a view of 360 degrees, and a blind spot sensor warning system provide helpful insight as well! With a maximum of 141 cubic-feet of interior cargo space and impressive interior features, this minivan provides endless options on the inside. Pacifica's also provide up to 600 more pounds of towing capacity than Odyssey's as they top out at 3,600 pounds. This 7-passenger van has provided a "plug-in hybrid model" as well that gives families the opportunity to travel up to 33 miles on the battery life alone! Also, the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica comes with a 3 year/36,000-mile warranty, and a staggering 5 year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty! Honda's powertrain warranty only lasts up until 60,000 miles.

 

    The 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite comes with an excellent resale value, and provides outstanding fuel economy, safety features, and overall reliability. According to kbb.com, Odyssey models are "one of the most reliable, most practical, and most enjoyable minivans you can buy." With a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and a maximum interior cargo space of a 158 cubic-feet, these Hondas exceed expectation. Honda has implemented a rearview back up camera with 3 different view options that definitely helps assist with the parking process! Honda Odyssey's also have had a great reputation for more than twenty years running while the Pacifica has only been in production since 2017.

 

    According to motortrend.com, the Pacifica is the "more comfortable, stylish, and clever package" when compared to the 2019 Honda Odyssey.
