Which Model Offers Better Value?

When comparing the price of both vehicles, it may seem the Honda Odyssey is the better deal. However, the base Pacifica includes a more powerful engine and is loaded with a larger list of features, clearly taking the upper hand in this competition. The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica comes with a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine that delivers 287 horsepower and a best-in-class towing capacity of 3,600 pounds. The Honda Odyssey provides slightly lower horsepower and less towing capacity. Both vehicles achieve the same fuel-economy ratings, but Chrysler offers the only hybrid minivan on the market, which gets up to an incredible 82 mpge rating.

Key Features of the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica

The 2020 Pacifica stands out when it comes to entertainment. The base Touring includes a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration so that drivers can enjoy a hands-free call without the need to take their eyes off the road. Drivers willing to get these features in the base Odyssey will need to spend extra money. Chrysler also knows the importance of keeping all the family entertained during long trips. That’s why the Pacifica comes available with two rear 10-inch touchscreens, the largest in the class, that include interactive apps, games and a Blu-Ray player.

A minivan is only worth considering if it brings extra comfort to the passengers. Both the Pacifica and the Odyssey come with available convenience features like Power Sliding Doors, Hands-Free Power Tailgate and a built-in vacuum. Still, the Pacifica eclipses its competitor in terms of practicality thanks to the Stow ‘N Go seating and storage system. This minivan is the only model in the segment that allows you to fold the second and third-row seats into the floor to make extra space for all the cargo.
