2019 Odyssey vs. 2019 Pacifica
If you're searching for a safe family vehicle that goes far beyond the basics of the typical minivan, the Honda Odyssey and the Chrysler Pacifica both have some interesting features to consider. Each minivan delivers distinctly fun handling for their class, and they're both loaded with convenient technology. To figure out which one is best suited to your family's needs, let's take a closer look at their key qualities.
Cabin Comfort
The Odyssey has earned praise for its supportive seating and overall comfortable ride, but the Pacifica's seats can't match that lasting comfort if your trip goes long. Passengers have found the lack of cushioning in the Pacifica's second and third rows bothersome, while no such complaints have been raised about the Odyssey's accommodations. Both Honda and Chrysler have appointed their minivans' interiors with fine materials, while the Odyssey's upholstery is also stain-resistant. Each minivan also offers optional interior upgrades like leather features. The Odyssey's car seat connectors are also rated as far easier to access and fasten than the Pacifica's anchors.
Interior Space
The standard Odyssey can seat eight passengers, while the standard Pacifica's seating capacity maxes out at seven. The Odyssey's passengers will enjoy overhead space and legroom in any row, while the Pacifica's seating space narrows toward the back. The Odyssey also pulls ahead in terms of cargo space, with 39 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats, as opposed to the Pacifica's 32.3 cubic feet. When all the passenger rows are folded in each vehicle, the Odyssey's total of 158 cubic feet of cargo space leads the Pacifica's maximum capacity by 18 cubic feet.
Ride and Performance
You'll find a capable V6 engine under the hood of either vehicle, but the Odyssey delivers a decidedly smoother driving experience. For a class that typically favors comfort over performance, both minivans deliver a refreshingly engaging drive, with responsive handling and ample energy for daily cruising and interstate acceleration. You'll start to notice the difference with the Odyssey's seamless shifting. Honda's punctual nine-speed automatic transmission gives it a competitive edge with silky-sooth transitions in town and on the highway.
