If you’re looking to boost your family up to a minivan, you’ve likely noticed that there are but a few options on the market, and all of them are fierce competitors. The Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica are two of the most popular minivans on the market, and they both have a lot to offer. Let’s compare these two vans to see which you should choose.
The 2020 Honda Odyssey and the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica are both powered by V6 engines and automatic transmissions, but that doesn’t mean that these two vans are identical. One glaring difference is that all 2020 Honda Odyssey models come equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters so that you won’t sacrifice any driving performance aspects just because you need a minivan for your family. The Pacifica doesn’t offer paddle shifters in any trim, and it only offers a nine-speed automatic transmission. Both vans, however, have very similar fuel efficiency estimates.
When you look at the cabins that these two vans offer, you’ll see that the 2020 Honda Odyssey is once again in the lead with several features that the 2020 Pacifica can’t match. First, the 2020 Pacifica doesn’t have an equivalent to Honda’s Magic Slide® second row seats, CabinTalk® ( an in-car PA system), or CabinWatch®, Honda’s rear-row monitoring camera. The Odyssey is also the only one of these two competitors to offer a wireless phone charger and traction management. On top of all of this, the Odyssey packs in all of these features for a significantly lower price, and you’ll only save even more when you’re shopping with us at Bob Brady Honda.
Staying safe while you drive, especially when little ones are on board, is of the utmost importance, which is why the Honda Sensing® suite is standard in almost every trim of the 2020 Honda Odyssey. This innovative suite of features consists of a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, lane-keeping assist system, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic monitoring, and multi-angle rearview camera. In comparison, the Pacifica only offers blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, collision warning and braking, and parking assistance.
When you need a reliable minivan that is fun to drive and absolutely packed with desirable features and amenities, you need the 2020 Honda Odyssey for you and your crew. The Odyssey excels from the front bumper to the rear bumper, and you can get behind the wheel of your very own Odyssey today when you shop at Bob Brady Honda.
