How does the 2015 Toyota Sienna compare to the Honda Odyssey?

CARGO AND COMFORT

Is ample cargo and seating capacity one of your main priorities when purchasing a minivan? Even a few cubic feet of cargo capacity can make a world of a difference when you and your family is on a road trip or adventure. With all 7 to 8 seats of the Toyota Sienna in the upright position, you'll have 39.1 cubic feet of volume behind the 3rd row, while Honda’s Odyssey provides only 38.4 cubic feet. When you need maximum space for cargo, the 2015 Toyota Sienna’s cargo volume expands to a whopping 150 cubic feet with all seats folded down. In the Odyssey, you’ll find a mere 148.5 cu. ft. The Sienna wins on cargo capacity, hands down!

POWERTRAIN

Minivans certainly carry a lot of passengers and cargo, so it helps to have a more than capable powertrain. A 3.5-liter V6 engine with 266 horsepower, connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission, powers the 2015 Toyota Sienna. The Honda Odyssey’s similarly sized 3.5-liter V6 generates only 248 horsepower. These two minivans are about the same weight, so the added power of the 2015 Toyota Sienna can make a difference when you need to haul additional passengers or cargo, or when you to use the passing or carpool lane.

ADDED TRACTION AND SAFETY OF AWD

If you’re purchasing a minivan after driving an SUV or crossover, you may be used to having the added traction and safety benefits of an all-wheel drive (AWD) system. Well, if you want to have that same level of traction and stability in a minivan, the Toyota Sienna is really your only choice. The Honda Odyssey doesn’t even offer the added benefits that AWD provides, nor does any other minivan besides the Sienna. If you even occasionally drive in adverse weather conditions, you owe it to your family to take a look at a Toyota Sienna minivan equipped with the safety and stability of AWD.
