2019 Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey

Minivans are ideal vehicles for growing families from Greenwood, Franklin, and New Whiteland. If you are looking to buy a minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey likely are at the top of your list. Both are superb vehicles and close to each other in quality. With this 2019 Chrysler Pacifica vs. Honda Odyssey comparison, explore the features of both vehicles to determine which car appeals more to you.

Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Performance 

Both the Pacifica and the Odyssey have a standard V6 engine. The Chrysler Pacifica has a slight edge in power as its engine produces 287 horsepower versus the 280 horsepower with the Honda’s engine. Nine-speed automatic transmission is standard in both cars. With the Odyssey, a 10-speed automatic transmission is also available in the upper trims for a more seamless shift in gears.   

Both cars provide exceptional comfort on the road. The Pacifica and Odyssey also have distinctive suspension systems that can absorb most road imperfections with little problem. The combination of quick steering and sturdy brakes helps you easily maneuver around tight corners. Overall, you’ll get a very smooth ride from either minivan.

Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Interior and Cargo Space

The 2019 Pacifica has three rows with a maximum seating capacity of seven people. While the Odyssey’s base trim also seats up to seven, the upper trims can seat up to eight passengers. Both cars have easy access to the third row. 

You will find ample cargo space with either car. The Odyssey has a little more maximum cargo space than the Pacifica (158 cubic feet versus 140 cubic feet). To get the most cargo space in the Odyssey, however, you would have to fold down the third row and remove the second row of seats from the car. Some drivers may think this is too cumbersome. By comparison, the Pacifica’s back rows easily fold flat down.

Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Technology and Safety

Both cars offer a huge selection of 2019 technology features that should keep passengers occupied on road trips. The infotainment systems for both cars are innovative and easy to use. Chrysler’s Uconnect® and Honda’s HondaLink® even allow you to use your smartphone to locate your car and lock its doors.

Which car has better features may depend on your preferences. For example, both cars have rear seat entertainment systems. The Odyssey’s system plays Blu-ray™ discs and the Chrysler Pacifica’s system plays DVDs. The Pacifica’s system also has apps that play games such as Checkers and the License Plate Game. 

Both minivans provide an impressive selection of safety features. The Honda Sensing® safety package is standard in all but the base trim. Chrysler also has many standard features, but not all are the same as the Honda’s. Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Departure Warning are standard in the Odyssey but optional in the Pacifica. Similarly, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are standard for the Pacifica yet add-on features for the Odyssey.
