I had a 2018 Pacifica Limited as a lease vehicle, so I had to return it in August. I got a 2012 Odyssey now. Not as much technology, it got 130k miles right now, but drives and shifts absolutely smoother than a 2018 Pacifica at 45k miles. We noticed right away the seats are much comfortable. The way Honda handles the road, Chrysler can't be even close. We got tired on a long trips, but not on a Honda.

If I have to take a seat 1x, I’ll never get anything other than a Chrysler van. I don’t think you mentioned it, but Chryslers can stow n go in seconds and fit 4x8 sheets of drywall/plywood etc. and close the hatch. Which means I’m rainy weather, a Chrysler can get those sheets home dry where 90% of trucks can’t unless you have an 8ft bed and a toneau cover too

I have just been in a Pacifica last night, I'm really impressed, v6 has some serious pull, interior was very spacious and luxurious.

I just bought my 2022 Pacifica S and I am loving this vehicle 😍

Stow-n-Go seats aren't available on Pinnacle trim or Hybrid model.

Just bought the Honda Touring trim.. LOVE LOVE this thing and its the wifeys..I could daily it myself with joy!

Random comments: - my current FWD Odyssey is great in the snow. I wouldn't even think of AWD unless I was in hilly terrain which I am not. Don't need the extra complexity, repair costs nor added $$ sales price. - I'll take 19' tires than 20' and a better ride. No contest. Give me 18" tires & better the ride. Auto companies are forcing larger tires across the board trading off ride quality. - agree that the Honda exterior is not pleasing to the eye. Horrible styling. - rather than diss Honda's ECO mode claim, say what it is that they are claiming. And wouldn't it make sense to have the eco mode option if on a highway trip? - my family has already voted, Honda's second row seats win hands down. Who cares if I have to remove them a couple of times a year. Those sitting in the back would much rather have the more comfortable seats.

Very good review. Thanks

Awesome video and editing.. it shows more effort went into this than many other youtubers in this segment

Looking at the Pacifica really makes you realize the audacity of the Metris.

...AGAIN, for the 18th thousandth time, how do you guys not have more subscribers and likes with videos and content like this?! Lol, this was an awesome review. Please do more videos like this, hell, more content period!! Oh, and I like the idea of a Pacifica Hellcat😎, I like the Pacifica period.

Rented one to go to DisneyWorld with family and put 2,400 miles on it in a week. Bought a new 2021 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Limited about 3 weeks later because we liked it so much. I got over 1,100 miles with the first fill-up. If you charge it overnight on a standard 110 outlet, you get 32-34 miles on pure electric. It's amazing how that adds up and saves gas. On gas in hybrid mode, for longer trips, it gets just over 30 MPG. My MPG, combined with the electric driving, is averaging 61 MPG. I never have to sweat out range because the engine kicks in when the battery power is exhausted. The vehicle has plenty of power in either mode and much more room and comfort than an SUV. I never thought I would purchase, or even consider, a minivan. But this seems to be the perfect combination of efficiency and comfort with lots of storage space when needed. Plus, it came with every driver assist and safety function, including a world-class audio system with CarPlay.

The pacific redesign makes the front look WAY better, and the Odyssey redesign makes the front look WAAAY worse. Weird. 🤔

Had a Pacifica that would lurch fwd when stopped at w light. And wouldn’t register throttle when going at times. Safety hazard and tried to lemon law it. Have the ody now. Happy with it. All I want is mechanical reliability. The Pacifica did look better. But we use the Honda sliding seats much more often than the sto n go Pacifica seats.

FCA has always made the better looking van imo. We had a grand caravan growing up and I loved it. It was very problematic ( like you’d expect a Chrysler product ) but we enjoyed it lol

Is the drive smooth? How’s the suspension compare? And what about uturns how good/ is one better than the other?

Purchased a 2020 launch edition with awd, we love it, and I'm a truck guy

A Pacifica Limited AWD would have been a better comparison. Closer to the Honda's price and with the Stow and Go 2nd row seats. That one feature would keep me from going Pinnacle. To have a comfortable van with all the toys and be able to convert it into a hauler of lots of stuff in a couple of minutes, AND with AWD, then Bob's your uncle.

8 usable seats offered by Honda by default is not to be dismissed. You can get 8 with the Chrysler but the middle row person suffers. Shame Honda doesn't offer AWD but my guess is it'll be there in '23.

I was wanting to buy a Pacifica Hybrid so bad ever since it came out years ago since it's (still) the only plug-in hybrid minivan game in town. Kept an eye on reliability throughout the years, and even at the most reliable (2020) it's a 2/5 Consumer Reports reliability score. Honda is 5/5 so I guess I'll eat the mileage to not have all the cool electronic stuff fail, or worse, get my family stranded on the side of the road.

Pacifica wins hands-down.I have a 2017 limited and I would still take that over a new Honda Odyssey

Right now I'm in a 2020 Toyota Corolla LE. trying to save up for either a Toyota Sienna or Chrysler pacifica.

I went with the Odyssey EX trim. The Honda’s reliability, resale value and initial deal. The only downside for me is the AWD (which I don’t need where I live).

I like that Honda has the 10 speed now. Hopefully we see that transmission instead of ZF 9 speed in Pilot and Passport and Ridgeline. It does need AWD though, huge miss for Honda. I take the Odyssey unless I need AWD.

Looks: Pacifica easily. And all around: Pacifica 🇨🇦

which one do you like pacifia or odyssey write on the comments

Had an Odyssey for 10 years went with the Pacifica this time around. AWD was the main thing that put it over the top.

Great job btw, just one thing you said that if you wanna save the most gas you can't buy a Pacifica, but with the hybrid, you could use no gas if your day trip is no more then 30 miles a day. Or up to 80mpg if you use both gas and electricity. So technically in lots of real life situations, the Pacifica can be bought to be the most fuel efficient van on the road.

The Honda was missing the most important part for what I do. Stow and Go. I don't want the hassle of having to remove seats.

At the end of the day it's still Mopar. Good luck trying to get the same dependability from a Pacifica @ 150K+ miles. I'll keep my Honda!!

Hence why we are in the process of purchasing the 2021 Pacifica Hybrid.

5:15 not true, many 90s vans offered AWD including the Toyota Previa, Mazda MPV, Chevy Astro, Ford Aerostar etc

Unless you absolutely 100% NEED the stow'n'go seats, then get the Pacifica Hybrid. By far the best minivan ever created. You get the best of both worlds too with the plug-in EV driving. For all your short trips, you are on EV, but you still have the 500+ mile range of the ICE engine if you need the long distance and you'll get 30mpg minimum. Best we did was 2,550 miles (not a typo!) on a single tank of gas thanks to doing most driving in EV mode (and still had 1/4 tank left)! Bonus, if you get the hybrid you can get $7,500 back federal tax credit in the US, making it cheaper than the competition.

what is the color of Pacifica shown in this video

Why would you test top of the line models???

Pacifica all the way. 👍

If the 2021 Odyssey has an eco mode with a VCM engine, realistically it can get over 35 mpg highway mileage going 65 mph. Going 75 mph the economy suffers, maybe 28 mpg freeway.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Great work and appreciate the humor. I do have to mention that the Toyota Sienna counterpart cannot send 100% power to the rear with its awd system as its really more of a suggestion than an actual awd system. It has the dumb "electric" awd system which gets stuck on skid plates consistently in testing. The Pacifica would be my chose. Lovely inside and out with a great NA V6. That is until/if Kia brings over the new Sedona/Carnival here to North America. Then I would go Sedona/Carnival

I've done 35 mpg with super unleaded gasoline at 75 mph without using the green stuff...2019 odyssey touring

I wish Honda would add Stow and Go seats to the Odyssey.

Also the Pacifica hybrid is not offered in awd.

I guess I need an advice from an actual professional at this point. I have been driving Odyssey 2010 for a couple of years. It has almost 150000 miles on it. Drives really smooth so far. No issues what so ever. We have a son with special needs. One of those needs is he is on a wheel chair. He is getting bigger and heavier so we decided to sell this van and get something newer. Eventually we shall add a lift gate for his wheel chair. If anyone of you has something similar going on, I would appreciate the advice. What is the best option in my case: Pacifica, Odyssey or Sienna. The entire 3 raw will be gone as it will be used for his wheel chair access. Upfront we shall seat our other 3 kids. I will need to get something that will be very durable and will last me at least as much as this Honda lasts so far. I would also prefer more or less gas efficient vehicle. It is just wearing out slowly but surely, I guess. Plus my Odyssey 2010 does consume bunch of gas. Installing all the equipment on old Odyssey and then re-assembling it once it hits 250000 miles plus just does not make any sense to me. I would highly appreciate an honest and friendly advice. Thanks much.

The Odyssey is packaged so strangely in Canada. I remember when the base price was only $33k CAD but now it starts at $43k. The Pacifica has such a great interior though. Blows the new Sienna away easily. Plug-in hybrid option is the way to go.

Skipped right over the fact that the Pinnacle does not have mid stow-n-go seats…

Honda odessey a thousand times over: better build quality on engines and transmission, gas milage and easy to maintain and work on. Says who? Mechanic here. Not to mention the other very good quality, Toyota Sienna. This car guy tried too hard to bash Honda continuously.

Definitely the Pacifica. Btw if you get the sport package it will have paddle shifters

If you remove the rental company sales of the Pacifica... does it still make it the best selling minivan?

Is the main reason why I don't like this comparison because the Pacifica was not originally a minivan. Not sure why Chrysler did the name switch. They could have just said the newly redesigned Town & Country.

I’d take the pacifica

Pacifica Hybrid all the way.... no amount of percieved reliability advantage beats going from filing up about once a week to only filling up with gas twice in 3 months. Not to mention way better interior and tech

Had a 2018 Buick enclave but with 4 kids in car seats looking for something more car seat friendly. Definately looking at the pacifica to upgrade

I'd get the Pacifica

Funny how they don't even mention that stow n go doesn't come on the pinnacle trim

Pacifica all the way

We are seriously looking at a Pacifica Limited instead of the Pinnacle because Pacifica the Pinnacle and the Hybrid don't offer 2nd row Stow and Go. For this video, the Limited would have been a better comparison to the Honda.

I'm a Mechanic, unfortunately, chrysler are taking advantage from customer to use low quality parts to sell more in parts and service department more than Honda.

Chrysler is the # 1 for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The question is which minivan you would have for the rest of your life or during a apocalypse

Green Toyota Sienna for me please.

Honda does not have a 360 camera.

The Chrysler Pacifica would be great for people unless you live in a apartment where you can't charge it up

Chrysler Pacifica has AWD before 2021. Launch addition.

Both are grate 😂 they played like big kids love the cars & 😂 brothers who was in video

Before you buy Odyssey, you may want to search 2012 Honda Odyssey paint chipping off and Honda doesn't care.

If you haven't driven either, then respectfully, please shut your cake 'oles. My main concern remains with FCA's appalling overall reliability record for their vehicles. However, I have read a far better than average for the Pacifica. Would people that own the Pacifica. please comment how you have found the reliability? Another problem, is that FCA's reliability record means low residual value. Lastly, both lower trim versions use the bad 9 speed ZF auto box, any current owners want to comment on that box? Is it as bad as the reports say (Alex on Autos and Savage Geese for example)?

But will the Chrysler brand be cancelled?

If you don't get it loaded, you can save $20K. Do you really need every expensive gadget?

We bought the 22 Pacifica, daughter and her husband bought a 22 Honda, both retailed about 42k so both lower trim. My opinion is Chrysler much louder way more road noise, Honda feels much more bolted together, Honda came with a spare, I’d have never bought the Chrysler if I’d known it didn’t have a spare tire! Honda also has a power passenger seat and sun roof. Now I’ll have a 40lb. bullet, a after market spare with no way to secure it in the back. GET THE HONDA, we made a bad decision!!!😡

No with all do respect the honda odyssey is the best you dont need tech and luxury to be great the honda has one of the best minivan engines and fuel economy

I recently was at Honda dealership and was so surprised with the vehicle they have there. It's a 2007 Honda Accord with 617000! Yes! 617000 miles on ODO!🤯 And it still drives great!💁‍♀️ Can Chrysler do that???

Pacífica looks better, honda probably has better powertrain

Pacifica

I owne town & country 2015 since new engine needs repair right after the extended warranty is gone (75,000) ..so no more 3.6L for me ..that’s plus bad gas mileage 1st 20,000 I was lucky to get 18/mpg now the most 21mpg …..now let’s talk about resale value…Honda one of the best to hold on that …Chrysler 😅 your money out of the window….no more Chrysler for me …I’m going crazy for the Grand Cherokee L …but sadly to get the 5.7L you have to pay over $65,000😇

Pacifica is way better

Pasifica is bigger

0:53 elongated honda civic

I'll take Honda anytime.

I have no need for minivans but I'd prefer the new Sienna if ever... Nice comparison review

Wow Pacific best

Pacifica’s last forever. A friend of mine had one, was a reliable van for 15 years.

Где найти это сравнение на русском?🤷‍♂️

Pacifica is nice but odyssey has a better trade value then pacifica , (if you care about that )Chryslers DO NOT KEEP THIER VALUE, smart buyers know better. I think Chrysler paid some really good money for this review 🤔

On certain trims like Limited or Pinnacle level, you don't need to tug on the sliding door handle to open it, you just need to press the small button on them, please learn the product your attempting to review.

The suburban does beat it especially in cargo

My honda is still on the road, um Chrysler not so much, there is the difference

The odessey would have 2 time the life . Tho the pacifica has better features

My be Pacifica best

DOY!!!

Honda looks better but I vote Chrystal

Why complain about not having 4 wheel drive when you dont even want it. If you want it get it. If you don't need it, get a Honda.

The chrysler is gonna break down in 5 years...

He did Honda O wrong 😂

Yes agreed. Pacifica is better!

THE PACIFICA SLAPS

Pinnacle is dope, but they're just NOT reliable. Honda wins this one tenfold.

Chryslers have alot of transmission issues mine died in two weeks.the honda will last alot longer chrysler just trying to sell ya all these bells and whistles to divert attention off there poor quality transmissions. both honda and toyota will last why longer and your get your money worth over time as you will see if you look second hand toyota s and hondas hold there value for a reason. They also still running fine with crazy high mileage.

Chrysler owned by Fiat= Poor Reliability… Honda wins Although the the only answer is the Toyota Sienna

A few things here. Yes...Pacifica is the nicer of the two (probably the nicest minivan on the market) in terms of aesthetics. However...if you're only going to drive it 100,000 miles and then get a new one then fine....but if you want a van that will just go and go for forever then you go with a Toyota or Honda. Simple. Chrysler is the worst American Car company (except for Jeep...which is where all of their money comes from and goes out to developing). The 4 wheel plug-in hybrid for the Pacifica is super enticing...but you cannot trust it. It's their first real hybrid (outside of that really really bad SUV from a decade ago). Anyhow. It would be great if Chrysler figured out how to build great, long lasting engines and transmissions. But they don't. Until then. Buy a Toyota.

Honda all day.

Honda Odyssey Is By Far More Reliable. It is true that Honda does not have all the bells and whistles but they are truly safe and reliable as can be.
