Between Sonoma County trips beyond Santa Rosa, rides around Sacramento, and journeys back to home in Cameron Park, the new Honda Odyssey is the family minivan providing fun for every occasion. Families from Shingle Springs and greater Sacramento want to know how new minivans compare to one another, which is why Shingle Springs Honda stacks up the Honda Odyssey to the Chrysler Pacifica.

Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica Interior

Space — Legroom & Cargo

Want more legroom on rides from Shingle Springs to an event in Sacramento? The Honda Odyssey provides equal first-row legroom at 41 inches but more legroom in the back two rows at 41 and 38 inches, respectively. This tops second- and third-row legroom figures of the Chrysler Pacifica at 39 and 36 inches.

As Santa Rosa families plan a vacation, they'll have more room for luggage and belongings in the new Honda Odyssey which provides 33 to 158 cubic feet of cargo space. The Chrysler Pacifica counters with 32 to 141 cubic feet of cargo space.

Design Features

Power sliding doors are a must for new minivans, and both the Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey provide these to help passengers in Cameron Park families enter and exit with ease.

The Honda Odyssey gives Cameron Park families access to Magic Slide® 2nd-row seats and a 60/40 split third-row Magic Seat®. The third row can tuck into the cargo floor, just like the Pacifica. Chrysler's minivan has a similar cabin setup with Stow 'n Go® Seating, third-row access through Easy Tilt Seating, and the Stow 'n Go Storage System. On rides back home to Shingle Springs, the Honda Odyssey keeps all passengers comfortable with Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, a missing feature on the Chrysler Pacifica. Each minivan offers sunshades for the second and third row.

Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica Performance

Both new minivans are powered by a V6 engine and deliver identical torque ratings at 262 pound-feet.

Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica Entertainment & Safety

Tech

Because no connection is needed, the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System in Honda's minivan is superior to navigation offered through Uconnect® in the Chrysler Pacifica. The CabinWatch® camera in the Honda Odyssey is similar to the Pacifica's interior FamCAM™. CabinTalk® is an exclusive Honda Odyssey feature. Both minivans come with several USB ports, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ compatibility, and a wireless phone charger.

Safety

The Honda Odyssey provides a Rear Seat Reminder, a Blind Spot Information System, a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, and several Honda Sensing® safety features. This includes Traffic Sign Recognition, which is missing on the Pacifica. Chrysler's minivan offers 115 safety and security features but is missing a comprehensive safety suite.
