These popular minivans pack practicality. Find out which one has the edge with CR reviewers and in our testing.
The Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey are among our top-scoring minivans each year, often dueling for inclusion in our Top Picks lists. Historically, each has delivered strong performances in CR testing—good fuel economy and good reliability. They’re also quite popular with CR members.
These well-rounded, easy-to-live-with models also match up closely in features, performance, and price. In many ways, they seem to be almost carbon copies. One of the biggest differences is their age. The Odyssey was redesigned for the 2018 model year, and the 2020 Sienna is the final year of this version, which first went on sale as a 2011 model.
Despite consistently strong test results, these minivans have been diverging in recent years in their test results and how they’ve fared in CR’s exclusive Annual Survey of CR members, which tracks reliability and owner satisfaction.
Is one more reliable than the other? Which is roomier? Does one have more available safety features? Below, we take an in-depth look and declare a winner.
