287 minivan

The 2021 Honda Odyssey is a good minivan when viewed on its own merits, but its competitors offer more powertrain choices.

The only reason not to get a Chrysler Pacifica today is because the refreshed 2021 model is set to go on sale in the fourth quarter of the year.

After a quarter century and five generations, Honda is still bringing its A-game to the minivan segment.

As the first hybrid minivan, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid serves well in carrying that honor, offering comfort, practicality and excellent fuel economy. Its few minor niggles apply equally to the non-hybrid Pacifica.

The 2018 Honda Odyssey is solid choice for modern families with a smart loadout of available driver aid, infotainment and family-friendly tech. Plus, it's a pretty fun drive -- for a minivan.

The 2015 Kia Sedona competes well with other minivans for ease of driving and fuel economy, and shines for its suite of driver assistance features, but look elsewhere if you want a full-featured built-in rear-seat entertainment system.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is a comfortable and family-friendly minivan with a solid feature-set, but its odd interface makes cabin electronics difficult to use.
