The
2020 Toyota Sienna is an excellent minivan with the practical features
that appeal to many prospective buyers. But how does it measure up to
the top-rated 2020 Chrysler Pacifica?
Drivers in Chittenden County, South Burlington, and St. Albans, VT, can see how these two capable minivans measure up with our Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna side-by-side comparison. Created by the team at Goss Dodge Chrysler, it'll help you decide which one is best for you and your family.
2020 Pacifica vs 2020 Sienna: Performance
The
2020 Chrysler Pacifica is equipped with a 287 horsepower 3.6L V6 that
shuttles power to the front wheels through a 9-speed automatic
transmission. This engine is smooth and strong, effortlessly moving the
considerable weight of the Pacifica. Few vehicles can compete with its
exceptional ride quality, composed handling, and confident feel.
The Toyota Sienna comes with a similarly powered 3.5L V6 that transfers power to the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine is powerful and the transmission is smooth, though it can get reluctant at highway speeds. The ride is quiet as well, though not quite as luxurious as the Pacifica. Plus, with fewer gears to switch from, it may not be as accommodating either.
Pacifica vs Sienna: Cargo Space
The
2020 Chrysler Pacifica has a total of 165 cubic feet of passenger
space, 140.5 cubic feet of which is behind the first row. This gives it a
great cargo space in its flat, unobstructed cargo bay. There are also
plenty of small storage cubbies throughout the cabin, as well as a deep
console bin for the driver.
The real game-changer is the Stow 'n Go® Seating, which is exclusive to Chrysler. These second-row seats tuck neatly into the floor for a flat cargo area with a simple flip of a lever. Many rivals claim that this compromises the comfort of these seats, though they're just as padded and supportive as the Pacifica model's other seats.
The
Toyota Sienna has a cavernous interior as well, though it's a bit
smaller than that of the Pacifica. Plus, you probably won't find it as
easy to fold down the rows for extended cargo compared to its
competitor.
Chrysler vs Toyota: Features
The
2020 Chrysler Pacifica has everything you could possibly want in a
minivan. From premium audio to leather upholstery and a panoramic roof,
there's no shortage of options for the Pacifica, and each trim level is
well-equipped. A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple
CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration is standard for all
trims, which offers one of the most user-friendly interfaces and plenty
of connectivity apps. Other optional accessories include a pet kennel, a
first-aid kit, and an in-vehicle vacuum for easy cleaning.
The
Toyota Sienna has plenty of features on the offer as well, but its
infotainment system doesn't offer smartphone integration with Android
Auto™ or similar capability. Other convenient features, like the pet
kennel and built-in vacuum, can't be found anywhere in the Sienna lineup
either.
