If we are of the “every little bit helps” mindset, then this hybrid model could single-handedly reduce the footprint of minivans everywhere.

Now, family road trips don’t have to be a choice between distance and lodging –choosing to stay at a cheaper location just to make up for the higher cost of gas. To the contrary, this hybrid model is sure to cut roadtrip costs. This means that the Sienna minivan now has the same fuel efficiency as your little hatchback or sedan. Therefore, it has the same gas mileage as our current compact option that, while efficient, is not exactly comfortable for our growing family.

Indulge me for a second!Īlthough the Odyssey, when compared to the Pacifica or the Sedona, has a heftier sticker price, the Odyssey outperforms the Pacifica and the Sedona on longevity and resale value. I thought that this article was about the Toyota Sienna. That is why, after years of research into family minivans, I settled on the Honda Odyssey. I love to number-crunch, feature-compare, recall- review, and even collect multiple opinions before forming my own. You might not know this, but I LOVE to research.
