2025 Honda Odyssey: Key Rivals
The 2025 Honda Odyssey remains a strong contender in the minivan segment, but shoppers have several excellent alternatives. Here’s a look at how the Odyssey stacks up against the competition:
Chrysler Pacifica
The Chrysler Pacifica, particularly the front-wheel-drive version, is a direct competitor. However, the Pacifica offers features the Odyssey lacks, such as a plug-in hybrid option and all-wheel drive. Both minivans offer spacious and flexible interiors, making them ideal for families.
Kia Carnival
The Kia Carnival, recently refreshed, presents a strong challenge to the Odyssey. The Carnival boasts updated technology and, crucially, offers a hybrid powertrain, an advantage over the Odyssey’s gasoline-only setup.
Toyota Sienna
Toyota’s Sienna is a hybrid-only minivan. While its middle seats may not be quite as flexible as those in the Honda, the Sienna excels in fuel economy, using significantly less gasoline. While the Sienna might not have the seat flexibility of the Odyssey, it uses far less gas.
Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade
If you’re not completely sold on a minivan, both the Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade are worth considering. These SUVs offer a slightly smaller interior, but retain a more rugged, SUV-like aesthetic.
In short, the 2025 Honda Odyssey is an excellent minivan that might fit your family’s needs. Potential buyers should consider what features are most important as they compare the Odyssey to some of the best options in the market.
The 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid minivan is rated at 33 mpg, which is greater than other minivans. The 2025 Kia Carnival minivan starts at$37,895, with the hybrid version starting at $41,985.
