Travel in Style with These Luxurious Minivans
While the minivan’s boxy shape may not be winning any design awards, the segment has come a long way. These family haulers are now available with luxurious features that can rival high-end SUVs.
Though most minivans on the market still offer budget-friendly base trims, packed with essential safety and infotainment technology, the options really open up when you want to take things up a notch. This list highlights the models with the most impressive features, perfect for growing families. Note: We update all reviews throughout the year, so the scores and rankings shown here may differ from those in the full reviews.
2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid
The Kia Carnival Hybrid, new for 2025, offers a more efficient version of the standard Carnival. While acceleration might be slightly slower due to the hybrid system, the Carnival Hybrid provides a comfortable ride and plenty of space. The price listed is for the top SX Prestige trim, along with the optional Rear Seat Entertainment package (featuring dual displays), leather upholstery, and an intercom system. Second-row captain’s chairs with heating, ventilation, and recline functions are also available.
2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz
The Volkswagen ID.Buzz is a standout, breaking the mold of minivan aesthetics with its unique styling. This all-electric van boasts a sleek, rounded silhouette, a bright two-tone color scheme, LED light bars, and illuminated badges. In the top 1st Edition trim, the ID.Buzz comes with all-wheel drive, a panoramic roof, hands-free sliding doors, a hands-free liftgate, and heated and ventilated front seats with massage functionality.
2025 Kia Carnival
As a newer entry to the minivan market, the Kia Carnival offers a modern design. It offers spacious seating across all three rows. At the listed price you’ll get the top SX Prestige trim, which includes an optional dual-screen entertainment system.
2025 Toyota Sienna
The Toyota Sienna received a refresh for 2025, including updated infotainment, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available refrigerator and vacuum cleaner. While the hybrid engine can be noisy, and the seating configuration impacts maximum cargo capacity, it’s well-equipped, spacious, and comfortable. The top Platinum trim offers leather upholstery, heated front and second-row seats, and a driver intercom system.
2025 Chrysler Pacifica
The Chrysler Pacifica is a strong contender with its modern design and features, such as fold-flat Stow ‘n Go seating and available all-wheel drive. In the top Pinnacle trim, the Pacifica comes with Nappa leather upholstery, a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, rear entertainment displays, and a vacuum cleaner.
2025 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid variant, offers a blend of comfort and luxury. The top Pinnacle trim offers Nappa leather upholstery with matching throw pillows. However, the hybrid’s interior isn’t as versatile as the standard Pacifica, due to the location of the battery pack, which limits seating arrangements and types.
2025 Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey emphasizes comfort, providing ample space in all three rows and a quiet cabin. The Odyssey offers upscale materials and amenities such as leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and Honda’s innovative Magic Slide second-row seats. The top Elite trim adds a hands-free power liftgate and Honda’s CabinWatch camera system.
Great Minivan Alternatives
For those who would never consider a minivan, various three-row SUVs offer a similar level of family-hauling practicality without the associated stigma.
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

The top Summit Reserve trim features a premium McIntosh sound system with 19 speakers and a separate 10.25-inch touch screen for the front passenger. Other amenities include premium leather and heated/ventilated seats in the first two rows.
2025 Volkswagen Atlas
The Volkswagen Atlas comes in both a traditional three-row and a two-row coupe-inspired version (Atlas Cross Sport).
