The new Chrysler Pacifica looks great, don't you agree? On the other hand, the Toyota Sienna definitely looks outdated - it hasn't changed much since 2010.

The Chrysler Pacifica comes in six main trim levels compared to five for the Toyota Sienna. More trim levels means more choices for car buyers and that's a good thing in our book. We give the edge in the "looks" department to the Chrysler Pacifica.

The Chrysler Pacifica and the Toyota Sienna each come equipped with a strong 6 cylinder engine that provide a quiet, comfortable ride. Pacifica's engine is able to generate 287 hp (296 for Toyota Sienna) and 262 lb-ft of torque (263 for Toyota Sienna), so the new Toyota Sienna has a little more power under the hood.

One thing that sets apart Toyota Sienna from all other minivans out there is the fact that it's the only vehicle on the market that offers all wheel drive. It works in tandem with Toyota's Active Torque Control as advanced sensors make sure that the right amount of torque is applied to each wheel. This provides excellent traction in wet or snowy conditions.

What people love about the new Chrysler Pacifica is the Stow 'n Go seats. It seems to be one of the primary reasons minivan drivers keep buying Chrysler minivans. They only require the push of a button to get them folded all the way into the floor of the van to maximize cargo space. You have to come to the dealership for yourself to see this feature in person.


Another feature that wins customers over to Chrysler is Pacifica's excellent all around visibility. Both the front and rear windshields are massive, and the roof pillars are slim in their design. The side windows are also remarkably wide, making blind spots easier to check without the help of the blind-spot monitoring system.

Both car manufacturers have had safety in mind when they were designing the vehicles. Pacifica's braking system is appropriately responsive when engaged and has a short travel distance for the pedal (is able to make a panic stop from 60 mph in just about 119 feet, which is considered short for this segment). Toyota Sienna does slightly worse - it stops from 60 mph in 120 feet.

So, which one is better - Chrysler Pacifica or Toyota Sienna?

If all you care about is a bit more cargo space and slightly larger interior you should go with the Toyota Sienna. However, in our opinion, the Chrysler Pacifica is a better deal for the money.
