The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and Toyota Sienna Hybrid are two popular options you may want to consider when looking for an eco-friendly family minivan. But how do these minivans stack up against each other? Continue reading to find out. In this hybrid minivan comparison, our Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT team will put both models head-to-head to show which is better for your everyday commute and weekend trips in Downey, CA.
First, let’s take a look at what the two minivans have under the hood. The Sienna Hybrid features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that’s paired with two electric motors. Together, this setup produces a total of 240 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The Pacifica Hybrid is, however, more powerful, featuring a 3.6 liter Pentastar V-6 engine that churns out 260 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It also has better gas mileage and a longer all-electric driving range (32 miles) than the Toyota (30 miles). Towing capacity is another area where the Pacifica Hybrid has an edge, rated 3600 lbs as compared to the Sienna’s 3500 lbs. The two models use a CVT automatic transmission and come standard with front-wheel drive. But all-wheel drive is available as an option.
Both hybrid minivans excel on the inside. They boast a spacious, comfortable interior with welcoming seats for up to 7 people and ample stretch room for passengers. But the Pacifica Hybrid’s cabin is more tastefully designed and offers some luxurious appointments you won’t find in the Toyota Sienna Hybrid, i.e., the leather-lined seats. The Chrysler also wins when it comes to interior tech. It has a more advanced infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, whereas the Toyota is fitted with an obsolete 9-inch infotainment system.
Regarding cargo space, the Pacifica hybrid falls behind its competitor when all seats are up. It offers 32.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row, while the Sienna Hybrid has 33.3 cubic feet. But with the last seats folded down, the Chrysler provides 87.5 cubic feet of cargo, surpassing the Toyota’s 75.2 cubic feet.
The two models come equipped with a long list of driver-assistance and safety systems. However, the Pacifica Hybrid has some helpful features that are unavailable in the Sienna, such as automatic parking or a surround-view camera.
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is the clear winner of this matchup. It beats its rival in all key areas you will want to consider when buying a minivan. It is more powerful than the Sienna Hybrid and more fuel efficient, allowing you to travel longer on the road. The cabin of the Pacifica Hybrid also has a touch of luxury and offers more sophisticated tech features than that of the Toyota Hybrid. The Chrysler minivan is also the way to go if you prioritize safety and cargo space.
