• We drove the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica.
• We compared cargo space, infotainment systems, and the driving dynamics of each vehicle.
• There were a lot of similarities, but one of the minivans stood out among the rest.

It's easy to conclude that all minivans are the same - but they aren't! Each carmaker brings its own mojo to the task of building these versatile family haulers, which sell decently decades after the vehicle type was introduced, but which are stigmatized and often overlooked in favor of SUVs.
