The Honda Odyssey is the chief competitor to the Sienna. It also offers 8-seat capabilities on all but the base model and has a smooth V6. The Odyssey also offers features such as 5.1 surround audio and a refrigerated cubby to cool drinks. But no Odyssey is available with all-wheel drive and safety features like blind-spot monitoring are only available on the most expensive version. The Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan twins come with Stow 'n Go, the company's novel second and third-row seat folding system. These vans are also available with cross-path detection and two DVD screens. But no Chrysler Group minivan will seat eight people, the quality isn't quite as high as the Sienna and certain features drive the Town & Country's price high.
The Sienna remains one of, if not the, best choice for minivan shoppers. A wide variety of trim levels and available all-wheel drive mean it's a smart buy for most shoppers.
