Whether it’s just your family on board or you’re carpooling your kid’s friends back to your house, your and their security is paramount. Which minivan takes your security to new heights?
Safety is the top priority of any vehicle, and both Honda and Chrysler have made sure to include plenty of helpful and effective driver-assist features when designing the 2023 Odyssey and the 2023 Pacifica. Honda’s safety suite and the Pacifica have many standard safety systems in common, including:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System
However, only the Odyssey has the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure. This body design uses a network of front-frame structures to absorb and divert the energy from a frontal collision.
When you have all your kids on board, your attention will be on them and the road. That being said, you may miss an important road sign in your travels, like how fast you should be driving. The Odyssey always makes sure you’re in the loop with its standard Traffic Sign Recognition System. It displays road signs on the instrument cluster.
Without a similar system in the Pacifica, you’ll have to pay close attention to the road.
When it comes to your growing family, you’re going to need space. After all, you’re going to have many strollers, diaper bags, homemade volcanoes, and band practice gear to haul throughout your kids’ lives. Which minivan offers more cargo space and a nimbler performance that avoids jostling your essentials?
Whether you’re carpooling to basketball practice, moving your oldest into college, or getting ready for your annual vacation, having plenty of cargo space is essential. The Honda Odyssey and the Chrysler Pacifica are happy to oblige, but the Odyssey takes the lead:
2023 Honda Odyssey |

2023 Chrysler Pacifica
|
|---|---|---|
| 144.9 cubic feet | Cargo Volume Behind 1st Row | 140.5 cubic feet |
| 89.2 cubic feet | Cargo Volume Behind 2nd Row | 87.5 cubic feet |
| 32.8 cubic feet | Cargo Volume Behind 3rd Row | 32.3 cubic feet |
As you can see, the Odyssey is the better choice when you need to cart around a lot of belongings.
When it comes to exterior dimensions, it’s best to have a ride that’s easy to maneuver around crowded city streets and tight parking spaces. While the Odyssey and the Pacifica both accommodate in this area, it’s the Odyssey that comes out on top:

2023 Chrysler Pacifica
|
|---|---|---|
| 118.1 inches | Wheelbase | 121.6 inches |
| 69.6 inches | Height | 69.9 inches |
| 78.5 inches | Width | 79.6 inches |
It’s clear that the 2023 Odyssey provides a more streamlined ride, which is especially important when you have your whole family in tow. Plus, its shorter wheelbase makes moving this Honda minivan feel like you’re driving a zippy sedan.
Whether you need to entertain your little ones on the way to Grandma’s or need some on-road me time, the Honda and the Chrysler provide easy-to-use infotainment suites to get the job done. Which one offers the technology you crave?
Keeping your family entertained while on the road is vital—whether you’re making a quick trip to the grocery store or going on a cross-country adventure. Because of this, the 2023 Odyssey and the 2023 Pacifica are jam-packed with stellar connectivity and infotainment options. For instance, they both make Bluetooth®, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, and generously sized touchscreens standard offerings.
The Odyssey sets itself apart by offering seven standard speakers as opposed to the six in the Pacifica.
Plus, the Odyssey has the available CabinTalk® In-Car PA System. With this feature, you can communicate with passengers in the rear seats through their connected headphones or rear speakers. This feature will be especially helpful when the cabin is noisy.
Although the Pacifica offers other cabin technologies, it goes without a similar PA system that makes communicating easier.
To be sure, the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is a quality ride. However, with its unique body design, spacious cargo room, and advanced tech features, we think the 2023 Honda Odyssey is the better choice for drivers in Bloomington, Columbus, and Ellettsville.
