The good news? Should the Honda's alchemy not tickle your fancy, chances are the Pacifica's will. We can guarantee that your selection of one van over the other will come down to your desires surrounding handling, rear-seat comfort, and cargo-hauling flexibility-the three primary areas in which the Odyssey and Pacifica diverge. Where Each ExcelsĪ few key subjective preferences are what separate the Honda and Chrysler atop the minivan pedestal. HIGHS: Fine driving manners, powerful V-6, comfortable seats. And as we've mentioned, Chrysler offers a plug-in-hybrid version of the Pacifica Honda offers no hybridized Odyssey equivalent. According to ALG, after two years and 30,000 miles, an Odyssey that stickered at $45,000 is worth $9000 more than an equivalent Pacifica. However, the Honda retains its value far better. Neither van represents particular value relative to the other-although the Honda comes standard with many active-safety features that are optional on the Chrysler-and both can be optioned to near $50,000. If a built-in vacuum cleaner is a must-have, both the Pacifica and the Odyssey offer one, although the Pacifica makes you give up the spare tire to get it. The only out-of-the-ordinary service the Honda required was a pair of replacement rear window switches around 17,000 miles, which was covered under warranty, and an infotainment issue detailed below. The Honda's $566 in service costs was almost identical to what we spent on the Pacifica: $572. It isn't running costs: The Odyssey averaged 23 mpg during its stay with us, while the Pacifica was just behind it at 22 mpg.
