2025 Chrysler Pacifica vs. 2025 Toyota Sienna

Choosing the right minivan matters more than ever for today’s families. It’s not just about space—it's about comfort, features, and how well the vehicle keeps up with your daily life. Two standout options this year are the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica and the 2025 Toyota Sienna. Both are built for families, long drives, and everyday errands, but the details tell two different stories.

Design & Style

Few minivans match the clean, modern look of the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. From its sculpted lines to its distinctive grille, this model carries an upscale presence without trying too hard. Its available alloy wheels and full-width LED lighting give it a confident look on the road. Inside, comfort takes center stage with available quilted leather seats, soft finishes, and refined design choices that elevate the cabin experience.

Toyota Sienna, by comparison, leans into sharp angles and bold curves, particularly in trims like the XSE. The interior offers a large central display and well-bolstered seats, but the second-row chairs can’t be folded into the floor. That limits how much cargo space you can open up without removing seats entirely. While it still feels solid and practical, it doesn’t provide the same flexibility for families needing quick cargo conversions.

Technology & Safety

Chrysler’s Uconnect® 5 system delivers a user-friendly interface with crisp graphics and quick response times. Families will appreciate features like the FamCAM® interior camera, which shows a clear view of the rear seats, and the rear-seat entertainment system, which supports Amazon Fire TV. Wireless smartphone integration comes standard, and a built-in vacuum is available on select trims for easy cleanups.

Toyota’s latest multimedia platform also offers smartphone compatibility and multiple USB ports for all rows. A standout addition for 2025 is a radar-based rear-seat reminder system that uses sensors to help reduce the risk of leaving items or passengers behind. Safety tech like adaptive cruise control, lane tracing, and blind-spot monitoring is standard on all trims. While the tech is useful, the learning curve on the system may be steeper than Chrysler’s more intuitive layout.

Performance

Smooth, responsive power comes from the Pacifica’s standard 3.6L V6 engine. For those interested in fuel savings, the plug-in hybrid model provides up to 32 miles of electric range before switching to gas, with a total driving range exceeding 500 miles. The hybrid model stays strong in city and highway driving alike. Available all-wheel drive also helps with confidence in rain or snow.

Sienna uses a hybrid-only system paired with a four-cylinder engine, which produces a combined 245 horsepower. Its fuel economy is impressive, reaching up to 36 miles per gallon in front-wheel-drive versions. All-wheel drive is available too, though acceleration tends to be more sluggish under heavier loads. The ride is calm and efficient, but the engine noise becomes noticeable during climbs or passing maneuvers.

The Bottom Line

Both models were clearly built with families in mind, but they serve slightly different purposes. Sienna leans heavily into fuel economy and adds a few new tech touches, like its rear-seat alert system and fridge option on higher trims. While it works well for fuel-conscious drivers, its interior layout and storage features feel less accommodating.

Pacifica offers more versatility, both in how it drives and how it functions day to day. Stow ’n Go® seating remains a standout feature, offering a flat load floor in seconds. The plug-in hybrid gives families the benefit of short electric trips without needing to fully switch to electric driving. Between its smart storage, advanced infotainment, and available all-wheel drive, it checks nearly every box.
