2022 Toyota Sienna vs. Odyssey Comparison

X of X

Chunky vans are a thing of the past. Now, automakers are creating sleek and sophisticated vehicles that active drivers can navigate through the city or during a weekend getaway to the country.

For the 2022 model year, the Sienna offers the Woodland Edition. This souped up trim includes standard All-Wheel Drive, roof rails with crossbars, and increased ground clearance. The 2022 Honda Odyssey's biggest change for the new model year is the addition of the Radiant Red Metallic II exterior color option.

If you haven't already guessed, the 2022 Sienna offers many great performance features. You won't have to worry while driving through inclement weather thanks to its available AWD. Plus, the hybrid engine provides better EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings to help you go farther for less. The Odyssey specs page doesn't mention AWD or an available hybrid engine, either.

So, which van has the features to maximize your day? See the safety, performance, and interior features of the Sienna vs. Odyssey.

Driving Made Easy

For extra reassurance in inclement weather, the Sienna has All-Wheel Drive available on all trim levels. The Odyssey has nothing other than the standard Front-Wheel Drive drivetrain option.

While the Odyssey does have a Snow Mode driving option for better performance in wintery conditions, the Sienna has available AWD and Normal, ECO, EV, and Sport drive modes.

It's one thing to have a vehicle with available AWD and it's another to have a van that has both available AWD and a standard hybrid engine. No matter the drivetrain you choose, all Sienna models have a hybrid engine. The Sienna FWD has an EPA-estimated 36/36/36 (city/highway/combined) MPG rating and the AWD versions have an EPA-estimated 35/36/35 (city/highway/combined) MPG rating. The competition doesn't even come close with an EPA-estimated 19/28/22 (city/highway/combined) MPG rating across the Odyssey lineup.

Conclusion: Sienna vs. Odyssey

When you have more passengers on board, safety and convenience features are key to helping keep everyone happy and healthy. The Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey have seating for the whole family, but the Sienna has more standard features.

One feature you can expect on all Sienna models is a hybrid engine that makes for a better road trip experience with an EPA-estimated 36/36/36 (city/highway/combined) MPG rating. The Odyssey has an EPA-estimated 19/28/22 (city/highway/combined) MPG rating for all trims.

Don't struggle to get the kids in and out of their car seats with the Sienna super-long-slide feature on the 7-Passenger XLE and higher. The Odyssey does not have this ability.

With better estimated MPG ratings, more standard multimedia options, and available AWD, it's easy to see why the Sienna won the Kelley Blue Book® 2021 Best Buy Award for a minivan and ideal choice for you and your family.
