Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Interior

When you want to take a road trip to the Poconos or run Saturday errands, a family minivan must deliver space. The Touring, Touring L, Limited AWD, and Pinnacle AWD Chrysler Pacifica trim levels give you 165 cubic feet of passenger volume. While the Honda Odyssey features five trims, including the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite, it offers as much as 163.6 cubic feet.

Within the Chrysler cabin, you get more front legroom than in the Honda—namely, 41.1 inches in the Pacifica vs. 40.9 inches in the Odyssey. Between both minivans, Pacifica bests the Odyssey when reviewing their respective hip and shoulder room dimensions.

Dimensions	Front	Middle	Rear
Chrysler Hip	59 inches	64.8 inches	49.5 inches
Honda Hip	58.6 inches	64.8 inches	48.4 inches
Chrysler Shoulder	63.8 inches	63 inches	61.2 inches
Honda Shoulder	63.1 inches	61.6 inches	60 inches

As you can see, the Chrysler provides more hip and shoulder room than the Honda. In the middle row, their hip room is equal.

Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Technology

Size matters when it comes to the displays found in the Chrysler minivan. The available 10.1-inch full-color touchscreen takes center stage with 19 different widgets to customize your screen. In the back seat, two seatback-mounted dual 10-inch HD touchscreens will entertain your passengers.

In the Honda, the largest display available for your dashboard is the 8-inch Display Audio touch-screen. An optional Advanced Rear Entertainment System with a 10.2-inch high-resolution screen can be installed for backseat passengers.

Through the Pacifica touchscreen, you can simultaneously hook up and use two phones. Standard wireless phone connectivity enables you to keep your phone refreshed while using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. You can also tune in to an available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System that includes 19 speakers for solid sound coming from every corner.

If you choose the Odyssey LX trim, there’s no option to use Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ or the wireless phone charger. Although your music plays throughout the entire minivan with Multi-Zone Audio, its available Premium Audio System only includes 11 speakers.

Chrysler Pacifica vs Honda Odyssey Safety
