Chrysler Pacifica vs Toyota Sienna

When you're ready to purchase a minivan for your family, we understand that you have a lot of options. But, we'd argue that the Chrysler Pacifica is a top pick for several reasons. To put our money where our mouth is, we at Ourisman Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM of Bowie put it head-to-head against the Toyota Sienna, one of its top rivals. So, who comes out on top-the Chrysler Pacifica or Toyota Sienna?

Performance

The Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna deliver similar ratings when it comes to engine output, as each come standard with a V6. However, there's where the similarities end. The Chrysler Pacifica boasts a maximum 3,600-lb towing capacity, which is also a best-in-class rating. The Toyota Sienna? It taps out at a maximum 3,500-lb towing threshold. Furthermore, the Chrysler Pacifica is offered as a hybrid, garnering up to 82 hwy MPGe. A hybrid version of the Toyota Sienna isn't available.

Versatility

While both vehicles feature roomy, comfortable cabins, the new Chrysler is a step above with its integration of the Stow 'n Go® seating and storage system. This innovation allows the second and third rows to be folded flat into the floor. The Toyota Sienna tries to keep up with its Split & Stow 3rd Row®, but fails to offer such a function in the second-row seat. The Chrysler Pacifica near Crofton, MD also offers Easy Tilt seating capability in the second row-a feature not available in the Sienna.

Technology

Both minivans are advanced when it comes to technology, but the Toyota Sienna struggles to hold a candle to the Chrysler Pacifica in this regard. The two models come standard with a seven-inch touchscreen, but the Pacifica has the upper hand, as it offers an upgrade to an 8.4-inch touchscreen in top trims-the Sienna doesn't feature a larger display in any model. While the Toyota Sienna boasts Apple CarPlay™, it fails to offer compatibility with Android Auto™, both of which are available in the Chrysler Pacifica.

It's easy to see the many advantages the Chrysler Pacifica has over the Toyota Sienna. To experience it firsthand and see what else it has to offer, visit our Bowie, MD Chrysler dealership. We look forward to working with you soon here at 2406 Crain Hwy.
