2027 Chrysler Pacifica vs. 2026 Toyota Sienna

Car Confections says both vans share a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, but Toyota includes 2 years or 25,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance that Chrysler doesn't match, recommending the Pacifica Limited for maximum cargo flexibility with Stow 'n Go seating, high-end Nappa leather, and smooth V6 power, and the Sienna XSE for its incredible 36 mpg combined hybrid efficiency, top-tier reliability and resale value, and advanced tech like 4-zone climate control. TrueCar says the Toyota Sienna's $42,915 TSRP undercuts the Chrysler Pacifica's $43,590 MSRP by just $675, and the Sienna also wins on fuel economy at 36 city/36 highway mpg versus the Pacifica's 19 city/28 highway.
