Minivans compared: all 6 current models side by side

The American minivan market is small. The Weekly Driver (opens in a new tab) counts the Toyota Sienna, Kia Carnival, Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Pacifica as the only traditional minivans on sale in the U.S. in 2026, so the choice is narrow and mostly comes down to price, powertrain and how the sliding-door cabin suits your family. On Kelley Blue Book's base prices the Carnival starts at $39,035, the Sienna at $41,915, the Voyager at $43,390 and the Pacifica at $43,490.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) ranks the Toyota Sienna number one in its most fuel-efficient minivans for 2026, and a reviewer there says a week with the 2026 Sienna Platinum offered an impressive mix of space and technology with a luxury feel.

Fuel economy separates this class more than price does. The Sienna's 36 mpg combined and the Kia Carnival's 33 mpg beat the Chrysler Voyager and Honda Odyssey at 22, and the ID. Buzz is electric at 87 MPGe with an annual electricity cost of about $900 on the EPA's assumptions, against about $1,800 for the Sienna. Check each model's page for its recall and complaint record, since minivans carry sliding-door and seat hardware that the table cannot show.

Because a used minivan has years of family use behind it, the recall record matters more than mileage. Kelley Blue Book's minivan page (opens in a new tab) notes, for example, that the 2018 to 2020 Honda Odyssey was recalled to fix a rearview camera issue left over from a previous recall, which is the kind of repeat campaign a VIN lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls will show. Before you buy any used minivan, test every sliding door and the power liftgate several times, since the door mechanisms are the parts that see the most daily use.
