AWD Odyssey? Where? Configurator at Automobiles.honda.com shows no such vehicle. Google search reveals same.

[@donwhitehead4587]

Maybe you meant Sienna?

[@drivingsports]

Actually was thinking Pilot the non-van Honda Van. But yes, Sienna is good with AWD.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Correction, the only minivan with AWD is the Sienna.

[@confettihunterminus1]

That’s what I thought. The new chrysler pacifica will be available with awd

[@trent7080]

Wrong

[@Ktheodoss]

Wow! I think it’s the first time I’ve felt envious over a minivan. That’s nice! Seems like it would be great for long road trips.

[@aljonjuan3061]

I do like how you review cars and put them to test. Would you please do a review of the 2020 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD and drive it in your famous rocky dirt road or the sandy/clay hill climb - AL of Montreal. Thanks.

[@qbtc]

So if the only minivan you would take over the Pacifica Hybrid is a Honda Odyssey AWD that does not exist, that says a lot for the Pacifica.

[@drivingsports]

The Pacifica is great.

[@N8TURES]

Will I dont live in the snow/crazy hills so AWD no need Chrysler Pacifica for the win

[@brianmartin3920]

I would like to have seen the adaptive cruise control work. It's not even listed as a feature on the Chrysler website.

[@brianmartin3920]

Actually, it is, but it's not clear which models/trims have it. And, they claim it works down to 0 mph.

[@Ashkoren]

I was also looking at it from a campervan perspective! With electrical energy already stored in the car Thank you for that

[@calcml2005]

Honda Odyssey does not have AWD

[@MrKillerRC]

The Sienna has AWD. Not the Odyssey.

[@La-yt1wr]

I can understand why you didn’t mention the Dodge Grand Caravan due to its age but you definitely forgot about the Kia Sedona it’s a nice minivan especially in sxl trim

[@drivingsports]

The vans mentioned were the top three in the class.

[@ericpham9106]

We can use air water pressurized hydraulic electric generator that we need no refueling and drive forever without gas if gas run out.

[@peterscott2662]

Nice blue. Surprised this PHEV Van doesn't get more buzz. Every review says it's really good.

[@jmsmikey]

How long does the battery last in mixed driving in hybrid mode? Thank you~

[@robertduklus6555]

I like this van but owning Chrysler especially this complex past warranty period is a huge gamble

[@deadlyapollo]

The Pacificas put together in Canada instead of Detroit so at least the workers are semi intelligent and put pride in their work. Jokes aside, the Pacifica is not the problem child of FCA, it's American made models such as Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Charger/Challenger. The other niggle was the Fiat 500L.

[@robertduklus6555]

@@deadlyapollo charger and challenger are also made in canada

[@DavidElCid300]

If your speed is in the 35mph zone, you need to be alert for traffic lights, pedestrians, etc.. It makes sense that the system doesn't work at 35mph.

[@underdog8896]

I probably would choose the pacifica non hybrid to live in. Stow n go is awesome

[@DavidElCid300]

Think about this. It's hot or cold outside so you'd need to run the engine all night. You'd be burning gas. But with the electric, you could run quietly all night and not spend a dime on gas.

[@TriPham-xd9wk]

Why not goes for fuel less solution so that we are not paying for Saudi King life styles

[@tommywong3147]

Snow tires is all u need. All wheel drive is pain on the ass on maintenance

[@tommywong3147]

I feel that pacifica is smoother than the the other competitors.

[@ay1399]

What about Kia Sedona , it is not in your list .. your feed back appreciated

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

Used price?

[@TheKagedd]

Man, I remember when minivans were awesome and a status symbol (early-mid 90s)

[@ScaryGamesInMyHeart]

Yes, and now they’re more a symbol of defeat. ;) But I still love mine.

[@sangaman]

Thanks for the great review! Do you recall how many miles you got from a full battery before the engine kicked in? Was the 32 mile battery range accurate in your experience?

[@palecompass3598]

I have a plug-in hybrid, and the range actually depends on the season and how you use it. Ours is more efficient in summer.

[@jeffinkhobar5711]

Excellent video and great delivery skills! Hoping to find similar reviews of the other minivans.

[@bostonmordechai3297]

I realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online ?

[@sampinoboy84]

AWD Odyssey does not exists...

[@EliRuedaVega]

@6:47 there is a bug on the seat!

[@talonleevon7929]

I'm wanting more ground clearance...SUVs and crossovers are meh...I love mpgs. I would hate fill ups $100 rich or poor.

[@drivingsports]

Unfortunately, more ground clearance can negatively impact economy.

[@deadlyapollo]

Fillups are $35 for nonhybrid models

[@johnerickennedy]

Kia Sedona ?

[@YogeshMathur]

Need a Honda Odyssey review from you 😊

[@confettihunterminus1]

He has one

[@lucasahammed5130]

Tesla Minivan

[@palecompass3598]

Still waiting...

[@ericpham9106]

We should install WiFi router in all cars to improve telecommunication extension to rural area

[@confettihunterminus1]

Wait the honda odyssey has awd?

[@confettihunterminus1]

No I’m 98% sure it doesn’t 🤔

[@drivingsports]

No, it doesn’t. Just got out of the Sienna and the Pilot and miss-spoke there.

[@confettihunterminus1]

Driving Sports TV No worries easy to get mixed up! You’ve got some of the best reviews in youtube so no complaints from me!

[@confettihunterminus1]

Driving Sports TV That being said I’m super excited to see the AWD pacifica review from you when it comes out!!

[@fortunatedad7695]

I'm just curious as to why people even consider the chrysler when the Honda has proven reliability and better resale value. I mean stow and go is sweet but not enough for me to sway me from Honda, Toyota or even kia is making a name too. They are both nice looking vehicles, priced the same then why buy something proven to have alot more issues after the warranty runs out? Here in Canada Honda and Toyota dominate the mini van market.
