2022 Honda Odyssey review // Sienna, Pacifica, Carnival or this?

[@fiddlefaddle4244]

I have two Honda Odysseys and a Honda Fit. Once, you driven a van and benefited from all of it's driving versatility, practicality and room it's hard to going back to a car. I have had every kind of vehicle that you can imagine in my lifetime. I am retired and will continue to have a van for the rest of my life!

[@manaaalsuwaidi3643]

i have just started my family and now with 3 kids, it's kinda hard to continue with SUVs or large Pickup trucks, so I guess I'm going with this Honda, your words inspires me!

[@georgiaguardian4696]

Mini vans are upgrades from SUVs once one starts to like the look and especially the practicality and space.

[@silieale]

I’m not even shopping for a car anymore but still love watching these videos to keep up to date with what’s new. Best vehicle reviews on KZbin!

[@andreaspencer9813]

[@Motormouth...]

I have driven an Odyssey for 13 years and have lived in Edmonton and Halifax. We have seen some brutal winters. Front wheel drive has always been enough with winter tires.

[@randyprice1831]

My Wife and I have had a mini van (Honda and Toyota) since the kids were small. The "kids" have graduated college and she still likes her van. While not sporty they are SO practical !!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Very practical and comfortable!

[@manaaalsuwaidi3643]

my kids are just starting to crawl, i guess I'm long way behind you! i always love hearing opinions from older people!

[@nephrodoc4120]

Odyssey is the way to go, it’s proven reliability. It drives great with that 10 speed and that refined V6. The suspension and steering are better than any other van or crossover we test drove. We have an ‘18 Elite and and not a squeak or rattle in the years we’ve had it.

[@Gman450a1]

They've come a long way since my 2001 Dodge Caravan (reg length and not the "Grand") We bought that for $19,999. I can't imagine trying to afford one of these as a young family today. I agree that nothing beats a minivan for families especially with pets too. Thanks for the review!

[@JohnLassen-y4t]

19,999 in 2001 is about $37,000 adjusted for inflation which is inline with what a base minivan is today. A Carnival can be had for even less.

[@pinoconte]

No matter what car you guys review, really enjoy watching!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much!

[@brianb7844]

We own a Pacifica and wouldn’t choose any other. We use the van specifically to carry our dogs. Stow n go is great, relatively flat floor makes carrying crate easy. Sienna is a big no with the inability to remove the middle seats. The Honda is ok, but removing the big seats and the floor is just not flat enough. Carnival would work but you can’t get the top trim with removable seats.

[@GlennLaycock]

Chrysler just has that understanding with the idea of it being a people mover and truck/SUV cargo hauler .. the "do all vehicle". Like everyone is saying ... the inexpensive Dodge van is no longer; sure they needed that longer warranty (or TSB allowed for good discounting on repairs) back then and were not designed to be cool (but gosh lots of kids ponder them as a first vehicle .. especially when cargo ones were around and a low price). At least they have the Grand Caravan variant in Canada; helps a tad on pricing for the original target market .. families with no money that needed high utility.

[@Annwutsfar]

Agreed. I currenlty own a Honda and my next purchase will likely be the pacifica because it's simply better. Honda relies too much on their brand name to sell (and it works) but I rented a Pacifica for a week and was sold! The Odyssey would be a downgrade imo

[@greensfarmland]

We own a 2007 Honda Odyssey, and we love it... We use it as a plant wagon for our nursery, so center and rear seats are pulled, and a bit worn from plants moving and out. So we have been wanting to buy a new one just for travel, and for running around. simply because they are so comfortable to drive. Thanks for the video.

[@kellingtonlink956]

I like Hondas. They make an amazing compact car. I absolutely loved owning a minivan (kids, garage sales, Home Depot, cottaging…) and renting for long trips! But I’ve never been a fan of the Honda Odyssey. I’m not sure why. I believe, Andrea is spot on… I think the KIA’s pricing and interior makes it a clear winner. That is if you want a minivan. Thanks for the video.

[@andreaspencer9813]

It's really hard to beat the Kia Carnival for its price point and features. Thanks for watching!

[@mikeymyke]

The thing that really bugs me about the Honda and Toyota vans is that after many years of development, they still can't make the seats fold down into the floor like the Chrysler and Dodge vans. This is such a convenient feature, and is one of the reasons the Caravan is the #1 selling van even though the Honda and Toyota ones are technically the "better overall" vans.

[@oralpowers7932]

The longer wheel base makes for a smoother ride. The height of the cabin is great for a take-out windows or a bank ATM's. If your not really a camper you can haul your bike in the back and if you want to sleep in the back it's warmer and quieter than tenting. Any type of construction, you can haul stuff to the dump, ladders, paint, 7 passengers or 1000 kg. The sliding side doors are essential for a quick pickup of the crew. Just remember at night to put the liftgate down before driving into the garage.

[@Allan_A]

We had a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L with 172K miles and zero issues before an accident. My wife doesn't like minivans, so now we have a 2018 Traverse, which is a minivan with large swinging doors for the kiddos 🤷‍♂️

[@richardharker2775]

I'm a practical family guy and mini vans make a lot of sense. Good for keeping everything in your vehicle for safety. A cycling adventure, road trip , fishing and you could use it as a private taxi getting people or families to and from the airport to regain some of the cost. Win, win, win.

[@msmoniz]

As someone who just bought a minivan 2 years ago( a year old 2019 Sienna literally the week before Covid shut everything down) yeah we bought one not cause we wanted want, but because we needed one with our 3 growing kids. Wife wanted a 3 row SUV but I told here it made no sense to pay more for less interior space and worse gas mileage, just to avoid the minivan stigma. I told her, it's like buying a fridge or other major appliance; you buy it cause you need it, not because you want it! I'm with Zack on this one; get a base model or better yet, get one just off lease like I did and save $10,000 vs new and you'll still get 98% of it's life! Let someone else eat the depreciation on s grudge purchase like a minivan, which is gonna get heavy use and beaten up!

[@jazzjokesjalopies]

Even reviewing a minivan, you are worth watching, guys. Thanks!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks a lot, we appreciate the kind words.

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

We have a ‘22 Odyssey Elite, going on a year old and 10,000mi, without issue. We traded in our ‘11 Sienna XLE for it. The Odyssey drives and rides like a luxury car compared to our old Sienna, although the Sienna had more interior volume. We can still fit our family of five and 70lb dog; recently traveled 1K mi to FL and back home, averaged 29mpg on the highway. Couldn’t be more satisfied with how it performed. While shopping for our Odyssey my wife refused to cross-shop the Pacifica, to my dismay. One of the key decision points for us though was the fact that you get seating for eight in the top trim model, which no other van on the market has. We often take family and friends along, so it really is nice to have seating for eight. We come from a family of Honda-lovers. Not that the other options are bad, we just prefer Hondas. I believe the true left-brain choice is the Sienna with AWD, if you don’t plan to tow anything.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

Similar experience for my family!

[@kawerkamp]

I have lived in heavy snow country for many years with an Odyssey. Snow tires make a BIG difference. Although I would love to see an AWD come out, I like so much about the Odyssey, that I am now buying our third one (and will put on snow tires for the winter).

[@hoser7706]

Some do buy them for handling. That mellow, easy handling that makes you think you are on a vacation road trip, chill and relaxed every single day. Lol

[@jimjernigan7874]

Golfing with a guy I didn’t know, he is a Chrysler service manager, asked him about Pacifica, he said let me put it this way, my mom bought one without asking me, I said good , I will be seeing a lot more of you. He was not a fan

[@A3A4Tom]

I always love Honda. I am currently own 2 previous generation Civic and they are brilliant cars. Even with HondaLink's issues with the Odyssey, it remains the one to beat in this ever diminishing segment. But Carnival has it beaten when it comes to exterior styling, interior ambience and infotainment's user friendliness. Sienna has a very efficient, if sluggish hybrid powertrain. I have driven JDM Odyssey with Honda's hybrid powertrain, its peppy given its narrower dimensions. If Honda wants the next USDM Odyssey to have a hybrid to compete with Sienna and Pacifica, it better be a V6 hybrid that focus on performance. Just like the Accord hybrid V6 from more a decade ago. As usual, thanks for another great review. I got caught by a surprise when a review uploads on Monday.

[@dean757]

Nice review. I got a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country 7yrs ago. I got 72k totally trouble free miles. Had to change EVAP canister but thats it thus far at 98k. Been looking at a huge variety of vehicles. It IS hard to accept the mediocre space and use of space of a suv once you've owned a minivan with stow and go.

With the prices of new vans, it might be worth inverting in the old girl to keep it going!

[@thermos750]

Thanks for doing these videos! I am driving a 2012 Kia Sedona coming up to the 300'000 km mark in the next year. Debating on what to get used, I am liking the looks of the Kia Carnival and what they did with it! Very well done Kia! Your videos show some great aspects of each vehicle. I only caught at the end, from some of your videos, that you did not talk about "towing". This video you did and I was right away with my ears perked up! I would love to see some video of these vans towing there max capacity of either a camping trailer/sled/boat or utility trailer and see how they handle in the city and country roads in the winter and summer IE loading and unloading the toys at at boat ramp for example. With Kia making the move away from the MINI VAN look, people are going to change to these vehicles as the cargo space in a MPV is so much more greater then in a SUV. I love the van idea, for the amount of times I have had 6 people in there and it loaded, I was not concerned about the space. I have towed lot's of times with my current Sedona van, boat and sled trailer and it works well only then on the 401 the 10' wide trailer drags a bit as expected with the front guard to protect the sled. The $$ price for me will be 90% of my next purchase used or new...having a vehicle payment sucks at any time!

[@DigitalYojimbo]

Build quality has gone down hill for Hondas.

[@dustinj7650]

your review was the only one I found on-line that accurately indicates the passenger seat in the touring model only has 4-way adjustment (same issue with 2023 model). Honda advertises it as 8-way though (possibly they include the power lumbar adjustment in that number). Its even more confusing because they advertise the 12-way power driver seat as 8-way (the driver seat does have 8-way power plus 4-way lumbar)...so this is confusing to consumers, and your review was accurate on this finer detail - thank you for that!

[@carrera2320]

1- SIENNA 2-ODDYSEY 3-PACIFICA FUEL ECONOMY SONS

[@perceptivepixel]

I’m a Honda fan and have had 5 now. I echo the comments that quality has degraded over the years. Recently I had a 2018 CR-V and now a couple current gen Odyssey’s. As much as I would like to, it’s not an easy recommendation for the Odyssey in its current form. The first, new from the factory, had a significant number of defects ranging from cubbies that wouldn’t close, misaligned body panels and doors, and more major finish issues (cracked seals on both passenger and driver doors, paint chips, paint bubbles, metal showing through the paint and clear coated). The 2022 was better but some of the fit and finish issues continue to exist in addition to proximity keys not always working, high rate of distortion in passenger side mirrors and now a year in, the sunroof seems to be having trouble closing and one of the power window regulators have been replaced. Fit and finish appears to be better on the 2020’s. As a Honda fan, I’m disappointed in my experience with the product(s) as of late. On the other hand, the power train and handling is really good for a van (it’s surprisingly quick!), the seats are comfortable, and the utility factor is great (I’ve had those middle seats out more times than I can count). Perhaps the Odyssey is a good choice for specific reasons but maybe the other options are better all rounders.

[@Annwutsfar]

I went shopping for minivan yesterday. Honda was cheapest, then Toyota/Pacifica tied and then get this...Kia Carnical was the MOST expensive. Kia dealerships are marking up the price 25% due to demand! "market adjustment" they called it. Crazy.

[@khaledabdelwahab9455]

A minivan for me is good for long trips and not really for city drive, so I'll pick the odessey because of the V6 and 10 speed auto transmission!! Great review as usual thanks :) if I wanna save on gas I would go with a Highlander hybrid not a minivan.

I love mini van. I had 2 Chevy Astro vans. I love the convenient of getting in and out. The amount pf people it can carry. And I appreciate more when I'm homeless. Most people find them boring but I love mini vans. I'm looking for a Toyota Sienna SE with reasonable price in the used market. I can't find one within my price range.

[@Blank00]

The Sienna is the worst minivan. The unremovability of the 2nd row defeats the purpose of a minivan. If you like Toyota reliability, you may as well get a highlander, just as practical than the new Sienna despite less exterior footprint. Kia learned from their previous Sedona that they're better off making the 2nd row removable for the new Carnival.

[@JeffWinter1]

Agreed, Minivan's prices are out of control. Would definitely go with the Carnival, not only for the price but also the forward styling. Oddesy exterior hasn't changed much in a decade, not to mention their older transmission failures.

[@Tom-ej8bb]

This was our year to choose a new vehicle. Our Silverado lease was up in September. We wanted to downsize and all things were on the table. Sienna was going to be our choice due to needing AWD in Northern Michigan and any vehicle was going to get winter rated tires. Odyssey would have been #2 cause it's an awesome interior and along with Toyota dependability. With that said the other vans were not even in consideration! Had 2 Chryslers years ago and no thanks!! Well We ended up with a CRV! Genthe Honda sold at MSRP. Wanted the Rav4 but Suburban Toyota and Page Toyota were 2k over MSRP, CYA TOYOTA!!

[@Motormouth...]

We haven't heard anything from Honda about the 2023 model unfortunately. Glad our review was helpful - Andrea

[@LamNguyen-sr1sy]

Odyssey 2023 will be a carry-over from 2022, no changes at all. I was debating hard between Odyssey and Sienna because I've owned Honda/Acura in the past 18 years. Sienna has too many features that Odyssey doesn't offer - Hybrid, AWD, heated captain chairs with ottoman, digital rea mirror, foot-kick slide door opener, 4-zone climate control, bird-view 360 camera. The only advantages of Odyssey 2023 are: rear entertainment system can play DVD, side-to-side captain chair sliding, and Honda has a much shorter wait-time than Toyota. Crossing fingers that my Sienna will arrive in 10 months :)

With regards to current fuel prices plus proven reliability - ill pick sienna . Has its own issues like flimsy cheap plastics - its not well thought out design unlike odyssey and pacifica . But thing will outlast odyssey and specially pacifica . And yeah has a great mpg as well due to hybrid system.

[@scottw9771]

I'm surprised that many reviews I've seen of the Sienna do not mention that the middle row seats are not removable, which really reduces total cargo space when you need it. When we moved my son to college the Sienna would not of come close to fitting all his stuff, our Odyssey had no issues holding everything. If you ever need to remove the middle seats the Sienna is a no go.

Not a fan of the looks of this vehicle. The second row seats are too close to the floor. No height adjustment on the passenger seat is a no go. All minivans should be available with AWD. Toyota and Kia Sears are the most comfortable all the way around. Minivans are the way to go if you’re looking for a people hauler. List SUVs are not people haulers. They’re just tall cars. I’d also lie to see some performance trim vans. If we can have performance Pickup trucks and SUVs we can have performance vans.

Kia is great value but we found that all of the ones that we owned had many squeeks and creaks and had allo sorts of little glitches like bad radios, ignition interlock problems and sticky sliding doors. Kia service was terrible1 The people are very friendly but push non-essential service, screwed up winter/summer tire replacement twice (put someone elses tires on our vehicles) and a half hour oil change always turned into a 2 hour appointment! Honda also pushed non-essential service but I found them freindly and honest. We also have a Subaru and it is hands down the best vehicle and service. It won’t win a beauty pageant but I am all about practicality so Subi takes the blue ribbon. I would choose a van for after purchase quality and service. I have heard positive things about Toyota so for me it’s H or T. When is the Odyssey going hybrid?

Will Toyota release a plug-in hybrid version of Sienna next year?

[@andreaspencer9813]

Nothing has been confirmed by Toyota.

So what vehicle fills the affordable family hauler/trip to Sam's or junk yard now?

[@angrypenguin956]

Minivan have move up the food chain quite a bit. They are fewer but those that are still available are far from the original concept. Back in the day they were more in the appliances category but now they are luxury hauler that will most likely put a huge dent in you budget…

The market shrinkage has allowed minivan manufacturers to focus more on fancy features, premium interior, and innovative design. In the past, it was all about pricing and reliability because every manufacturer carried a minivan.

Curious to know... if you were to weigh "reliability" a little heavier, would still rank KIA up top for the same reasons? I ask because given the Carnival is a relatively new entry to the market, I really wonder how long it would last without any future headaches. Everything about it sounds so attractive. Sienna & Odyssey both seems to have great reliability, but the space and things like ground clearance would be important (to me). I had the Odyssey, but the ground clearance often scared me (even for urban driving) ie. speedbumps, hill inclines, backing up from hill inclines & declines etc.

I hope next gen will be offered in plug in Hybrid version and be sold in EU.

The Kia's dash is nice I guess-but I just don't trust instrumentation that are just pictures of instrumentation. I must go for the Honda. I like a little performance in my vehicles like Drea

[@andreaspencer9813]

We are getting the Passport towards the end of March to drive, looking forward to it!

[@physicianslounge4457]

You guys rock .. excellent, excellent and EXCELLENT! Stay blessed!

[@scaccima]

You kept referring to the Odyssey as the base model when in fact you were driving the Touring version.

[@peteherrera1502]

what about maintenance cycles and cost?

[@regwilson7652]

does the Odyssey in Canada have the 3rd row seats that can turn back wards to sit on?

[@ricric8348]

Isn't the 2023 odyssey due soon? 22 has been out more than a year....hybrid coming?

[@new_nonsense]

With the current gas prices there is no other minivan in the market to beat the Siennas gas mileage.

[@LamNguyen-sr1sy]

You're right. Sienna AWD is much more efficient than traditional FWD van. If you're looking for a minivan, it's hard to look pass the Sienna at the moment.

[@markkennedy5335]

Love the interior. Not a fan of the gloss black consoles Hyundai/Kia are using. Please show how well those work with gloves on.

[@AdmiralCecil]

Is the vacuum still included?

[@7797795]

I prefer the reliability, the mpg and the ease of recharging the Toyota Sienna. Handles better than the hybrid Highlander. Comes with AWD. DID i mention the reliability? Worth repeating.

[@Peigirl1985]

I have a 2016 Honda Odyssey touring we bought it second hand like brand new and only 50,000klo I like the Carnival because it looks like a suv but I wouldn't buy it because Kia is the lower line and not a great name.. Toyota van I wouldn't get because its not peppy as Honda and the Pacifica is dodge need I say more lol. Honda would blow any of them out of the water.
