The 2023 Honda Odyssey and the 2023 Toyota Sienna are great options for your family with seating for up to eight passengers. When you have a full cabin, though, your little ones may prefer the 163.6 cubic feet of passenger space the Odyssey provides over the 162.5 cubic feet of room in the Sienna.

Does one cubic foot really make a difference? You bet it does! Let’s see just how much more wiggle room you’ll have in the Honda Odyssey:

It’s a superpower that every parent possesses, and the Honda Odyssey will make it even easier with the available CabinWatch® Rear Seat Monitor, which displays a live video feed of the back seats right on the infotainment screen. It also works with the CabinTalk® in-car PA system, which makes it easier to hear everyone throughout the vehicle.

Both models come equipped with a bevy of standard systems thanks to Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0. They have several similar features such as:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Traffic Sign Recognition System

A Blind Spot Information System is also standard with both models. It will alert you when a vehicle is riding alongside you, so you can change lanes with ease. It works with a Cross Traffic Monitor in both minivans, which ensures the coast is clear before backing out of a tight spot.

The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure is only used in the construction of the Honda Odyssey. It’s specifically designed with front crumple zones that absorb and redirect collision energy away from the passenger cabin to better protect you and your loved ones in the event of a collision.

The Sienna is powered by a 2.5L engine, which delivers up to 245 horsepower. It also works with an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission for sleek gear changes and impressive acceleration.

If you really want to take the performance of your family’s roadster to the next level, though, opt for the Odyssey. Its standard 3.5L V6 engine provides a potent 280 horsepower. This added output adds just a bit more pep to every drive!

If you want to spend more time behind the wheel and less at the pump, the Honda Odyssey can help coach your driving habits to optimize efficiency with its Eco Assist™ System. When active, the display will glow white or blue to indicate less-efficient driving. Once you make the necessary adjustments, the display will glow green to indicate optimal conditions.
