The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey are both capable family vehicles with eight-passenger capacities and a full range of safety features. However, the two differ when it comes to their drivetrains and their abilities to handle different road conditions. 2021 Chrysler Pacifica
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 287
Drive Type: FWD or AWD
2021 Honda Odyssey
Engine: 3.5L V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 280
Drive Type: FWD
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6

Horsepower: 287
Drive Type: FWD or AWD
2021 Honda Odyssey
Engine: 3.5L V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 280
Drive Type: FWD
The Pacifica comes out slightly ahead in terms of horsepower. However, its available AWD system and features such as Engine Start Stop (ESS) make it a more capable and efficient choice when compared to the Honda. An example of this is the towing capacity. Despite their similarly-sized V6s, the Chrysler can haul 1,633 kg, which is 100 kg more than the Odyssey.
You can contact our Calgary dealership and schedule a test drive to experience the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica's capabilities for yourself.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and the 2021 Honda Odyssey are eight-person minivans. While both offer adequate interior room, they differ when it comes to how that space gets organised. Here is a closer look at their seating options: 2021 Chrysler Pacifica

Legroom (Front/Rear): 1044/990 mm
2021 Honda Odyssey
