Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna
When the Chrysler Pacifica debuted in 2017, it changed the way that people view minivans. This innovative automobile demonstrates what’s achievable when exceptional design meets superior engineering. Thus, competitors like the Toyota Sienna have an almost impossibly high standard to meet.
Storage
The Chrysler Pacifica model’s exceptional utility comes to the fore in the storage category. Visit Twin Lakes Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM and we’ll show you this minivan’s many innovative features, including its power-folding third-row seat and its class-exclusive second-row Stow ‘n Go seats. The Chrysler Pacifica also offers a variety of small storage spaces in the form of pockets, cupholders, and cubbies. As for the Toyota Sienna, it’s serviceable in terms of raw small- and midsize item storage. However, unlike the Chrysler Pacifica, its second-row seats aren’t removable. This is a big shortcoming that significantly reduces maximum cargo capacity.
Technology
The Chrysler brand’s Uconnect infotainment system is one of the auto industry’s finest, and it’s a focal point in the Chrysler Pacifica. Climb into the cockpit of this new Chrysler minivan and see how easy it is to interact with the system’s large touchscreen and variety of features, including Amazon Alexa® and wireless connectivity for Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. Also available are a rear-seat entertainment system and multiple USB ports. Meanwhile, the Toyota Sienna is respectably equipped, but it doesn’t offer Amazon Alexa® or wireless connectivity. Moreover, its overall infotainment interface isn’t as sleek and polished as the Chrysler Pacifica model’s.
Comfort
Both the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna offer comfortable seating across all three rows. Also, both vehicles integrate quality climate control systems as well as available heated/ventilated seat upgrades. However, the Chrysler Pacifica has a big advantage when it comes to road and engine noise, which is a big factor when deciding between a Toyota loan or Chrysler financing. Whereas the Chrysler Pacifica accelerates smoothly and quietly thanks to its nine-speed automatic transmission, the Toyota Sienna model’s continuously variable transmission (CVT) and its four-cylinder engine create a noticeably noisy cabin as speed increases.
