2026 Chrysler Pacifica vs. 2026 Toyota Sienna

Summerville families should never have to settle when searching for their next minivan. After all, parents want a vehicle that can handle busy family life, while keeping the whole crew comfortable from their driveway to the next destination and beyond.

No matter what the day brings, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica for sale is ready to rise to the occasion, offering superior comfort, exceptional space and versatility, and powerful performance to see you through every family adventure.

As you search for the best minivan for your family, you may be wondering how the Chrysler Pacifica minivan compares to other minivans on the market. We’ll take a look at the Toyota Sienna minivan and see how it measures up to the Pacifica, helping you make an informed decision on your next family ride.

Power, Efficiency & Everyday Confidence

With after-school activities, everyday errands, summer road trips, and more to juggle, you need a vehicle that can keep up, providing the power and capability to get you and your crew to your next destination.

The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica starts off strong in the performance category. Equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that’s matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission, this minivan boasts 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.

And while the Pacifica comes with standard front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is available, providing enhanced performance in a variety of driving scenarios.

Chrysler Pacifica gas mileage is solid, too. This minivan is designed with a 19-gallon fuel tank, and you can expect to get an EPA-estimated 19/28/22 Chrysler Pacifica MPG (city/highway/combined)¹ with front-wheel-drive models. MPG is the same for the Select AWD trim level, but the Limited and Pinnacle AWD models give you an EPA-estimated 17/25/20 MPG (city/highway/combined).¹

So how does Toyota Sienna MPG and performance compare?

The Toyota Sienna minivan is equipped with a hybrid powertrain, including a 2.5-liter engine and an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). This minivan delivers 245 net combined horsepower, lagging behind the Chrysler Pacifica.

All-wheel drive is also an available option for the Sienna, and when it comes to fuel efficiency, this minivan pulls ahead as a hybrid, offering an EPA-estimated 36/36/36 MPG (city/highway/combined)² with FWD models and an EPA-estimated 35/36/35 MPG (city/highway/combined)² with AWD models.

Both minivans offer towing capability as well, adding even more convenience and utility to your family adventures. And once again, the Chrysler Pacifica takes the lead, offering a 3,600-pound maximum towing capacity, when properly equipped. The Toyota Sienna towing capacity is a maximum of 3,500 pounds, when properly equipped.

Cabin Space, Family Comfort & Smart Technology

Both the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica interior and the 2026 Toyota Sienna interior cater to the comfort and convenience of the whole family, but which one truly stands out?

Right off the bat, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica has the edge in flexibility with its innovative Class-Exclusive available Stow ’n Go® Seating and Storage System.³ This system allows you to seamlessly configure the cabin to accommodate your needs by folding the second- and third-row seats right into the floor, providing even more cargo space on days when you need it. In fact, with all of the rear seats folded, you’ll have access to up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Imagine the possibilities!

While still adaptable, the cabin of the Toyota Sienna only offers a 60/40 One-Motion-Stow Split & Stow 3rd Row® seat and up to 101 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the first-row seats. It does, however, offer available super-long-slide second-row captain’s chairs with ottomans for extra comfort.

Both the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna offer the option of eight passenger seating. The Pacifica offers available eight-passenger seating only on the base trim level, with a removable seat that fits in the middle of the second-row seats. Eight-passenger seating comes standard in the base trim level of the Sienna, which features a second-row bench with a stowable center seat.

Both minivans offer luxurious upgrades, but only the Chrysler Pacifica offers standard heated front seats and a standard heated steering wheel, starting with the base trim level, you can only get these features in higher trim levels in the Sienna lineup. Ventilated front seats are available in both lineups for extra comfort.

Convenience in both minivans continues with features like an available vacuum for simplified clean-up. The Sienna even offers an available FridgeBox™ to keep snacks or drinks chilled.

A moonroof always adds a nice touch to the cabin of any vehicle, but while the Toyota Sienna offers an available power tilt/slide moonroof with a sunshade, the Chrysler Pacifica goes the extra mile with an available dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

When it comes to technology, both minivans offer a fair share of features.

The new Chrysler Pacifica comes with a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen display in all trim levels, while the Toyota Sienna comes with a standard 8-inch touchscreen and offers an available 12.3-inch touchscreen.

Keeping an eye on the kids in the backseat is easy when you have access to the Chrysler Pacifica’s available FamCam™ interior camera, a feature you won’t find in the Toyota Sienna.

And when it comes to sound systems, the Chrysler Pacifica once again has the edge. It offers a six-speaker system in the base trim level, a 13-speaker Alpine® Premium Audio System in the middle trim level, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System in the top trim level. The Toyota Sienna, in comparison, comes standard with eight speakers and offers 12 available JBL® speakers.

In the Pacifica, keeping the family entertained is a breeze when you have available 10.1-inch high-definition video touchscreens for backseat passengers to enjoy. The Toyota Sienna offers the available HD Entertainment Center, which has one 11.6-inch display.

Advanced Safety Features for Everyone’s Protection

Neither the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica or the 2026 Toyota Sienna would be a true minivan without safety features that offer protection for families on the go. Both are packed with a variety of advanced safety features that give parents some extra, much-needed peace of mind.

Chrysler Pacifica Price vs. Toyota Sienna Price per Trim Level

Price is often a major factor in choosing a vehicle, so let’s see how the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna pricing compares for each trim level.

Although the starting MSRP of the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica’s base trim level is higher than the starting MSRP of the 2026 Toyota Sienna’s base trim level, the Pacifica has half the amount of trim levels that the Sienna has, and its top trim level starts at a lower MSRP than the top trim level of the Sienna.

Plus, when you compare the top trim level of the Pacifica with the top trim level of the Sienna, the Pacifica Pinnacle comes with extra upgrades that the Sienna Platinum misses out on, such as standard 10.1-inch high-definition video touchscreens for backseat passengers and a standard 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System. While the Sienna Platinum does offer an available HD Entertainment Center with an 11.6-inch display, you’d have to pay extra for it.

And when it comes to performance, the Pacifica offers more power, while the Sienna offers greater fuel efficiency. At the end of the day, the right minivan will look different for every family, and a test drive can provide even greater clarity about which minivan is best for your crew.
