Model Changes
Honda Canada has done away with the less popular LX and EX trims, meaning the entry-level odyssey is now the EX-RES. This means even the entry-level of the Odyssey is extremely well equipped with a rear entertainment system, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Standard Apple CarPlay / Android Auto power seats and doors, and a remote start.
The 2021 Toyota Sienna has gone away from a v6 engine for a less powerful 4-cylinder which is augmented by electric motors. This improves fuel efficiency but leaves the Sienna lacking in power, particularly with its 176 torque compared to the Odyssey's 262 torque. The Odyssey has a punchier feel that is great for merging in and out of tight traffic or needing to quickly pass on a 1 lane highway.
The Verdict
Unsurprisingly both the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna offer incredible value across the multiple trims that are offered. The downsized engine will undoubtedly change the driving experience of the Sienna with less power and acceleration as a result of the lowered torque. The Sienna has the less expensive entry option while the Odyssey has the less expensive top of the line option. Some features like the Wifi Hotspot are only available on the Honda Odyssey, which gives it an edge for families who rely on this feature. In reality, personal preference and how the vehicle drives will most likely be the deciding factor for which van is best for you and your family.
