You've got the basic breakdown - now let's get started on the nitty-gritty details of these two minivans. When it comes to the 2024 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey, which vehicle comes out on top? We're all in for the Orlando Toyota Sienna (obviously) but we're going category by category to give you a fair comparison.
2024 Odyssey vs. Sienna: How does the performance break out?
Let's kick things off by talking about performance. How does the 2024 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey comparison end up in terms of performance? Here are the high points to consider.
- Sienna comes in both hybrid and all-wheel drive models - in fact, all Siennas are hybrids. The Odyssey is rumored to be a hybrid starting in 2025, but nothing's guaranteed. Further, the EPA ranked the Sienna higher than the Odyssey in terms of environmental friendliness.
- The Sienna has a 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid drivetrain while the Odyssey offers a V6 drivetrain. You'll get slightly more horsepower in the Odyssey, but the fuel economy can't even come close when compared to the Sienna.
- This Orlando Toyota crushes the competition when it comes to fuel efficiency. The 2024 Toyota Sienna gets 36/36 mpg, while the Honda Odyssey falls way, way short at just 19/28 mpg.
- The Sienna also offers a CVT or continuously variable transmission. This means your engine doesn't have to take "steps" in between gears so it ensures fuel efficiency AND the option of max acceleration. The Odyssey doesn't offer a CVT.
Braking
- This Orlando Toyota has larger front brake rotors for better stopping power and has standard front and rear disc brakes for shorter stops (the Odyssey does not have rear disc brakes - only front.)
- The Toyota Sienna offers larger wheels (20 inches, while the Odyssey maxes out at 19 inches). It also offers lower profile tires on the top model for superior handling, something not found on the Odyssey.
- The Orlando Toyota Sienna has a longer wheelbase, a wider track, and a tighter turning circle than its Honda competition for better handling and maneuverability.
- Sienna offers standard Trailer Sway Control for a better, safer towing experience. Odyssey doesn't have this feature.
Now let's climb inside the cabin.
How does the 2024 Odyssey vs. Sienna stack up when it comes to interiors?
The cabin is every bit as important as the performance when you're looking for a family vehicle. While both cabins do have the capability to seat eight inside, the Sienna and Odyssey do have some notable differences. Here's the breakdown:
- You'll find a bit more space in the Sienna - it has more front and third-row hip room, more rear headroom, more rear shoulder room, and more third-row leg room than the Odyssey.
- While both models offer heated and ventilated front seats, the Sienna also offers heated second-row seats for additional comfort.
Both of these minivans offer features like wireless charging, sliding second-row seats, power dual sliding doors, leather trim, and zoned automatic climate control. You'll also find Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, rear entertainment systems, navigation, and connected services (like WiFi) available in both.
How does safety compare in the 2024 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey?
Safety is paramount in any vehicle, but especially in a family vehicle. While both of these minivans offer a wide variety of safety features and technology, you'll find that Toyota goes above and beyond to give you the peace of mind you deserve. Here's how the 2024 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey compare when it comes to this critical element.
- The Sienna offers height-adjustable seatbelts in the front and middle rows, which is extremely important when children are passengers. The Odyssey only offers this in the front row.
- The Sienna has a standard Secondary Collision Brake. This automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to prevent secondary collisions and more injuries. You won't find this safety tech in the Honda competition.
- You'll also find a standard Parking Support Brake that uses rear sensors to monitor behind your Orlando Toyota and automatically brakes to prevent a collision. This is not an option in the Odyssey.
- You'll find all-wheel drive for better handling up for grabs in the 2024 Toyota Sienna but not the Honda Odyssey.
- The Sienna also has a Panoramic View Monitor that gives you a bird's eye view of your car's surroundings - the Odyssey only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors.
- While both of these minivans have rear cross-traffic alert, the Sienna also offers rear cross-traffic braking to help further prevent a collision.
Both of these options include incredible safety features designed to keep you and your passengers secure, but as you can see, Toyota goes the extra mile. Further, the Sienna ranks higher than the Odyssey in multiple IIHS and NHTSA safety tests.
