One of the first things you need from a new minivan is plenty of cabin space so more people can come along for road trips or business trips. That’s why the Odyssey takes the lead over the Sienna with more passenger room to get comfortable as well as more storage space so that nothing is ever left behind. The Sienna leads in fuel efficiency and price, but the Odyssey’s configurable cabin is a strong selling point.

Comparison Review
- Comfort
The Honda Odyssey offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota Sienna, with comparable head- and legroom. The Toyota Sienna offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Odyssey, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
- Convenience
The Toyota Sienna requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda Odyssey, making it more convenient to drive.
- Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Odyssey will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Sienna.
- Dimensions
The Honda Odyssey is about the same width as the Toyota Sienna. When looking at overall length, the Honda Odyssey takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Sienna.
- Handling
The Honda Odyssey has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Sienna, allowing you to more easily manoeuvre in and out of tight spots.
- Performance
The Honda Odyssey has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Sienna.
- The 2024 Toyota Sienna has more USB ports throughout the cabin, a larger touchscreen in the centre stack, and a more efficient powertrain under the hood. And while no Odyssey has heated captain’s chairs or a head-up display, certain Siennas do.
- Then again, Honda provides a bird’s-eye-view camera system as standard fare, whereas Toyota reserves it for its top trim. And though both vans offer a fold-down screen to keep the kids entertained and an intercom so the driver can talk to people in the back without turning around, only the Odyssey has available rear-seat video monitoring. Honda calls it Cabin Watch.
In conclusion,
Both the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna from the 1st and 2nd generations are popular choices for families and individuals looking for reliable minivans.
