The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey are both capable family-friendly vehicles with eight-passenger capacities and a full range of impressive safety features. However, the two models differ when it comes to their drivetrains and their abilities to handle different road conditions, like snow-covered streets and unpaved paths. To see which model may be right for you, check out this comparison review.Â
2021 Â Chrysler Pacifica
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 287
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
Â
2021 Honda Odyssey
Engine: 3.5L V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 280
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
 Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 287
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
Â
2021 Honda Odyssey
Engine: 3.5L V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 280
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
While both models offer comparable torque, the Pacifica does come out slightly ahead in terms of horsepower. However, its available all-wheel drive system and features, such as Engine Start Stop (ESS) technology, make it a more capable and efficient choice when compared to the Honda. An example of this is the towing capacity. Despite their similarly-sized V6 engines, the Chrysler minivan can haul an estimated 1,633 kg, which is 100 kg more than the Odyssey.Â
