The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited and the 2021 Kia Sedona EX boast V6 engines and three rows of seats. Though both have practicality and a fair amount of power, only one offers a fun-to-drive appeal that is rare in the minivan market.Here is how the Chrysler Pacifica and Kia Sedona compare when you get behind the wheel.Â

The Pacifica brings more power to the road than the Sedona. However, it is its handling that helps it stand out in its class. It features a unibody structure and a single unit frame, both of which provide the feel and responsiveness of a smaller vehicle.
The suspension system relies on MacPherson struts in the front and independent coils in the back. These elements come into play on corners and curves. The electric power steering enhances the level of control that you feel, while the 17-inch machined aluminum wheels and 235/65R17 BSW all-season tires pair perfectly with the other drivetrain features.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD and Kia Sedona EX are capable family vans with an array of practical features. However, only one offers all-wheel drive and car-like handling. Here is a closer look at how the Pacifica and Sedona perform on the open road.Â
Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD
Engine: 3.6L V6
Drivetrain: AWD
Horsepower: 287 hp
Torque: 287 lb-ft
Transmission: 9-speed automatic
Kia Sedona EX
Engine: 3.5L V6
Drivetrain: FWD
Horsepower: 248 hp
Torque: 276 lb-ft
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited has more power than the Sedona, and it also boasts an AWD system (which is rare for a minivan). This smart drivetrain saves gas by operating in FWD mode until it senses the need to engage all tires.Â
The AWDÂ then kicks in when temperatures dip below 4 degrees or if the road enters a sharp incline or decline. The Pacifica optimises stability by transferring power to the rear axle or whichever wheels need the most traction at the time. The system also minimizes oversteer while maximizing grip on sand, gravel, or mud.Â
If you want the practicality of a minivan and the drivetrain of an SUV, Â the Chrysler Pacifica AWD is the best choice for you. Contact our Langley, BC dealership to schedule a test drive today.
