The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica and 2020 Toyota Sienna are two popular minivan options in Langley, BC. One of the primary advantages of family-oriented vehicles is their flexibility. You can accommodate seven or eight passengers and also remove seats to increase the cargo capacity. One way to differentiate these autos is to compare the ease with which you can alter the interior layout by folding or removing chairs. For this comparison, we will look at the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica LX and the 2020 Toyota Sienna CE 7-Passenger.
