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.
