Compare the 2019 Honda Odyssey vs 2018 Toyota Sienna

Serving Capitol Heights, MD, Washington, D.C., and Arlington, VA

In the eyes of many people, a minivan is still the ideal vehicle for big families. The redesigned 2018 Honda Odyssey has improved in several key areas. Not only does the new Odyssey pack more power under the hood, but it also benefits from a more flexible interior design. You can also take advantage of the Odyssey’s exciting new features. The 2018 Toyota Sienna also proves to be a worthy choice. Let’s find out which one of these minivans brings more to the table.

Performance

2019 Odyssey Engine Specs:

• • 280 horsepower
• • 262 lb-ft. of torque
• • Redline: 6800 rpm
• • Fuel Tank Capacity: 19.5 gal

Like the 2018 Honda Odyssey, the 2018 Toyota Sienna comes equipped with a potent V6 engine. While the Toyota Sienna may feel just as strong as the Honda Odyssey, it can’t match the Odyssey’s precise driving dynamics. The 2018 Honda Odyssey inspires every driver with a great deal of confidence. Its quick steering and balanced handling promise to leave you impressed. According to Edmunds, the Sienna is not nearly as stable on curvy roads. Numb steering also takes away from the Toyota Sienna’s driving experience.

Interior

2019 Odyssey Key Interior Features:

• • Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
• • 8-Inch Display Audio with High-Resolution (720P) Electrostatic Touch-Screen and Customizable Feature Settings
• • Apple CarPlay™ Integration
• • Advanced Rear Entertainment System with 10.2" High-Resolution WSVGA (1024x600) Screen, Blu-Ray™
• • Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System® with Voice Recognition

Honda’s exclusive Magic Slide second-row seats give the Odyssey a big advantage. They ensure clear access to the third row and make it easier for parents to reach their young children. Furthermore, only the Odyssey comes standard with stain-resistant upholstery. The Toyota Sienna can’t match the Odyssey’s list of premium features. An available Wi-Fi hot spot makes the Odyssey especially great for taking road trips. Meanwhile, Honda’s exclusive CabinWatch feature enables parents to keep an eye on their kids. Toyota’s infotainment system also fails to provide Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Safety

2019 Odyssey Safety Features:

• • Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control
• • Multi-Angle Rearview Camerawith Guidelines
• • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• • Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

When traveling with your family aboard, safety is especially important. You can definitely count on the 2018 Honda Odyssey to provide a high level of protection. When behind the wheel of the new Odyssey, you’ll enjoy an extra peace of mind. Both of these minivans offer advanced driving aids like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. However, drivers can take more advantage of the Odyssey’s available Honda Sensing safety package. It’s designed to heighten your level of awareness on the road. While blind-spot monitoring allows you to switch lanes with greater confidence, forward collision mitigation can automatically activate your brakes during emergency situations. Adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist are also included in the package.

A smoother performance on the road and a more impressive list of family-friendly features give the 2018 Honda Odyssey the victory. To experience the new Odyssey for yourself, contact your local Honda dealer at Pohanka Honda of Capitol Heights to schedule a test drive.
