Compare the 2018 Honda Odyssey vs. 2018 Toyota Sienna

Serving Capitol Heights, Washington D.C, and Arlington

Having a five-model lineup, the 2018 Honda Odyssey is a minivan that accommodates large families. The 2018 Toyota Sienna is also a spacious minivan that has family-friendly features. When equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and the Intelligent Traction Management, the Odyssey delivers better overall performance than the Sienna. Powered by the Honda Sensing technology, the Odyssey's active safety features give you extra reassurance on the road.

Powertrain

Under the hood, the 2018 Honda Odyssey has a 3.5 L V6 engine that comes with the i-VTEC technology. This six-cylinder engine is rated at 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The Variable Cylinder Management and Eco Assist System optimize efficiency according to driving conditions. Combustion occurs quietly and smoothly thanks to the Active Noise Cancellation. Additionally, the Active Control Engine Mount System manages the powertrain. You can equip the Odyssey with a nine-speed automatic transmission or 10-speed automatic transmission, which both have shift-by-wire technology. Capable of whipping out 296 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque, the Toyota Sienna's 3.5 L V6 engine offers solid performance. This powerful engine is paired with an electronically controlled automatic transmission that only has eight gear speeds. Both of these premium minivans roll on a standard front-wheel drive system. When fitted with the optional All-Wheel Drive with the Active Torque Control, the Sienna leads its class in handling. Similarly, the Odyssey comes with the Intelligent Traction Management, which includes the Snow Mode. Having a dual-pinion design, an electric power-assisted steering system gives you good leverage for handling this Honda minivan.

Utility and Comfort

The driver's seat in the 2018 Honda Odyssey has a 12-way power design and a four-way lumbar support. In the Elite model, the leather-appointed front seats include heating and ventilation with multiple settings. Featuring the Magic Slide technology, the seats in the second rows are optimized for easy entry and exit. With a single motion, the third-row Magic Seats with a 60/40 split design can also be quickly adjusted. To keep all of the vehicle's occupants comfortable, simply turn on the tri-zone automatic climate control system that includes humidity control and air filtration. Sunshades are also installed on the windows in the second and third rows. Integrated into the cargo area, the HondaVac makes it easy to clean up the interior of this spacious minivan. Although it has a tri-zone climate control system and seats with the Split and Stow technology, the Toyota Sienna still can't match the convenience and utility of the Odyssey.

Safety

The Collision Mitigation Braking System can bring the 2018 Honda Odyssey to a stop when a front crash is imminent. Before this autonomous braking technology comes on, you'll have some time to react to the Forward Collision Warning. The Road Departure Mitigation System prevents unintentional drifting out of a marked lane. Other accident-avoidance features in this Honda minivan include the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist System. In the Toyota Sienna, only select trims are available with the Pre-Collision System, Blind Spot Monitor and other accident-mitigation technology. Equipped with the SmartVent air bags in the front cabin, the Odyssey also boasts cutting-edge features in the passive safety category.
