2025 Chrysler Pacifica vs 2025 Toyota Sienna
Chrysler invented the minivan back in 1984 and it was an overnight success. Toyota responded with an option of its own in 1990 and these two have been duking it out ever since. Keep reading to see how they stack up!

Performance
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica comes standard with a robust 3.6 liter V6 engine producing an impressive 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque mated to a state-of-the-art 9-speed automatic transmission. Those looking for efficiency can opt for the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid which is good for 29 mpg in the city and 30 mph on the highway.
The 2025 Toyota Sienna is comparatively less versatile, with a single hybrid powertrain available. A 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine is paired with two electric motors for a combined output of 241 horsepower, over 40 horsepower less than the Pacifica.
Safety Features
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica comes standard with an impressive suite of standard safety tech including:
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System
- Lanesense Lane Departure with Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring System
- Parksense Rear Park Assist System
The 2025 Toyota Sienna puts up a good fight in the safety category with a suite of standard safety tech on par with the Pacifica such as:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Radar Guided Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
Interior
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica's cabin is airy and has plenty of storage compartments ensuring there's space for various toys and supplies. The standard 10.1-inch touchscreen clearly displays navigation prompts and radio settings. Use the available built-in vacuum cleaner to capture food crumbs dropped by the kids. The optional Stow n' Go seating arrangement further enhances the Pacifica's practicality by enabling all rear seats to fold completely into the floor. This means buyers can turn their Pacifica from a family hauler to a cargo hauler in minutes.
The 2025 Sienna also offers a vacuum cleaner as an available option and even a fridge however the seating arrangement is not as versatile. The 2nd-row captain's chairs can be moved forward or backward to prioritize cargo space or passenger space however they cannot be stowed which makes it significantly less adaptable than the Pacifica. Moreover, the standard screen in the Sienna is only 8 inches which means some drivers may squint to see navigation prompts.
Bottom Line
The 2025 Toyota Sienna is a solid choice for buyers just needing a comfortable family hauler. However, those interested in a minivan that is adaptable to any circumstance and the ability to choose between a Plug-In Hybrid or Internal Combustion are better suited to the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica.
