2025 Toyota Sienna vs 2026 Honda Odyssey

$39,485 · Minivan

$42,795 · Minivan

Comparison Overview

Choosing between the 2025 Toyota Sienna and the 2026 Honda Odyssey often boils down to efficiency versus outright power, which is a classic dilemma for large family haulers. If maximizing your budget and minimizing fuel stops matters most, the Sienna is the clear choice, boasting an incredible 36 MPG combined while having an MSRP that undercuts the Odyssey by $3,310 (starting at $39,485 vs $42,795). However, if performance takes priority, the Odyssey steps up with 280 horsepower compared to the Sienna’s 245 hp, paired with a traditional 10-speed automatic transmission. While the Sienna offers a slightly larger cargo area at 33.5 cubic feet versus the Odyssey's 32.8 cu ft, that efficiency gap—a massive 14 MPG difference in combined driving—is the real headliner, making the Sienna the practical long-term winner for most daily drivers.
