O21STACK - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I am a Pacifica hybrid owner. Since 2017. Use it for businesses moving people to the airport. Current mileage is 205k kms. I charge it for free and make up to 4000 Kms before I visit a pump for gas. Since I switched to phev Pacifica my annual gas expenses dropped from 20k Canadian to just 4K.For me Pacifica is the crown winner. For those who can’t charge it may look different. Anyway thank you very much for this review.
Sienna gets 10 pts for reliability, Pacifica gets -10 pts
Stfu.
Price should go to pacifica . It does get federal and state tax rebate and gets better feature for the same price. Also charging is optional even with out charging pacifica would act as a regular hybrid..
Living in Northwest (snow and rain) means whatever others say about Pacifica PHEV, I am only buying Sienna 4WD. Not to mention the reliability issue of the Chrysler, I don’t want to take that risk of the family hauler spends half of time in dealership.
Hello. I own 2017 Pacifica phev. Use it for business. Have 205k on the odo. Keep my fingers crossed but no issues so far, no visits to dealer at all. Charging for free at all my destinations I visit a pump once in up to 4000 kms. I drive all weather conditions and have no problems with snow on winter tires. I love siennas new design and Toyota products, my wife loves her venza, but if you say minivan, there is just one for me: Pacifica PHEV.
I disagree that plugging in for Pacifica is a disadvantage. It does not need to be plugged in. It functions asa regular plugin just fine. Plugging in is optional and it makes daily duties very very cheap. It is an advantage for Pacifica.
The Sienna is more economical for long trips, while the Pacifica is hands down more economical for in town drives, which most of us take. My Pacifica reads 46 MPG combined for the life of the vehicle, because our trips are under that 30 miles daily.
I got the 2021 Toyota Sienna because I was worried about the Pacifica’s long-term reliability. Both a very nice, but I want something that’s going to last 10 years and not have lot of issues
The price point seems misleading at present. There are nearly $10k worth of discounts and there is also a federal tax credit of $7.5k for the Pacifica. Totalling all that, a similar trim of Pacifica ends up far less expensive than a Sienna.
Sienna all the way
Pacifica does not have to be plugged in.
The Sienna does not get anywhere close to 36 MPG. Real world testing shows it at 29.3 while the Pacifica without charging it gets over 30 MPG. The facts in this video is bad. The Pacifica is still a hybrid when you don't charge it.
Also if you owe taxes you still get $7500 for the Pacifica hybrid in tax incentives. So it''s actually cheaper than the gas version and it drives better than the gas version, smooth on all levels, but one thing that is right is there is no tow rating with this van. Chrysler does not endorse towing with this vehicle.
I have a sienna and agree with everyone that it will last longer.
Also, residual on mine is insane. Dealer offered me $21000 trade in and it's a 2015, with 49000 miles, over 5 years and almost 50% depreciation.
Howevwr the pricing on this video doesn't tell the entire story. I just assisted someone in a purchase of a Pacifica limited hybrid, sticker price was $47,200 and sale price with rebates was $37,800.
Now they also didn't factor in the tax credit so after that it's $30,300.
The chrysler also has tons of features that would cost thousands more in Toyota. Handsfree doors, rear seat entertainment, heated seats, heated steering wheel etc.
So I would love to have gotten another toyota for a friend but the pricing after rebates and tax credits with similar features was $16,000 more.
We just bought a Pacifica hybrid for pretty much the same reasons. And we wanted the platinum trim Sienna but Toyota is building so few of them that dealers are asking MSRP for the ones they have. We got a Pacifica hybrid Limited S trim for $12k less than the Toyota and it has more features. Dealer and Chrysler rebates lowered the Pacifica by $10k. Not even counting the federal tax credit. (I still cannot figure out Toyota’s thought process in adding rear seat entertainment but no DVD player)
@@John-vh1fk yep, enjoy the van! I laugh when suv people say "I have these cool 2nd row seats so we can access the back row". I'm like yeah, if you would only have sliding hands free doors for you and the kids then you will enjoy real ease of use.
My wife was against it initially but after several test drives and different types of cars the van was by far the best decision.
Before this video even starts for me, let's go ahead and ask the audience which vehicle they think will still be rolling down the road reliably in the next 15 years. I'll wait..
Its definitely going to be the pacifi.....NAAAA! The toyota will outlast everything
Minivans are like the only thing Chrysler does reliably. The 3.6 is a really good engine.
@@rjherche perhaps, but they've stuffed an impressive amount of gadgets into that vehicle. You think that every one of them will be as reliable as any Toyota? I do wish they had real competition but I've had more problems with even Honda than I ever expected.
Toyota if the stuck accelerator pedal issue occurs again....
@@deadlyapollo must be why they have less horsepower.
Reliability is king. Take a guess. Lol
My 2008 Sienna has 280,746 miles of reliability with very few maintenance. Oh What A Feeling...
I agree and hope toyota comes out with a PHEV awd Sienna. I will say some models of the Carican/T&C were pretty damn reliable. The towing restriction is a deal breaker though
I think reliability should be a huge point
$7500 tax credit for plug in hybrid. Prices nearly identical now.
Plus Dealer incentives and discounts often knock off another $7k- $10k
@@MrKillerRC In a normal world Chryslers definitely get discounted more. But I saw first hand just recently when I did a little shopping that we are not in a normal world. Everyone’s heard all the stories about chips shortages and if you go look at the car lots, the stories of low inventory are true !
I drove a pacifica 2022 and i was mind blown, beautiful interior
You forgot to mention the reliability factor, Chrysler is famously unreliable. The Sienna will likely clock 300k trouble free miles while you should consider yourself blessed if you get even half that in the Chrysler.
Toyota canceled the vacuum. The Pacifica also has a $7500 tax rebate.
How can the Sienna be more fuell efficient? Most parents will use these for local daily driving under 32 miles. This means one could literally use no gas for days. How much more effecient can you get than that? BTW, for those of you saying the Pacifica is not reliable, mine has been rock solid for 3 years now.
Not being able to plug in is a DISADVANTAGE for a hybrid like the Sienna
The sienna is still more efficient lol
Who the hell wants to spend 3hrs Charging their Vehicle?
I'll watch because I like CNET and i like the style of Ms. Hall but I'll stick with Toyota. Reliability, Reliability, Reliability. Could care less about the rear seat entertainment system.
Chrysler Pacifica hands down
I still have my 2005 Toyota Sienna XL and one of the best features is the cargo capacity. The rear seats fold down and I can remove the three middle seats that has allowed me to haul 4x8 Sheetrock and plywood under a covered bed.
The engine has 195,000 miles
I wish the new 2021 Sienna had that ability to remove the middle seats to make it into a covered long bed like my 2005 Sienna...so utilitarian...a true mini-Van, kid-carrier, tent camper,...
AWD Sienna seems like the top choice in this segment. The mpg, traction and tow rating are unequalled. QDR speaks for itself.
Only if the interior wasn’t from 2005
WHAT is a Qdr ?
@@rcollinge5818
Acronym for quality, durability, and reliability
@@Lucky8s Good point !
If only Toyota can figure out a way to make the rear row seats stowable or at least removable. This is the only thing that may affect my decision to not go for it.
For my money i'd go to Sienna! cheap AND reliable! whats not to like..
2:56 the Sienna actually does have one "visual aide" for viewing rear seat passengers in the form of a small mirror that hinges down from the overhead console. 😉
Chrysler pacifica for sure!! that v6 pentastar gives me confidence if i hit the road fully loaded !
but I want V6 power! Or make a Sienna Prime!
YES! SIENNA PRIME!!!!!!
If the Pacifica can run on gas when its battery is depleted, I wouldn't say that you "have to" plug either vehicle in.
I thought this was going to be much closer before watching the video, but it does seem the winner (despite the close score) seems like a much better package.
I really wanted to get the Highlander XSE Hybrid, but they don't offer it for 8 Passangers, only for 7. They do on the XLE but I don't care for the looks of it.
You failed to mention Toyota's bullet proof reliability and Chrysler's history of building complete junk.
Odyssey? How does that hold up to the sienna?
Transmissions blow up in the Odyssey.
Any one screaming about how good the Toyota is... must have never spent more than 5 minutes with a spongebob addicted child. Sometimes even uncles need a break
I have, and I will stick with Toyota reliability over Chrysler flash and questionable quality control ANY DAY.
@@Tang0Fox1 oh no doubt the Toyo is the superior and best choice. Buuuuutttt. I'm weighing immediate peace of mind v. Long term peace of mind. The Town & Country is 'good enough'. It'll last long enough for the little monsters to mature outta screaming at the top of the lungs for 10mins straight.
@@volvo30 hahaha. Goog point but I'm cheap and if I ever have to buy a new car I'm keeping that thing 20 years at least and then transferring the title to them and buying another Toyota for me and the wife. Rav 4 or something similar.
@@Tang0Fox1 this is why I'm single, gay and drive a focus. Enough room for me and me alone lmao!
I only deal with kids on a needed basis. For now at least lol
I would really like for the PHEV Pacifica to win this comparison. Because I am a big fan of driving electric. But Chrysler has a real talent for doing the right things badly. Too little electric range, and too expensive, but add a couple of video screens, and people will buy it
I like how your own viewers are seeing through your bs and calling out automotive fluff channels like you. The chrysler will be in the junkyard in 3-4 years. The Toyota will still be on the road in 15-20 years. Nuff said.
This is just not true. I drove a lot of those minivans being in airport limo businesses for 20 years. With all authority I may say: you lie. Sorry.
Just the hybrid eAWD, i pick Sienna. Also the eCVT is not really a cvt...its totally different.
Cost of ownership is more valuable, you not getting issues until 100k+ miles with the Toyota.
That Sienna engine noise is loud. Should have mentioned over a course of a year & having a L2 charger available what the yearly cost would be between the two. Glossed over the headunit's OS. But the kicker is that Chrysler, Stellantis, whatever its called reliability. Not being able to control the EV on the Pacifica is a letdown. Also didn't mention the Federal Tax Credit. If you are spending over 40K you probably qualify for the full amount.
if I'm leasing, I'll take the Pacifica, however, if I'm committing with a loan, Sienna all the way.
most driving ppl do is short distance, so it would be alot cheaper to use the pacifica for most driving!
2nd, the pacifica actually can be cheaper with the rebate!
3rd pacifica is not noisy and sluggish like the toyota
4th better styling on the pacifica in and out.
only thing that the pacifica needs yet is awd on the hybrid trim!!
we have a 2020 pacifica with awd and it is great!! gets 28mpg on the highway consistently
and has been very reliable! cant imagine a seat that can not be removed i love our stow and go!!
i mean sienna has a glass to check on the kids
I'm a Toyota buyer for life. Read Consumer Reports magazine? Red circles for Toyota, black circles for Chrysler.
Dont forget about reliability, another point for Toyota...
Eh not really anymore. Both had transmission issues and recalls. Toyota had electrical gremlins and chrysler had bubbling paint. Nothing TOO terrible. Toyota safety record was abysmal by van standards but the new one fixed it. So now they are tied. Pick one that looks cooler to you.
@@deadlyapollo if I were buying a new hybrid minivan, I'm going with Toyota, they've been making hybrids for, 20 years or so, Chrysler? Has never made reliable vehicles.
Toyota Sienna
Missing Cooley
I like the storage setup and the reliability. So sienna won by a mile
Sienna all the time
The Toyota 4cyl is weak in a heavy minivan. Revs too high.
Pacifica Pinnacle Hybrid is the king of comfort. It gets a $7,500 fed tax credit too. Plus there’s often discounts and manufacturer cash back, up to $10k off MSRP.
Cuz it’s a plug-in we often go months without gassing it up. Love it. I also own a 2007 Sienna Limited. But I love plug-ins. If Toyota made a Prime Sienna I’d go for it. But until then, Pacifica Hybrid wins.
Toyota ❤
I would just buy Toyotq for reliablility and resellability at q higher price
RELIABILITY, no contest there.
You're detracting points for having to charge a hybrid electric car.......
If anyone buys a Pacifica over a sienna, you need a checkup from the neck up
:-)
The Pacifica is better than the Sienna in every category except for reliability
Toyota because reliability rules
You have to count the style. The Sienna is hideous and the Pacifica is beautiful.
I'd go Chrysler Pacifica. Yeah I know the brand has some reliability issue, but not everything is perfect. My family has a 2019 Pacifica Limited has been solid, all it needed was maintenance and occasional Updates.
Cause it cheaper and cheaper than sienna
Toyota without a doughnut 🍩.
Chrysler is garbage
As always Toyota goes reliable
This woman is just reading the specs, but has no understanding of what a plugin hybrid is for. Most trips are well under 30 miles. One can drive for months on one tank of gas. The potential gas savings with the Pacifica are enormous if one keeps it plugged in. And of course, she forgets (or just doesn't know) about the $7500 tax credit, which is still available. What a stupid comparison by an unknowledgeable reviewer.
Toyota rear entertainment is better because if you got kids in the back all the kids can watch movie
The chrysler will be my first choice no Honda's Toyota's in my drive way. The chrysler look way better than the sienna.
Get that Toco out of here Pacifica better
I still prefer the looks the stor n' go and the ergonomics of the Chrysler
The hybrid does not have a stow and go, that's where the battery goes
We wish from those responsible for the new cars
In developing engineering plans for manufacturing flying saucers
Because new cars should be flying saucers in the sky
and These flying saucers must have three perks
1 / The flying saucers must be self-driving so that everyone can use them
2 / The autonomous driving of flying saucers must be based on artificial intelligence programs
3/Artificial intelligence must rely on the new Google Maps in order to direct the launch of flying saucers to the desired places .
He sent these three basic demands to the technicians and engineers in the auto industry in order to make flying saucers
.
Electric vehicles are just better. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs.
Gasoline and diesel are OLD polluting technology. So last century.
Electric cars, electric trucks, electric buses, electric trash haulers, electric snow blowers, electric lawn mowers, electric snow mobiles, electric water craft, electric garden tools, electric mechanic tools, electric motor cycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric farm tractors, electric construction equipment, electric delivery vehicles, ...... everything is going electric. No worries about starting after sitting for a few months. Gas always needs repairs.
