  1. 1Toyota SiennaToyota Sienna2021 to present, hybrid only The fuel bill is where the Sienna quietly embarrasses three-row SUVs. Every one since 2021 is a hybrid, making 245 horsepower and rated up to 36 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, or 35 mpg with the available all-wheel drive, so a snowy school drop-off costs almost…0
  2. 2Honda Odyssey (North America)Honda Odyssey (North America)2018 to present, fifth generation Magic Slide is the reason to pick the Odyssey: the second-row seats slide sideways, so you can push a car seat to one side and open a walkway to the third row without unbuckling anyone. Every trim seats eight, and the 280-horsepower V6 with a 10-speed automatic…0
  3. 3Kia CarnivalKia Carnival2025 to present, with the hybrid The Carnival styles itself like an SUV, but the sliding doors and the space behind them are pure minivan, which makes it the easiest sell to anyone embarrassed by the word. The 2025 update added a hybrid with 242 horsepower and an EPA estimate of 33 mpg combined,…0
  4. 4Chrysler Pacifica (minivan)Chrysler Pacifica (minivan)Gasoline V6, 2017 to present Stow 'n Go is the trick no SUV can match: the second and third rows fold into the floor, turning a seven-seater into a cargo van in a parking lot, with no seats to haul into the garage. Chrysler calls the Pacifica the only minivan to offer all-wheel drive together with…0
  5. 5Toyota SiennaToyota Sienna2017 to 2020, used, V6 For a used-car budget, the last V6 Siennas are a strong bet. From 2017, Toyota fitted a 296-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and an eight-speed automatic, and the Sienna was then the only minivan offering all-wheel drive, so this is the cheap way into a snow-ready van. The 2018 has…0
  6. 6Chrysler VoyagerChrysler Voyager2020 to 2026, now the Pacifica LX The Voyager is the stripped-down Pacifica, and for families who want Stow 'n Go seats at the lowest price, that is all it needs to be. In its final years it came in one LX trim with the V6 and a 10.1-inch touchscreen, priced below every Pacifica. For 2027…0
  7. 7Chrysler Pacifica (minivan)Chrysler Pacifica (minivan)Plug-in hybrid, used, with care The Pacifica Hybrid is the only plug-in hybrid minivan, so the school drop-off and back can happen on electricity alone, with about 32 miles of electric range before the V6 takes over. Chrysler discontinued it in 2026, which makes it a used purchase now, and it has…0
  8. 8Volkswagen ID. BuzzVolkswagen ID. Buzz2025 model year, fully electric The ID. Buzz is the only fully electric minivan here, with sliding doors, seating for up to seven and an EPA range of about 234 miles with rear-wheel drive, or 231 with the dual-motor all-wheel drive. For a family that charges at home and rarely drives far, it does…0
