Whether you’re planning to hike the Iroquois Trail or running some solo errands before pickup time, it’s important your next minivan has the space you and your passengers crave. Both the 2022 Pacifica and Odyssey make room for the entire clan with three rows of seating and baseline seating for up to seven.

However, when it comes to comfort, you may notice a few key differences in measurements:

As you can see, when it comes to second-row hip space, these minivans both offer ample space. However, this is where their similarities end.

Clearly, overall, the Pacifica has much more room for you and your family to stretch out in which is shown in the 165 cubic feet of passenger space it has to offer over the Odyssey’s 163.6 cubic feet.

Next, let’s examine these minivans’ dimensions for wheelbase, exterior width, and exterior height to see what each one has to offer in terms of their size.

Take a look at the specs in the table below:

The above numbers reveal the 2022 Pacifica to be the larger vehicle. As a result, you can rely on it to provide you with the more stable ride when you find yourself maneuvering through a particularly narrow turn.

You and the kids are going to ride bikes at Lazybrook Park. Or maybe this weekend is the big fishing trip at the coast. No matter where your travels end up taking you, you want to be sure that the engine you’ve got under the hood has what it takes to handle any challenges that cross your path.

The Pacifica has you covered in this regard, due to its 3.6L V6 engine that generates as much as 287 horsepower. With it propelling you down the road, passing vehicles or climbing steep hills isn’t likely to be much of a problem.

Unfortunately, the Odyssey is not able to supply you with quite as much oomph. The most you can expect from its engine is 280 horsepower.
