Reviews SummaryThe 2024 Chrysler Pacifica is the last Chrysler model standing, as well as one of a shrunken contingent of North American-market minivans that also includes the Honda Odyssey, Kia Carnival, and Toyota Sienna. While it hasn’t been redesigned since its introduction as a 2017 model, the Pacifica continues with minimal changes. The only news for 2024 is a handful of new colour options. Verdict: The Pacifica checks all of the boxes, with only small issues to detract from its overall goodness. | |
Reviews SummaryAhead of a 2025-model-year refresh, the 2024 Kia Carnival carries over unchanged as Kia’s entry into a small, but competitive, minivan segment that also includes the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna. The Carnival offers a great driving experience and affordable starting price, but these upsides are tainted by a lack of all-wheel drive and mixed safety ratings. | |
