Tuscaloosa Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

The 2027 Pacifica is the clear pick for families who need all-weather traction, want floor-folding seats across two rows, or tow recreational gear up to 3,600 lbs. The 2027 Honda Odyssey edges ahead on raw cargo volume and standard 8-passenger seating. Both minivans match exactly on city/highway fuel economy, so the decision comes down to whether AWD capability and seat-folding flexibility or maximum cargo volume is the bigger priority for your family.

Full 2027 Chrysler Pacifica specs and trims
The Pacifica's 3.6L Pentastar V-6 produces 287 hp, giving it a 7-hp advantage over the Odyssey's 280-hp 3.5L V-6. Torque is identical at 262 lb-ft for both. The Pacifica pairs its engine to a 9-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, a segment-exclusive unit. The Odyssey counters with a 10-speed automatic featuring shift-by-wire and paddle shifters.
The Pacifica's bigger powertrain story is towing. With the available Trailer Tow Group, the Pacifica reaches 3,600 lbs, 100 lbs ahead of the Odyssey's 3,500-lb rating. For families who haul jet skis, small campers, or trailers on Alabama summer weekends, that margin plus trailer-sway damping makes the Pacifica the stronger tool.
The Odyssey is exclusively front-wheel drive across every trim. The Pacifica offers AWD on Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims. On AWD models, the Pacifica's intelligent system can send 100% of available torque to the rear wheels and fully disconnect the power-transfer unit when AWD is not needed, keeping efficiency competitive with the FWD-only Odyssey.
City and highway fuel economy is identical for both vehicles at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in FWD configuration. EPA fuel economy ratings for both vehicles
Both minivans seat families comfortably, but the approaches differ. The Odyssey comes standard with 8-passenger seating across every trim. The Pacifica is standard at 7 passengers, with 8-passenger seating available on Select FWD only.
On max cargo, the Odyssey has a real edge: 155.8 cu ft versus 140.5 cu ft in the Pacifica. Behind the third row, the two are nearly identical at 32.8 cu ft (Odyssey) and 32.3 cu ft (Pacifica).
The Pacifica holds a structural advantage that no other minivan matches: the class-exclusive Stow 'n Go system folds both second- and third-row seats flat into the floor. The Odyssey's third row folds flat with a one-motion 60/40 split, and its second-row Magic Slide seats reconfigure for access, but they do not fold into the floor. For gear-heavy hauls, the Pacifica's flat floor arrives in seconds with zero unloading required.
On the Pacifica's AWD-equipped Select and Limited trims, Stow 'n Go remains available in the second row, a combination no other minivan can offer. The Pinnacle trim features removable captain's chairs up front and third-row Stow 'n Go power-folding seats as standard.
The Pinnacle's exclusive Blue Agave Nappa leather interior with Sol Stopper copper accent stitching is a genuinely distinctive choice. The Odyssey Elite's perforated leather is refined, but it does not offer a signature color in the same way. Both cabins use active noise cancellation for quiet highway cruising.
The Pacifica's adjustable-height power liftgate is standard across every trim for 2027, a practical feature for garage-clearance situations. The Odyssey offers a programmable-height power tailgate standard on all trims as well, with hands-free access on the Elite only. The Pacifica offers hands-free power sliding side doors on the Pinnacle.
Both vehicles run wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto as standard. The Pacifica's base Uconnect 5 system uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Odyssey uses a 9-inch touchscreen. The Pacifica's Uconnect 5 NAV with integrated navigation steps in on Limited and above, and as part of the Family Tech Group on Select.
The Pacifica's FamCam interior camera is available through the Family Tech Group, letting drivers monitor rear passengers on the central display with a zoom-to-seat function. The Odyssey's CabinWatch rear-seat monitor is standard on Touring and Elite. The Odyssey's CabinTalk in-car PA system is standard across all trims, a feature the Pacifica does not offer.
For rear entertainment, the Pacifica's Theater Group adds Amazon Fire TV Built-In with seatback screens. The Odyssey's Advanced Rear Entertainment System with a 12.8-inch high-resolution screen is standard on Touring and Elite trims.
On audio, the Pacifica's available 19-speaker Harman Kardon system (packaged with the Family Tech Group on Limited) or 13-speaker Alpine system are strong options. The Odyssey Elite offers a 500-watt 11-speaker premium system.
On safety, both vehicles include comprehensive standard suites. The Pacifica carries full-speed forward collision warning with active braking, adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, LaneSense lane departure warning with lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, and ParkSense rear park assist with stop, all standard on every trim.
The Odyssey's Honda Sensing suite covers collision mitigation braking with advanced pedestrian detection, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise with low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, blind spot information, and cross traffic monitor, all standard on every trim.
The Pacifica adds the Safety Sphere Package (standard on Pinnacle, available on Select and Limited) with turn signal-activated blind-spot view, ParkSense-based camera activation, 360-degree surround view, and front/rear park assist with stop. The Odyssey includes parking sensors on Touring and Elite.
2027 Pacifica safety features overview
The Odyssey lineup starts at EX-L, which is already a well-equipped mid-tier position. The Pacifica's lineup begins at the LX, which includes power sliding doors, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, all seven standard safety systems listed above, adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, and the adjustable-height power liftgate.
The Pacifica's basic warranty is 3 years / 36,000 miles. Honda's warranty information was not included in the provided specs and is not stated here.
The Pacifica's decoupled Family Tech Group and Theater Group for 2027 let buyers add only the features they want, whether that is FamCam, premium audio, or the Fire TV rear entertainment system, rather than paying for a bundled package. The Odyssey's Touring and Elite trims bundle navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot, CabinWatch, and the rear entertainment system together.
The Pacifica is the only minivan to offer AWD at all, which adds meaningful year-round utility for families in areas with winter weather. No trim or configuration of the Odyssey offers AWD.
