Minivans

The 2025 Carnival’s new hybrid system isn’t as powerful as the standard gas V-6, but its significant improvement in efficiency is a welcome addition, as are the Carnival’s stylistic and equipment changes.

Reintroduced to the broader public after a few years as a fleet exclusive, the Voyager is just an entry-level Pacifica with a different name.

Toyota has updated the Sienna for the 2025 model year, and some of the key changes are features-based, furthering the van’s uniqueness in the class.

For the 2025 model year, the Sienna gets improved interior materials, a newly standard radar-based rear-seat alert, and an available integrated vacuum and refrigerator.

Chrysler is simplifying the Pacifica lineup for 2025, reducing the overall number of trim levels from five to three and standardizing equipment between the gas engine and hybrid powertrain.

With a manufacturer-estimated range of 234 miles with rear-wheel drive and 231 with all-wheel drive, the ID. Buzz will start at $61,545 (all prices include $1,550 destination).

For 2024, Porsche takes the top spot for premium brands as well as the overall crown, with Mini taking the honors among mass-market brands.

Honda is giving its segment-leading minivan a mid-cycle face-lift consisting of a new grille, fresh front and rear styling, and updated tech inside.

Stellantis is recalling more than 19,500 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans for an issue with the plug-in hybrid’s battery that may lead to a fire.

The 2025 Carnival starts at $37,895 in the base LX trim, $2,900 more than the outgoing model-year 2024 base variant.
