2026 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey

Here's how the two vans compare on the points that decide it:

If the Sienna fits your family, browse our new Toyota inventory or request a test drive below.

The 2026 Toyota Sienna is a hybrid on every grade, and the 2026 Honda Odyssey runs a V6 on every trim. The two powertrains line up like this, with EPA estimates for mileage:

Front-drive to front-drive, the Sienna's EPA estimates come out ahead in the city, on the highway and combined.

The 2026 Odyssey's V6 carries the higher horsepower rating, so if rated power matters most to you, the Odyssey has the edge. The Sienna's figure is Toyota's rating for the whole hybrid system, and it's the same with front-drive or all-wheel drive.

All-wheel drive is the clearest difference between the Sienna and the Odyssey. Winter driving in Fayette County means hills and heavily salted roads, with Chestnut Ridge topping out near 3,000 feet and the pavement freezing and thawing again and again. The valleys see about 43 inches of snow in an average year, and the higher ground up to roughly 75 inches.

If you want all-wheel drive for those conditions, every Sienna grade offers Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, a system that uses an added rear electric motor and comes standard on the Woodland and Platinum. Every 2026 Odyssey is front-wheel drive, with Honda's Intelligent Traction Management and its Snow Mode standard on every trim.

Choosing all-wheel drive on a Sienna lowers its EPA combined estimate by one mpg and leaves the highway estimate unchanged. For more on driving through the snow months, see our winter-driving Toyota guide.

Seating is where the 2026 Toyota Sienna gives you a choice and the 2026 Honda Odyssey sticks with one layout. The Sienna LE seats eight, with a second-row bench and a stowable center seat. The front-drive XLE comes with seven or eight seats at the same price. Every other Sienna, including the all-wheel-drive XLE, seats seven, with second-row captain's chairs.

Those chairs have a super-long-slide feature, and on the Limited and Platinum they add built-in ottomans. Every 2026 Odyssey seats eight. Its second row pairs Honda's Magic Slide seats, which have armrests and a walk-in feature, with a multi-function center seat.

Both vans have a 60/40 split third row that stows in one motion: Toyota calls the Sienna's the One-Motion-Stow Split & Stow seat, and Honda calls the Odyssey's the Magic Seat. If you want eight seats no matter which version you buy, the Odyssey gives you that. If you'd rather have a seven-seat layout with second-row captain's chairs, the Sienna offers it from the XLE up.

For car seats, both vans have lower anchors in the second and third rows. The Sienna has five Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) locations with eight seats and four with seven. With eight seats, they're at all three second-row seats plus the passenger-side and center third-row seats; with seven, they're at the outboard second-row seats plus the passenger-side and center third-row seats. The 2026 Odyssey has lower anchors at all three second-row seats and both third-row outboard seats, plus tether anchors at every seat in the second and third rows.

Here are the numbers for inside room, cargo space and outside size on both vans, in inches and cubic feet:

On paper, the Odyssey's figures behind the second and first rows are larger, but Honda's count includes floor space between the seat rows where that applies, so the two sets of numbers are not a like-for-like match. To see what fits, bring your stroller or sports gear on a test drive.

Toyota and Honda give the 2026 Sienna and the 2026 Odyssey the same maximum towing rating, 3,500 pounds, on every Sienna grade and drivetrain and on every Odyssey trim. Honda's rating requires surge-type or electric trailer brakes and the available Honda accessory towing package and hitch ball, and Honda recommends premium unleaded fuel when towing.

On the Sienna, the Woodland comes from the factory with a towing hitch receiver and a 4-pin wiring harness. Fitting a tow hitch to a Sienna means removing or disabling the kick sensor at the rear bumper and turning its setting off. If weekends in the Laurel Highlands mean pulling a camper, a boat or a utility trailer, check its loaded weight against that rating first.

The 2026 Toyota Sienna and the 2026 Honda Odyssey put different equipment at each level. Here's what differs, by Sienna grade and Odyssey trim:

If heated front seats and the Smart Key System are on your list, start your Sienna search at the XLE. Among Sienna grades, only the Platinum adds a 10-inch color Head-Up Display, a Panoramic View Monitor with 360-degree Overhead View and Curb View, and a built-in vacuum and FridgeBox.

Every 2026 Toyota Sienna and every 2026 Honda Odyssey comes standard with a driver-assist suite: Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 plus Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert on the Sienna, and Honda Sensing on the Odyssey. The table below lists what each includes, plus the rear-seat reminder both vans carry as standard:

NHTSA rates both 2026 vans 5 stars overall. Ratings change as new tests are published, so check NHTSA.gov for the latest.

The Sienna's warranty matches the Odyssey's on basic, powertrain and corrosion terms, and the Sienna's hybrid system and hybrid battery get coverage of their own:

The 2026 Toyota Sienna comes in six grades: LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland, Limited and Platinum. The 2026 Honda Odyssey has four trims, running from the EX-L up to the Elite, with the Touring one step below the Elite.

The two lineups launched at these starting MSRPs, excluding destination:

Front-drive to front-drive, the Sienna starts $2,375 lower at launch, and the all-wheel-drive Sienna LE starts $375 below the Odyssey EX-L. The two entry versions are equipped differently: the Odyssey EX-L's front seats are heated and trimmed in leather, the Sienna LE's are fabric, and both have three-zone automatic climate control.

To decide between the 2026 Sienna and the 2026 Odyssey, drive both. Start by sending us a request for a Sienna test drive, and drive the 2026 Odyssey at a Honda store too. We sell new Toyotas, so we won't have a new Odyssey on our lot. A used one may turn up in our pre-owned inventory from time to time, but we can't promise one.

If you're trading in your current vehicle, ask us to appraise your trade-in. Send us its details, and we'll get back to you with our value. Our finance team helps arrange financing for all credit through lenders, and you can work out a monthly payment with your own numbers before you come in. For a family shopping from Morgantown, West Virginia, or from anywhere in Southwestern Pennsylvania, it helps to know that buyers report often completing the deal over the phone, by text or by email, then making a short visit to collect their vehicle.
