TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica plays to all the traditional minivan strengths, while it strikes out in exciting new directions in styling and in plug-in hybrid technology.

The 2017 Kia Sedona is a viable alternative to more popular vans that can cost much more. For less than $30,000 to start, it makes a strong case based on value.

TCC Likes

New look is splashy, intriguing
Best-in-class seating system gets even better
Plug-in Hybrid model promises great efficiency

Quiet cabin
Good infotainment system
Available Apple CarPlay

TCC Dislikes

No longer cheap
Sliding doors still mean "minivan"
Plug-in loses fold-away second-row seat

Mileage is only average
Pricey advanced safety
Can pitch and roll if driven quickly
