Every minivan you can buy in America in 2025

As the epitome of uncompromising functionality, minivans are the backbone of many American families. Although crossovers have become hotter commodities, there is still a noteworthy selection of traditional minivans available to stateside buyers.

Every minivan you can buy in America in 2025

Fitted with sliding doors, plenty of seating, abundant cargo space, and enough power to haul as much as you can shove inside, modern minivans are specially designed to serve the needs of a chaotic, fast-paced family life.

While many buyers have transitioned away from minivans towards large crossovers for their more rugged appeal, heightened ride, and general trendiness, a few brands still offer the uncomplicated and purposeful appeal of the traditional multi-personnel carrier – and there's huge value to be seen here.

The following list explores every minivan that can be purchased brand-new in North America for the 2025 model year. The selection includes a diverse array of powertrains, including naturally-aspirated petrol V6s, turbocharged four-cylinders, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and full EVs.

Listed prices reflect starting MSRPs and do not include freight and PDI charges, dealer fees, current rebates and incentives, or applicable taxes.

2025 Chrysler Pacifica - $42,450 - $60,280 MSRP

For 2025, minivans are the only offerings on Chrysler's dwindling menu. While it's an ominous sign for the historic brand, the Pacifica's sales figures at least prove they can still produce a vehicle that's in touch with buyers' desires. While in base form, the Pacifica is fitted with a relatively straightforward, 287-horsepower, 3.6L Pentastar V6, it can also be had with a 260-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain for enhanced efficiency.

Although the PHEV model's efficiency is a plus for many, the V6's long-term reliability is less of a concern. If your future Pacifica will spend the foreseeable future taking beatings from the full force of your entire family, the less complex powertrain may be less of a headache down the road. The V6 model can also be had with all-wheel drive—an option not available with hybrid power—that serves up superior traction in rough conditions.

V6-powered models offer fantastic price value as well, thanks to their comparably inexpensive cost versus PHEV trims. They are, of course, surprisingly spacious and comfortable and can be genuinely luxurious if buyers spring for the 'Pinnacle' package, which starts at $55,930 (almost $6,000 less than the same package fitted with plug-in hybrid power) and comes with quilted Nappa leather upholstery and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels.

2025 Chrysler Voyager - $39,995 MSRP

If you're not as concerned with upgraded amenities as you are with affordability and functionality, the 2025 Chrysler Voyager (or Grand Caravan, in Canada) is like the "Ram 1500 Classic" of the Chrysler minivan lineup. Essentially a previous-generation Pacifica, the Voyager retains the simplicity of the older model, offering a less expensive alternative for buyers willing to sacrifice superficial cosmetic differences and a plusher cabin in order to save a few bucks.

Powered by the same 287-horsepower 3.6L V6, 9-speed automatic transmission, and standard front-wheel drive found in the standard Pacifica, the Voyager really isn't all that different. It's essentially a stripped-out base model Pacifica with an old face and no option for all-wheel drive. If an inexpensive, uncomplicated minivan is what you're searching for, the Voyager is a good place to start.

2025 Honda Odyssey - $42,220 - $51,180 MSRP

The Honda Odyssey has earned its place as a staple of the North American minivan segment, and its fundamental recipe remains relatively unchanged for 2025. Using an updated variant of the same J35 3.5L V6 that's been under its hood since 1999, the Odyssey packs a 280-horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque punch.

Honda's tried-and-true power plant ensures solid long-term reliability, but it does come at the cost of diminished fuel economy compared to some of its rivals. Rated at 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, the Odyssey's fuel economy is identical to that of the V6-powered Chrysler Pacifica, which isn't much of a surprise.

In the Odyssey's base-model form, the EX-L package comes standard with leather seats, a power moonroof, and an electric tailgate. With an almost identical MSRP, the Chrysler Pacifica Select is equipped with "leatherette" upholstery, and a power moonroof will cost an additional $1,895. This means the Odyssey offers significant value in base form in terms of available standard amenities.

2025 Kia Carnival - $36,800 - $52,900 MSRP

Representing some of the best all-around value on this list, the Kia Carnival gets a funky, fresh facelift and an all-new, optional hybrid powertrain for 2025. With the lowest starting MSRP on this list, the Carnival is an attractively affordable contender.

The standard 3.5L V6-powered Kia Carnival's fuel economy is on par with that of the other six-cylinder minivans on this list, boasting a combined rating of 21 mpg. In hybrid form, however, it benefits from a 33 mpg rating—a significant improvement over the V6.

The all-new hybrid powertrain is reasonably accessible, too, with a starting price of just $40,800. That said, it's worth noting that if you're absolutely set on a hybrid but don't want to break the bank, the hybrid-only Toyota Sienna, in base form, is over $1,000 less expensive. Both offer similar standard features, as well.

2025 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Van - $43,600 MSRP

Often overlooked as a mere commercial cargo van, the Mercedes-Benz Metris, in "Passenger Van" form, offers a compelling alternative to the more traditional minivans on this list. It's important to keep in mind, however, that in base form, the Metris is devoid of many features you might expect at its price point.

With all the boxes ticked, however, such as the "electric sliding door package" and "cold weather package," pricing inches closer to the mid-$50,000 range, which isn't too far off from many of its rivals on this list in the upgraded-trim-level form. A 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle FWD starts at $54,730, for example.

The Metris also benefits from its unique configurability, meaning you can select from a variety of optional layouts and features to fine-tune your Metris to your specific needs. For example, the Metris can be had with 5-, 7-, or 8-passenger seating layouts, and buyers can decide between a traditional rear liftgate or 180-degree-opening barn-style doors.

Powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, the Metris sends 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to its rear wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission. It's not quite as powerful as other models on this list, but it certainly possesses the low-end torque necessary for heavy hauling.

2025 Toyota Sienna - $39,185 - $56,145 MSRP

Since 1998, the Toyota Sienna has been a kingpin in the minivan segment. Beloved for its bulletproof reliability, exceptional resale value, and affordable price point, the Sienna continues to dominate its segment in terms of value and quality.

The Toyota Sienna doesn't just have the lowest starting MSRP of any vehicle on this list – it's also the least expensive minivan with a hybrid powertrain. Its 2.5L hybrid four-cylinder churns out a hearty 245 horsepower and contributes to an EPA-rated fuel economy of 36 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, which is one of the best ratings in its class. All-wheel drive is optional as well, although it will somewhat reduce fuel economy figures.

2025 VW ID. Buzz - $59,995 - $69,995 MSRP

The only fully electric minivan available in North America at the moment is the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. It's remarkably more expensive than other minivans on this list, but if you're willing to pony up the coin, the 2025 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year offers fashionable style, an innovative electric powertrain, and a superbly premium interior.

Despite being the "base model," the ID Buzz Pro S does not lack upmarket amenities. This trim comes standard with heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, 20-inch wheels, three-zone auto climate control, active safety systems, and an EPA-rated range of 234 miles.

For an even more lavish experience, the top-trim "1st Edition with 4MOTION", which starts at $69,995, offers second-row captain's chairs, a panoramic moonroof with "electrochromic smart dimming", a Harman Kardon 13-speaker sound system, two-tone paint, and all-wheel drive.

Final thoughts

The minivan market segment has traditionally been a haven for under-appreciated value in the automotive landscape. Plagued by the "soccer mom" stereotypes, minivans are often overlooked in favor of more masculine crossovers and SUVs.

If functionality and value for money are more important to you than aesthetics and superficiality, the aforementioned minivans represent some of the best new vehicle options for buyers who prioritize their needs over their wants and continue the tradition of supreme automotive value.
