2020 Best Selling Minivans In the United States (All Models Ranked)
In 2020, the minivan segment in the U.S. was not as vast as the SUV or pickup truck segments, but minivans remained an essential choice for families looking for spacious interiors, flexibility, and safety features. Despite facing stiff competition from SUVs, certain minivans continued to maintain respectable sales numbers. The minivan market in 2020 was primarily driven by the key players, with each offering a unique set of features and value propositions to attract family buyers.
The Chrysler Pacifica remained a standout in the segment due to its upscale interior, advanced technology, and features like Stow ‘n Go seating. In 2020, Chrysler also introduced the Voyager, essentially a lower-priced variant of the Pacifica catering to budget-conscious buyers.
Known for its reliability and available all-wheel drive, the Toyota Sienna was a popular choice for many families. The 2021 model year would bring a significant redesign with a hybrid-only powertrain, so 2020 sales might have benefited from those looking for the last of the V6 models or clearance deals.
The Honda Odyssey has always been known for its driving dynamics, comfort, and family-friendly features, and 2020 was no different. With features like the CabinWatch camera system and Magic Slide second-row seats, it catered to family needs. While not as popular as the top three, the Kia Sedona offered a value-oriented option in the minivan segment, with a comfortable interior and a suite of standard safety features.
An old stalwart in the minivan market, the Dodge Grand Caravan had its final year of sales in 2020. Its continued appeal was largely due to its affordability and versatile Stow ‘n Go seating, even as it lagged in more modern amenities and safety features.
