2012 Best Selling Minivans In the United States (All Models Ranked)
Minivans, while perhaps not as “cool” as other segments, have always offered unmatched practicality for families, making them popular choices for those with kids and lots to haul. In 2012, the minivan segment in the U.S. was primarily dominated by a few key players. The Grand Caravan was a pioneering model in the minivan segment from its inception in the 1980s. By 2012, it was still a significant force in the market due to its affordability and versatility. The “Stow ‘n Go” seating, which allowed the second and third-row seats to be folded completely flat into the floor, was a notable feature.
The Odyssey is often lauded for its driving dynamics, quality, and reliability. By 2012, the Odyssey had garnered a strong reputation as one of the best minivans on the market with features catering to family needs. Another strong contender in the segment, the Toyota Sienna stood out in 2012 as the only minivan offering an all-wheel-drive option. Its mix of reliability, comfort, and versatility made it a popular choice for many families.
