I haven't tried a Sienna or Odyssey but get why minivan hype is back.

I own a Pacifica hybrid and we've had the van since 2019
Advantages:
-comfort can't be beat, kids get captains chairs and each have their own screen with a 110v outlet to plug a console in for the 10+ hour trips to Alberta.
-use almost no gas day to day, only using gas when driving more than 50km in a day
-lots of useable space
Disadvantages:
-not particularly powerful and you didn't really get the same instant torque as with EVs
-engine refresh mode means no matter what you're still going to burn some gas from time to time
-twice the drive trains to maintain and for something to go wrong in
-bespoke parts means expensive repairs if not warranty
-current models have outdated entertainment tech. Could use a refresh
