An all-wheel-drive minivan offers flexible seating, a roomy cargo hold, and added grip usually reserved for an SUV. There still aren't many new minivans available with AWD; only two of the five minivans on the market offer it. We'll go over the choices available to you. There are also a few used minivans with AWD, but they are so old they'll be rare on the used market, so the two newer options below are your best bet. These minivans are ranked according to their Carfax Expert Rating, which is based on a combination of comfort, quality, safety, and value.

Carfax Expert Rating: 9.2 out of 10
Price w/ AWD: $42,980
Pros: Available AWD, excellent fuel economy, relaxed ride, valuable in-car vacuum and refrigerated bin

The Toyota Sienna excels as a people carrier with a comfortable ride and roomy seats. The van’s standard hybrid engine delivers excellent fuel economy figures for the class, and it’s available with all-wheel drive. Competitors have more flexible seats and better performance, but the Sienna is a multifaceted minivan.

2. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.4 out of 10

One of just two models in Chrysler’s lineup, the Pacifica is a pleasant, clever, and convenient minivan for families. Its available plug-in hybrid powertrain is a special touch in the class. Families will appreciate features like its Stow 'N Go seats and available built-in vacuum.

Other Used AWD Minivans
All-wheel-drive minivans were once much more popular. In the ’90s and ’00s, many automakers offered all-wheel drive as an option on their vans. Choices included:
Buick Terraza (2005-06) | For Sale
Chevrolet Astro (1990-2005) | For Sale
Chevrolet Uplander (2005-06) | For Sale
Chrysler Town & Country (2001-04) | For Sale
Dodge Grand Caravan (2001-04) | For Sale
GMC Safari (1990-2005) | For Sale
Pontiac Montana (2005-06) | For Sale
Saturn Relay (2005-06) | For Sale
Toyota Previa (1991-97) | For Sale
However, all those minivans are pretty old, so they’re hard to find. If you’re looking for an all-wheel-drive minivan, your best choice remains the Toyota Sienna or Chrysler Pacifica.
Consider Whether You Need AWD
One major consideration is whether you need AWD in the first place. For many car shoppers living in regions where snow and heavy rain are rare, a FWD minivan could save you money at the dealership and the fuel pump. Those minivans still provide plenty of space, safety, and practicality. If you have a snowy climate, a pair of snow tires does wonders on a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
Besides the Chrysler Pacifica, other direct competitors to the Toyota Sienna include the Honda Odyssey and the Kia Carnival. Neither of those competitors offers AWD options, but they are great minivans.
