Best New Minivans and Vans of 2023 and 2024

Power reclining seats with footrests, Netflix streaming, and plenty of high-definition displays; today’s minivans seem to have more in common with the average living room than their car, truck, and SUV kin. Then there are the sliding rear doors that have long defined these people- and cargo-carrying machines. The sound of bearings rolling on tracks is a song of versatility. These utilitarian vehicles are designed to handle the likes of carting kids to soccer practice to hauling sheets of plywood to a job site. Take the Chrysler Pacifica, a three-row minivan with second- and third-row seats that quickly and easily fold away to create a flat load floor. Or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which can tow as much as some mid-size pickups. Meanwhile, smaller vans, such as the Ford Transit Connect or Mercedes-Benz Metris, serve admirably as efficient but spacious delivery vehicles. Alternatively, these vans are blank canvases for nomads in need of a comfortable, compact, and affordable mobile home.

Using our extensive testing regimen, our team of editors vetted every one of the vans selected for our 2023 Editor’s Choice list. These are the best boxes around, where the most valuable performance is measured in cubic feet, not miles per hour.
