The embedded one up there is the Sights and Sounds video:

But this link here is to the sillier "get over yourself, embrace the minivan" one.

Rough captions are in place for both. I will be busy all day tomorrow and probably can't fix captions until I'm ready to release these, but I hope you enjoy them!

I'm gonna have to think of a title for this

It'll take some thought I reckon

I have a 2017 Chevy Volt Premium that I have driven 150,000 miles. I took it in for an oil change and the checked my brakes. The dealer told me that I have only used 10% of my pads which are the originals. I only work 9 months of the year. But, I am very careful in wasting fuel and usually use my regen paddle instead of brakes. I drive 500 miles a week and use about 4 to 5 gallons a week. I really wish there was a new one that I could buy.

I have rented many minivans and that sienna is impressive with its fuel economy, but I dearly missed the ability of the second row to fold flat into the floor.

There were some amazing EV minivans shown at the recent autoshow in China. Ludicrous Feed ch from Australia showed them being used as airport transfers by Xpeng. Lots coming to Australia and New Zealand. Sorry to those in USA. Oh, btw, the Kia PV5 EV minivan launches here in May

I owned two minivans in the course of my Dadhood. The first was a Dodge Carnival. The second was a Honda Odyssey. We looked at SUVs at the time, but realized minivans were cheaper, had more room, got better mileage, and drove better. A few years after I bought my Honda Odyssey, a friend was looking at a car for his family. He was looking at three row SUVs and I told him that he should get the Odyssey. He told me he would never get a minivan. I told him that driving a minivan won’t be so emasculating that his balls will wither and fall off. It’s simply superior in every way. A few months later, I saw him driving his new Odyssey, and I asked him if they withered and fell off. One thing about the Odyssey is not only did it have the fold down third seat, but hidden under the floor was a thin seat that could be placed in between the two captain seats to make a three person bench seat. The seat was too small for an adult or even a teenager, but was perfect for a small child. Another thing in the Odyssey is that the captain’s chair on the right could slide over in the middle, and make a pathway to the third row on the right side of the car. Once our kids graduated college, we ended our minivan life. I bought a VW GTI which I loved (and so did my wife). Unfortunately, it was a two door model which meant anyone over 35 had troubles getting into the backseat. We bought a VW Golf station wagon and gave the GTI to my son to attract some babes his way. It worked. He’s getting married in June.

A counter point on the ground clearance comment in the video: I want extra clearance to handle the paved roads I encounter, especially water control features that are common on roads in California (I see and hear plenty of cars hitting their undercarriage as they navigate these road features). Some dirt roads are also better with more clearance.

No other class offers sliding doors? What about the Peugeot 1007 eh? Ok that wasn't sold in the USA and barely sold even in France, but it existed!

I think the audio mix needs adjustment. In order to hear the details of the engine sound, I had to turn up the volume until the narration was uncomfortably loud.

Amen on the minivans. The vast majority of people driving SUVs today would be better served by a minivan, for all the reasons you mentioned. I think your cargo comparison with the crossover might even have undersold the difference as most SUVs won't get anywhere near a minivan in cargo room. We could haul full size sofas in our minivan, try getting one of those into a Ford Explorer.

I still miss my '98 Grand Caravan. The seats didn't fold down, but you could remove them. With the seats removed you could haul 4'x8' sheets of material. Or put down a tarp and fill it with demolition rubble. Plus it was a V6 with AWD so it rocked in the snow.

We got a Toyota Sienna right before our first kid was born. Both our kids are out of the house now and I'm still driving a Sienna although it's a newer version. They're just so versatile.

David Sallge

I'm driving a Ford Galaxy and I'm thinking of getting a Hyundai IONIQ 9. But lately I have heard of a Minivan that seems to fit your description of "would buy tomorrow": The Kia PV5. Have you looked into that?

I mean Toyota will have a reason for doing what they're doing, but why have the usage of the Battery stop at ~45% SOC? Why not then just use a smaller battery and use more of the capacity to save on extra weight. Im guessing it has to do with a loss of capacity over its lifetime, but then the SOC limit would have to be lowered as the car ages.

If you had continued down Calumet avenue a few miles into Munster, you'd be at my parents house! Awesome video!

I have two Toyota hybrid vehicles that seems to be gen 5 hybrids with Lithium batteries and those are charging past 50% using ICE. I guess if ICE has less load than most efficient operation point it uses some power to charge battery and run the engine at most efficient regime. The 45% SOC could be due to battery chemistry difference.

I could park my Fiat Panda inside that minivan!
