The Best 8 Passenger Minivans in the US

These are also known as (SUV’s) or sports utility vehicles with an 8 passenger seating capacity. They have four side doors and a back door which is used for entry by the extra passengers for entry and the loading of luggage.

Having a car with 8 seats is ideal because it has the capability to accommodate the whole family and sometimes still has room for friends! It is especially useful for trips and excursions as they are comfortable and allow you to bring everyone along including the dog! Below are some of the best of these 8 passenger minivans that are available in the United States.

The 2011 Lexus LX 570

This vehicle offers the ideal definition of luxury. It has a sporty look, is big, strong and often described as gallant! In a nutshell it is for those who are looking for both performance and a large seating capacity. Its 5.7 liter V8 engine which comes with a 6 speed automatic transmission system and a 383 horse power at 5600 revolutions per minute is testament to this fact. It can run from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an average of 6.8 seconds, pretty amazing for a vehicle of this size!


The car satisfies all modern safety concerns as the manufacturer has incorporated stability control, 4 wheel active traction control, anti brake locks and electronic brake lock distribution. It boasts the Lexus safety connection system which transmits to the driver information regarding collisions, tracks the vehicle if stolen, requests roadside assistance, and an emergency assist button for those less than fortunate occasions. The price tag is pegged at around $70,000 to $81,000 for one of these brand new minivans.

The 2011 Honda Pilot Minivan

The strength and width of this vehicle is satisfying to those who drive it. Honda definitely had quality and durability in mind when they came up with its concept. It delivers 250 horse power from a V6 engine and a 5 speed automatic transmission system to add to its power. It can run from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an average of 8.6 seconds, still pretty amazing for an 8 seater.

It offers extras such as the voice activated navigation system and Honda’s variable cylinder management technology which makes the vehicle operate in either 6 cylinder mode for more power or the 3 or 4 cylinder modes for fuel efficiency. Its seating arrangement is 3 rows making it comfortable to ride in for all members of the family. It comes with cruise control for easier handling on the road, 4 wheel antilock brakes and traction control. Its price can start from around $42,000 to an upper price of around $63,000.

The 2011 Toyota Sequoia

This is a spacious 8 passenger minivan that the manufacturers have made available in two engine options. We have the 4.6 liter 310 horse power V8 engine and the 5.7 liter 381 horse power V8 engine. The former has a 5 speed automatic transmission and the latter having a 6 speed automatic transmission. They both have the options of either rear or front wheel drives. The fuel economy difference between the two is negligible apart from the fact that the 5.7 liter has additional strength for towing, useful for family vacations.

This Toyota minivan comes with cruise control and skid plates for driving safety. Price levels do vary but range from between $40,000 to $61,000. The first two rows are spacious enough for the comfort of adults in addition to kids, with the third row adequate only really for children. The interior is not necessarily that special, however it is ‘family functional’ save for the plastic look and feel.
