Ranking the 5 fastest production minivans on sale today

Minivans have never been poster children for speed, but today’s crop of family haulers is packing serious muscle. Back in 1984, the original Plymouth Voyager’s top engine option produced just 104 horsepower and hit 94 mph with a 0–60 mph time of 14 seconds. Modern minivans now deliver more than three times that power and can sprint to 60 mph in under seven seconds. Using real-world figures from Car and Driver testing, we rank the five current production minivans by top speed—from slowest to fastest.

All five exceed the Voyager’s top speed, proving that even the most practical people-movers can be quick when they need to be. The 2027 Volkswagen ID.Buzz sits at the bottom of the speed chart with a top speed of 101 mph in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms. Its single-motor RWD model makes 282 horsepower and hits 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, while the dual-motor AWD version ups output to 335 horsepower and cuts the 0–60 mph time to 5.5 seconds—faster than a Volkswagen GTI hot hatch. The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid follows at 106 mph, combining a 3.6-liter V6 with two electric motors for a total of 260 horsepower.

It can travel up to 32 miles on electric power alone before switching to hybrid mode, returning 30 MPG combined. The non-hybrid Pacifica tops out at 111 mph and posts EPA ratings of 18/25/21 MPG city/highway/combined. The 2026 Honda Odyssey also tops out at 111 mph but is the quickest gas-powered minivan here, sprinting to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds thanks to a 3.5-liter V6 making 280 horsepower. The Odyssey’s VTEC valvetrain balances power and efficiency, delivering EPA ratings of 19/28/22 MPG.

Next up is the 2026 Toyota Sienna at 117 mph, the fastest hybrid minivan in the group. Toyota’s hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors for a combined 245 horsepower, good enough for a 0–60 mph time of 7.1 seconds. The Sienna tops the efficiency charts with EPA ratings of 36/36/36 MPG. At the top of the speed ladder is the 2026 Kia Carnival at 120 mph.

Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 making 290 horsepower, the Carnival can reach 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. It delivers EPA fuel economy of 19/26/22 MPG city/highway/combined. While none of these minivans are track weapons, their performance figures show that practicality and pace can coexist—even if the segment’s top speed record still sits well below that of a sport sedan.
