Minivans are among the most useful types of vehicles on the road today, especially for those with five or more immediate family members. Minivans provide easy entry and exit, lots of passenger and cargo space, easy handling, and relatively efficient powertrains. No matter the reason you’re in the market for a used minivan, there’s something for you on this list.
Here are nine of the best used minivans you’ll find for less than $20,000.
1. 2017 Toyota Sienna
The 2017 Toyota Sienna is a leader of the minivan class, and for good reason: It’s handsome, easy to use, spacious, comfortable, and reliable. The 2017 model gained 30 horsepower over its predecessor, making it all the more tractable. All-wheel drive is available, a rarity among minivans. On our $20,000 budget, the mid-range Sienna LE offers great value, with 3-zone climate control, power sliding doors, keyless entry, and Toyota’s Star Safety System. Persistent shoppers or those who don’t mind higher mileage may also find the XLE and Limited within reach of our budget. See used Toyota Sienna models for sale near you
2. 2017 Honda Odyssey
Feature-packed is perhaps the best way to describe the 2017 Honda Odyssey. It has everything you’re looking for in a minivan and then some — including an available in-vehicle vacuum cleaner. It’s also comfortable, spacious, easy to drive, and safe. For our $20,000 budget, you should be able to find a used Odyssey EX-L or Touring with most of the bells and whistles, including leather seats, 3-zone climate control, power sliding doors, and more.

3. 2019 Chrysler Pacifica
Expressive styling and a luxurious cabin elevate the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica above much of the minivan crowd. The standard Pacifica is well-equipped and capable. The Touring-L Plus trim makes the most of our budget, with extras like a 13-speaker audio system, a second-row entertainment system with dual 10-inch screens, and more. If you’d like 30 mpg combined and up to 32 miles of all-electric range, the entry-level Pacifica Hybrid should also be available on our budget. See used Chrysler Pacifica models for sale near you
4. 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
Sharing the same mechanical core as the Town & Country, the 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan carried on even after the Pacifica replaced the Town & Country, although the 2020 model year was the last for the Grand Caravan. Aimed at being a more affordable mainstream option, the Grand Caravan is comfortable and practical, with smart features like Stow ‘n Go second-row seats that fold flat into the floor for maximum cargo space. Look for well-equipped Grand Caravan SXT or GT models on our budget. See used Dodge Grand Caravan models for sale near you
5. 2019 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon
The 2019 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon might not be top-of-mind when it comes to minivans. However, this is an easy-to-park, versatile van with a small footprint. It seats up to seven in long-wheelbase models and has sliding side doors. We suggest looking for the LWB XLT or Titanium for the most family-friendly features. Seven-passenger seating is standard on the XLT, but optional captain’s chairs bring that number down to six. If you’re happy with 6-passenger seating, the Titanium, at the upper end of our budget, comes with leather seats (heated in front), dual-zone climate control, and more. Look for models equipped with rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. See used Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon models for sale near you
6. 2020 Chrysler Voyager
The 2020 Chrysler Voyager took up the mantel of the Dodge Grand Caravan upon its retirement in 2020 as the group’s more affordable minivan option. Based on the Pacifica, the Voyager is made more affordable using more basic materials and features. Unlike many of its rivals, the Voyager doesn’t offer active safety assists like automatic emergency braking or lane-keeping assist, but it does feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment. On our budget, you can get every bell or whistle that was offered, as even the top-spec LXi is available for less than $20,000. See used Chrysler Voyager models for sale you
7. 2019 Kia Sedona
Bridging the gap between the value-focused and luxurious minivan segments, the 2019 Kia Sedona was one of the most affordable minivans when new, despite offering SUV-inspired style, a contemporary cabin, and smart second- and third-row seats that fold away to leave a cavernous cargo area. On our budget, the range-topping Sedona SX offers a lot of value. It has a Harman Kardon audio system, an 8-inch navigation screen, a power sunroof, ventilated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, LED headlights, and more.

8. 2017 Nissan Quest
The 2017 Nissan Quest, like the Grand Caravan, is aimed at the value end of the segment, with less emphasis on luxury. That works out great for you, the used minivan buyer. It means you can get a newer minivan with fewer miles compared to models that started out with much higher prices. That said, look for the loaded Quest Platinum trim on our budget. It includes features like a 13-speaker Bose audio system, an overhead-view monitor, and DVD rear-seat entertainment. See used Nissan Quest models for sale near you
9. 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
Upscale and stylish, but in a different way than the Pacifica that replaced it, the 2016 Chrysler Town & Country comes with standard leather seating and power sliding doors, among other niceties. These days, the 2016 Town & Country – the last of its line – only commands a little more than half our $20,000 budget, so we can pull out all the stops, up to and including the loaded Limited Platinum trim level. It offers a sunroof, power-folding exterior mirrors, a heated steering wheel, upgraded leather upholstery, a 9-speaker audio system, and more. These minivans are showing their age, however, so be sure to shop around for a good example. See used Chrysler Town & Country models for sale near you
