Most Affordable Vans and Minivans

The ranking of Car and Driver is based on the results of comprehensive instrument testing of hundreds of vehicle models we conduct every year, combined with the subjective experience of a professional editorial team in actual road driving. We select the best van based on approximately 200 data dimensions, covering acceleration performance, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel economy, cost performance and driving pleasure. We treat rankings extremely carefully because our goal is to give you a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in.

How We Rank

Car and Driver's rankings are based on the results of extensive instrument testing of hundreds of cars every year, as well as the personal subjective feelings our professional editors gain while driving in real life. We ranked the most affordable vans and minivans based on the manufacturer's recommended retail price (MSRP) for each model and scored each vehicle based on approximately 200 data points-covering acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value for money, and enjoyment of driving. The list includes both small trucks and size vans, most of which are available in both passenger and cargo versions.
