You have an Odyssey (the best minivan), I take it? I think that's the only one that can properly lane center. Other vans just have lane exit prevention. There are some differences between Honda's and Tesla's implementations that Tesla owners appreciate.


I'm not the GP, but newer Hyundais seem to do a good job at this as well. And by extension this probably applies to Kias too.


Yes, Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis all share a lot of common tech.

This is especially true for their EVs built on the E-GMP platform [1]. You'd never guess it by looking at them, but the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV60 are all built on that same platform, with different bodies and interiors, along with some different suspension tuning.

The driving assistance features do vary with the trim level. In the EV6, the Wind trim has a more basic system, the Wind with Technology Package has more, and the GT-Line gives you the works.

I think the high-performance GT has the same assistance features as the GT-Line, but the GT-Line has a nicer and more comfortable interior than the GT.

My AWD EV6 GT-Line with the optional fake vegan suede seats (instead of the standard fake vegan leather) is by far the best car I've ever had.

(These trim level names are for the US models; they vary a bit in other markets.)

The only complaint about its driver assistance is that it can be a bit twitchy compared with how smoothly I can drive manually when I'm paying 100% attention. But it is great to have in case I get distracted for a moment!

Hyundai's has definitely gotten better. It's more an asymptotic approaching of lane centering, but typical drivers aren't going to mind that.


Hyundais are fantastic. Their self-steering and adaptive cruise both work really well in high and low speed situations on highways.


The Kia Carnival - it seems to lane center just fine, but maybe the Odyssey can do better.

When looking, the Odyssey just didn't have the price/value ratio, it really needs an update and refresh. The Sienna just doesn't exist.


Tesla van owners?


Owners of the 3, S, X or Y, I believe.


The Cadillac of minivans, as they say in Get Shorty.
