Overview
The 2026 Odyssey stands out from the pack by offering an especially thoughtful, versatile interior layout and stylish design. The Odyssey's 3-mode second-row seat is also a standout in its class, able to fold, widen for passenger comfort, or become narrower for easier access to the third row. The Odyssey remains one of the sportiest-driving minivans available - especially with respect to handling. Feature-wise, the Odyssey is the first minivan to offer an all-digital entertainment system with a high-resolution HDMI input to keep it compatible with modern electronics. For safety, Honda also claims to offer the most LATCH child seat positions of any vehicle - a total of five to easily allow four child seats of any design. The Odyssey has earned an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+, the highest honor ever bestowed upon a minivan.
Model Highlights
The Honda Odyssey is available in four trim levels: EX-L, Sport-L, Touring and Elite. All are powered by a 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine, which is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Honda endeavored to make the Odyssey's body very rigid, which helps make it one of the most refined-riding and precise-handling vans on the market. The ACE body structure with improved frontal area is intended to make the Odyssey one of the safest minivans available. Inside, Honda has worked to make the Odyssey as comfortable as possible for all occupants. The Odyssey can carry up to eight smaller-size occupants, or six larger adults in comfort. With a "3-mode" design, the second row can be folded forward for cargo, stretched wide for adult-size seating space, or made narrower for easy access to the third row - when carrying a full load of kids to the soccer game, for instance. The third row carries on with Honda's "Magic Seat" arrangement, which folds easily with a single hand strap into the cargo floor when not in use. Coupled with second-row seats that are also completely removable, this allows for a very impressive cargo capacity. The Odyssey's extensive use of sound insulation and active noise cancellation system - standard on all Odysseys means a quiet ride. Cargo capacity and storage must have ranked high on the Odyssey's design priorities. With the Odyssey's third-row seat folded down and the second-row seats removed, Honda says that a 4x8-foot sheet of plywood will fit inside the Odyssey. With the front console removed 10-foot 2x4 studs will fit. There are more than enough cup holders at 15 and the back of the center console includes a ring for easily mounting a trash bag. Altogether, the Odyssey provides 38.4 cubic feet of storage behind the third row and 93.1 cubic feet behind the second row. The Odyssey features a rear spoiler, a power liftgate, a sunroof, heated side mirrors, LED headlights, daytime running lights, fog lights, 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, leather upholstery, driver seat memory, dual-zone climate control with separate rear controls, an HD satellite radio, a 7-speaker sound system, a 9-inch touchscreen, 4 USB ports, wireless charging and device connectivity. The Elite trim adds power folding side mirrors, chrome exterior accents, 19-inch wheels, cooled front seats, an 11-speaker performance sound system, a second-row 12.8-inch display screen, voice activated navigation, a mobile hotspot, 8 USB ports, front and rear parking sensors, and a heated leather steering wheel. Safety features include active lane departure, blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation, rear collision warning, front pedestrian detection, and the traffic sign information system.
