Overview

What's New

The 2023 Honda Odyssey minivan drops the LX trim, gains a Sport trim that adds exterior and interior black trim, and the entire lineup sees complimentary maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Choosing Your Honda Odyssey

The Odyssey is available in five trims; EX, EX-L, Sport, Touring, and Elite. Base prices range from $38,635 to $50,765.

Engine Choices

The Odyssey is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, and a ten-speed transmission that routes power to the front wheels. The engine is equipped with variable-cylinder management, variable cam timing, and VTEC which helps the Odyssey achieve an EPA-estimated 19 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Those ratings match the Odyssey’s V6 competitors, the Kia Carnival and Chrysler Pacifica, but are far behind the four-cylinder hybrid Toyota Sienna.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

The Odyssey stretches to 205.2 inches long and sits 78.5 inches wide which is on par with the other minivans. Inside, the Honda offers seating for up to eight (including the second-row jump seat) with 40.9 inches of legroom in the second row and 38.6 inches in the third row which, again, is about what you’ll find in the others in the class and sufficient for adults in any of the rows. Plus the middle-row slides fore and aft and side-to-side to provide additional flexibility. Cargo space behind the third-row measures at least 32.8 cubic feet which expands to 88.8 cubic feet with the third row folded and 145 cubic feet with both rows folded which is at the front of the pack. The Odyssey is rated to tow 3,500 pounds.

Safety Features

The Honda Odyssey is fully equipped with active safety technology and earns excellent safety ratings. Automatic braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, automatic high-beams, and a rear-seat reminder are standard, while parking sensors and a rear-seat monitor are additionally featured in the Touring and Elite trims. Although the Odyssey was last overhauled for 2018, Honda has ensured that it maintains top ratings from NHTSA (5-stars) and IIHS (Top Safety Pick+ and Good crashworthiness scores). The IIHS also scores the Odyssey’s vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision mitigation systems as Superior and its headlights as Acceptable.

Connectivity

All trims are equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen that is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, HD radio, and USB and Aux inputs. There are two USB ports and two 12-volt power outlets on the base trim while the EX-L trim gains two additional second-row USB ports and one more power outlet, and the Touring trim adds a third-row USB port. The Touring and Elite trims are also equipped with Wi-Fi, navigation, and a rear entertainment system with a 10.2-inch ceiling-mounted screen, a BlueRay DVD player, HDMI inputs, and a 115-volt outlet. The Elite trim integrates a cabin-talk system to help communicate with the third row as well as a 550-watt 11-speaker sound system, multi-zone audio outputs, and a wireless phone charger.

2023 Honda Odyssey Sport - MSRP from $42,505

The new-for-2022 Sport trim is distinguished by its 19-inch gloss black wheels that match the gloss black grille, headlight housings, taillight lenses, fog light surrounds, mirror housings, and B and C-pillars. Body-colored side sills and rooftop antenna are also incorporated to add to the contrasted look. The interior receives black leather with red contrast stitching on the seats and steering wheel, red-lit gauges and ambient lighting, and black pillar garnishes and headliner. The Sport is only available in black, white, or a new-for-2022 gray.

2023 Honda Odyssey Touring - MSRP from $45,745

In addition to the infotainment upgrades, the Touring trim also includes third-row shades and white ambient LED lighting.

CarsDirect Tip

While the EX is well equipped, the EX-L’s leather seating makes for easier cleaning and the additional features of the EX-L trim (especially the power tailgate) are desirable and practical.

Now With Some Spice. There’s nothing inherently sporty about minivans. With elongated bodies, a relatively tall ride height, and boxy proportions, minivans wear their purpose on their sheet metal. For the 2023 Honda Odyssey, the automaker has come out with a new Sport trim that dresses up the minivan with a sportier look.

The new Sport trim brings black exterior trim pieces, 19-inch black wheels, darkened taillights, and paint jobs that accent the dark touches. The cabin also gets a similar treatment with black leather upholstery and red ambient interior lighting. The changes don’t transform the Odyssey, but the Sport trim does look more exciting than most of the minivan’s other trims.

Beyond the addition of the Sport trim, Honda has discontinued last year’s base LX trim. That means the 2023 Odyssey is more expensive than the 2022 model. Pricing for the minivan has gone up by $4,300 to $38,635 (with destination). The Odyssey isn’t the same value option it was once, but it’s still a staple in the segment.

Flexible Seats. The Odyssey works as a great family vehicle, but can also pull a second shift as a work vehicle because of its flexible seating. For consumers looking for a roomy family van, the Odyssey shines with seating for up to eight people. All three rows offer adult-friendly space, while the large seats are comfortable. The available mid-row captain’s chairs are especially comfy and can act as recliners.

Consumers that need flexibility will find Honda’s second-row Magic Slide seats to be especially useful. These slide side and side and fore and aft, allowing owners to create their own configuration for their needs. Whether it’s making it easier to access the third row or providing passengers in the second row with the most amount of space, these seats beat anything you’ll find in an SUV.

Our main gripe with these seats is that they have to be removed to get the most cargo space out of the minivan. While Honda made it easier to remove the seats last year, they’re still a pain to take out. Plus, the Chrysler Pacifica is available with nifty Stow ‘n Go seats that fold flat into the floor, which are far more practical.

Honda Odyssey

Safety Comes First. The Odyssey isn’t as luxurious as some rivals and doesn’t come with the same amount of features as others, but it does have a lengthy list of standard safety features. The Honda Sensing suite of tech features is standard bringing forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. Blind-spot monitoring is also standard. Available features include a rear-seat monitor and an intercom system.

In crash-testing, the Odyssey earned the highest score possible from the IIHS, being awarded the organization’s Top Safety Pick+ award. The NHTSA hasn’t crash-tested the 2023 or 2022 Odyssey yet.

With Honda’s decision to discontinue the base LX trim, the EX becomes the entry-level trim in the lineup. That means the Odyssey comes with more standard features than last year. Previously, we recommended moving up to the EX trim, so seeing it become the base trim makes plenty of sense to us.

Standard equipment with the EX trim includes 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, an 8-inch display, smartphone compatibility, seven audio speakers, and tri-zone automatic climate control. While some competitors come with more standard features than the Odyssey, the EX trim makes it more competitive in the class.

Familiar Powertrain. The 2023 Odyssey continues to be available with a single powertrain. It’s a familiar one that gets the job done with pep.

The Odyssey is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and routes power to the front wheels. While the V6 engine isn’t the most powerful one in the class, there’s plenty of power for overtaking on the highway. The Odyssey’s suspension setup consists of front struts and a multi-link rear suspension that results in a comfortable ride that should appease passengers.

With a combined fuel economy rating of 22 mpg combined, the Odyssey isn’t the most frugal minivan in the segment, though its rating makes it competitive. The Pacifica and Sienna are available with electrified powertrains that bring much better fuel economy. Additionally, competitors like the Pacifica and Sienna are offered with all-wheel drive, while the Odyssey remains front-wheel drive only.

Final Thoughts. The minivan segment isn’t nearly as large or as popular as it once was, but options like the 2023 Honda Odyssey continue to show why minivans still are the best options for consumers looking for a roomy three-row vehicle. A new Sport trim and the deletion of last year’s base LX make the Odyssey more competitive against newer options, though the minivan’s old age is starting to catch up to it.

For the competition, the Chrysler Pacifica is a handy minivan and is one of the few options in the class to be available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Pacifica’s higher trims feel upscale, it has an available 10.1-inch touchscreen, and is offered with all-wheel drive. The Kia Carnival is one of the newer options in the class. It has a high-end cabin, well-equipped trims, is available with two 12.3-inch screens, comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, and incredibly comfortable seats.
