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.

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.
