2024 Honda Odyssey Changes
The 2024 Honda Odyssey is largely a carryover model as we await a refreshed model based on Honda’s typical five-year lifecycle. Last year saw the addition of the Sport trim and the loss of the base LX trim.
Choosing Your 2024 Honda Odyssey
The 2024 Honda Odyssey is available in five trims; EX, EX-L, Sport, Touring, and Elite. Base prices for the Odyssey range from $39,215 to $51,345.
2024 Honda Odyssey Engine Options
The Odyssey retains a naturally-aspirated 3.5-liter V6 that generates 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission and down to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available.
2024 Honda Odyssey Fuel Economy
A number of technologies are applied to the powertrain to achieve an EPA-estimated 22 miles per gallon combined — a figure that is easily surpassed by hybrid-only four-cylinder Sienna but on par with the Odyssey’s V6 competitors.
2024 Honda Odyssey Towing Capacity
The Odyssey is rated to tow 3,500 pounds, which is typical for the class.
2024 Honda Odyssey Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
The Odyssey’s dimensions, with a 205.2-inch length and 78.5-inch width, neatly align with the other minivans although it is longer than most three-row crossovers. Its 118-inch wheelbase is significantly shorter than the more recently redesigned Kia Carnival and Toyota Sienna but that doesn’t prevent it from still being spacious inside.
The second row offers 40.9 inches of legroom and 39.5 inches of headroom and a push-button seat-slide mechanism to provide easy access to the third row. Those in the far back are given 38.6 inches of legroom and over 38 inches of headroom. The cargo space behind the rearmost seat utilizes a deep well space to swallow up to 32.8 cubic feet of stuff.
The third-row seats, while not power-operated, can quickly fold with one motion into the cargo well, creating a flat floor and 88.8 cubic feet of space. The second-row seats don’t fold into the floor as they do in certain Chrysler Pacifica trims, however, they can be slid laterally and are designed to be removed without the use of any tools. With everything out of the way, the Honda’s interior offers 145 cubic feet of space.
2024 Honda Odyssey Safety
All Odyssey trims are equipped with the full suite of safety systems such as automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic monitoring, adaptive cruise control with lane centering and low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams. The Touring trim gains parking sensors and an interior camera that can display those riding in the second and third-row seats even at night.
Despite the Odyssey’s relative age, Honda’s continuous updates to the chassis helped the Odyssey win the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award while NHTSA grants the minivan its highest five-star rating for crashworthiness.
2024 Honda Odyssey Technology
The Odyssey lineup starts off very well equipped in terms of connectivity with an eight-inch touchscreen for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (which are wirelessly connected on the Sport and up trims), SiriusXM, HD Radio, and CabinControl that allows any passenger to control the audio system, add to playlists, and adjust the rear climate control through the Honda app.
On the Touring and Elite trims, the app can be used to send address information to the navigation system and act as a remote for the 10.2-inch-screen rear entertainment system. The Touring trim also adds an HDMI input and a 110-volt outlet, which is in addition to the four USB outlets and three 12-volt power outlets provided by the EX-L trim. A front-row to third-row microphone system is also included in the Touring as is remote connectivity. The Elite trim is the only trim to receive the upgraded 550-watt 11-speaker sound system and a wireless phone charger.
