Facebook Twitter Pinterest. More from Rossi Honda. Stay safe in a new minivan from Rossi Honda! How much space is available inside of the Honda Odyssey?
While Japanese versions released earlier this year include a hybrid version and an all-wheel drive version, we do not expect those versions to be available until the model year or later.
The heavily-camouflaged test model appears to have a more conservative beltline, along with a long, slightly tapered roofline. Proportions have changed slightly as well, with the front end gaining a little bit of height on the fascia. The Odyssey has long been a leader in minivan safety, and there is no reason these systems should be limited to a specific trim. Put these on top of the fact that the Odyssey regularly earns Top Safety Pick honors from the IIHS, and you have the perfect ride for keeping your friends and family safe.
Here at Honda World, we look forward to the next evolution of the Honda Odyssey. Adults can fit in any of the van's eight seats with relative comfort thanks to adjustable seats. The Odyssey sports some of the convenience features we like to see in a minivan: an in-car vacuum, rear-seat entertainment, and even a rung to hang a trash bag.
Odysseys were built for families, and it's clear that designers listened to their customers. The Odyssey earned good scores from federal and independent testers, but the van lacks some of the advanced features that others are beginning to offer. Forward collision warning and lane-departure alerts are available, but mostly in top models. Each model comes standard with air conditions; power windows, locks, and mirrors; seating for at least seven; a rearview camera; Bluetooth connectivity; power adjustable front seats; steering wheel-mounted audio controls; USB connectivity; split-folding third row; and an 8.
Higher trims add leather, rear-seat entertainment, in-car vacuums, second- and third-row sunshades, and power liftgate, but not many a la carte items are available. The van can get pricey in top trims, but this year's SE model could hit a sweet spot for shoppers looking for rear-seat entertainment and a vacuum without springing for leather seats. Style isn't the first consideration of minivan buyers—it ranks down there with easy to find roll cage mounting points—but at least the Honda Odyssey doesn't penalize buyers.
The Odyssey's overall shape has been with us for a while, but at least it's relatively handsome. We expect that it'll be replaced after this year with a new van, so the best we can do is a 6 for style here, adding one above average for a minivan that's attempting to have some presence. That so-called "lightning bolt" can be a little polarizing, but it's also functional.
It affords better visibility for rear passengers and it speaks of how the entire design balances one-box practicality with a good sense of style. Small bits of brightwork and a more arched roofline found their way to this generation of the Odyssey, and in addition to that distinctive beltline crease, there are small windows ahead of the side mirrors, which make the Odyssey look a little futuristic while adding a smidge of visibility for front occupants looking out.
In back, the look is more flared and sculpted than typical for a minivan, giving this model an aerodynamic edge and a bit more visual excitement. It's slightly wider than typical, too, which translates to a more planted look and more interior space.
Inside, the Odyssey is more function, less form. The instrument panel is familiar and upright, with a simple approach to its layout than other Honda or Acura vehicles. It eschews the touchscreen-mania for more knobs and controls for easier use, which we appreciate. Although the placement of the infotainment controls near the shifter could take some getting used to. Performance isn't the Honda Odyssey's bag, but most buyers won't be disappointed in day-to-day driving. All Odysseys are the same under the hoods and sheet metal, a horsepower, 3.
We wish there were more flexibility in the 6-speed automatic, but we like the overall car-like handling. After the numbers have been crunched, we arrived at a 5 out of 10 for performance. It delivers decisive, quick, smooth shifts while accelerating hard, but can be a little balky while cruising and lightly accelerating. The Odyssey gets more of its road manners from the Accord than it does from the Pilot.
We've found that the minivan corners with poise and control but not much harshness as a trade-off; that's because of well-tuned, isolated front and rear subframes that help avoid the queasy secondary motions that plague many big, family-hauling vehicles. We've also found that the variable power rack-and-pinion setup for the Odyssey's steering has a good, natural weight to it with even a hint of feedback. It's among our favorites across the Honda lineup.
Minivan owners already know what the world seems to be forgetting: Vans are rolling living rooms and the only way to take long, family road trips. The Honda Odyssey is built on versatility, comfort, and flexibility for interior space. All three rows—which can seat up to eight adults—can slide fore and aft, and the rear two rows can get out of the way for hauling versatility. We say the Odyssey is comfortable for up to eight, with good seats all the way around, plus there's enough open room for just about any home-improvement store run.
That adds up to a 9 out of 10 on our scale for comfort, but we don't stop there. It gets the last, hard-to-earn 10th point because: minivan. We'll stop short of saying the Odyssey's front seats are the best in class, but they're not bad either. They're relatively wide and all-day comfortable, but we would have liked a little more back and lateral support for long trips. Second-row passengers get the same amount of leg room as front-row passengers The third row is mildly comfortable for average-sized adults on short trips.
The seat feels rather low and the cushioning is definitely a step below what you get in the other rows, but in some trims it gets an armrest, and the folding mechanism is very well-designed, with a spring mechanism making it easy to do for either half with a single arm, in one fluid motion with only the firm pull of a strap.
By the numbers, there's Behind the third row there is Max out on capability and fold the second row, and there's
