About the 2011 Honda Odyssey

4th generation (2011-2017), first year of the redesign.

Honda positions the Odyssey as a family minivan that goes beyond basic practicality. The core appeal is flexible seating, easy third-row access, strong cargo usefulness, and road-trip comfort, wrapped in styling and technology meant to feel more polished than a typical van. Compared with rivals, Honda leans on smart interior packaging, strong everyday drivability, and upscale convenience features to make the Odyssey feel like a family vehicle people want, not just one they need.

The LX is the practical entry trim, while the EX is the family sweet spot with power sliding doors and a flexible eight-passenger second row. The comfort-focused EX-L adds leather, heated front seats, and a power tailgate. Touring brings navigation and a 9-inch rear entertainment system, while the new Touring Elite adds a 16.2-inch ultrawide entertainment screen and blind-spot warning.
