2014 Honda Odyssey: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Honda Odyssey is a mid-cycle refresh that makes a 6-speed automatic standard on every trim. It also brings updated styling and cabin controls, more standard features, a stronger body structure, and new driver-assist technology on upper trims.
About the 2014 Honda Odyssey
4th generation (2011-2017), mid-cycle refresh year.
Honda positions the Odyssey as a family-first minivan built around everyday usefulness rather than truck-like bulk. Its core appeal is roomy three-row seating, easy access through sliding doors, flexible cargo and seating layouts, strong V6 power, and family-friendly convenience features for school runs and road trips. Against other minivans, Honda leans on smart packaging, strong fuel economy for the class at the time, and a driving feel that reviewers consistently found more responsive than many rivals.
The 2014 Odyssey ranges from the practical LX to the comfort-focused EX-L and road-trip-ready Touring, which has navigation and rear entertainment. The Touring Elite is the feature-rich flagship, with a built-in HondaVAC vacuum, an ultrawide rear entertainment screen, and a premium audio system.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The 6-speed automatic becomes standard on LX, EX, and EX-L, so every Odyssey pairs its 3.5-liter V6 with the same transmission. Fuel economy for LX, EX, and EX-L rises from 18/27 mpg city/highway to 19/28 mpg.
Styling
Honda refreshes the front and rear exterior design and revises the dashboard and center controls.
Safety
EX-L, Touring, and Touring Elite gain Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. LaneWatch, a passenger-side camera that helps the driver check the next lane, comes to EX, EX-L, and Touring.
Tech
Bluetooth hands-free calling becomes standard across the lineup, while the LX adds Bluetooth audio streaming. The EX gains a 7-inch touchscreen, and the EX-L touchscreen changes from optional to standard. Touring Elite adds the built-in HondaVAC vacuum.
Structural
The body receives Honda’s newer ACE structure, designed to manage crash energy more effectively.

“Love love my Honda Odyssey! With the middle row seat scooted over like in the newer models, and that the middle row seats stowed away. But I still love it to bits, it's a fantastic family car.”
