“The antenna for radio sucks, when going under overpass or entering parking structures you have no radio. The wipers suck. It's like the wipers are not large enough for the size of window. Always leave line in center of window and 3/4 of window on passenger side does not even get touched by wipers.”
2019 Honda Odyssey: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Honda Odyssey is mostly a carryover from the redesigned 2018 model. Its one notable update is an extra 2.5-amp USB charging port in the center console on EX-L and higher trims.
About the 2019 Honda Odyssey
5th generation (2018-present), second model year after the full 2018 redesign.
Honda positions the Odyssey as a modern family minivan that makes everyday hauling easier and more comfortable. The core appeal is flexible seating, a roomy cabin, strong V6 power, and family-focused details like Magic Slide second-row seats and the fold-flat third row. Compared with rivals, Honda leans on thoughtful interior packaging, easy access, and more carlike road manners rather than all-wheel drive or rugged-image marketing.
The 2019 lineup ranges from the practical LX to the comfort-focused EX-L and fully loaded Elite. The EX adds family-friendly features such as power sliding doors, flexible second-row seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and added safety systems. Touring focuses on road-trip tools with a rear-seat camera and built-in vacuum, while Elite adds ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and upgraded audio.

4.0
2019 Honda Odyssey
(1,029 reviews)
“Very roomy interior that lets me transition from a family road trip to a cargo van. I wish the hatch would open higher. I tend to hit my head on it.”
“It would be nice if the vehicle came with HID headlights, and LED brake and turn signal lights. Also wish the 2nd row seat would be easier to remove when necessary ( too hard to take out and they are heavy)”
