2022 Honda Odyssey: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Honda Odyssey is essentially a carryover from 2021. The only notable change is that the Elite trim loses its built-in HondaVAC vacuum.
About the 2022 Honda Odyssey
5th generation (2018-2024), second model year after the 2021 refresh.
Honda positions the Odyssey as a family minivan built around flexible seating, easy everyday usability, and stronger acceleration than many van buyers expect. Its core appeal is clever cabin packaging: Magic Slide second-row seats, a fold-flat third row, and large cargo space that can handle people, child seats, or bulky gear with less compromise than most SUVs. Honda also leans heavily on family-focused technology and a more carlike driving feel, especially for road trips and daily kid-hauling duty.
The 2022 Odyssey ranges from the essentials-focused LX to the comfort-oriented EX-L, the road-trip-focused Touring, and the more luxurious Elite. Family-friendly standouts include the EX’s flexible Magic Slide second-row seats, the Touring’s rear entertainment system and rear-seat camera, and the Elite’s ventilated front seats and upgraded audio system.

“Odyssey has the largest cubic foot capacity in its class at almost 72. Can carry the most people comfortably as well as cargo.”
“Passenger room is awesome and cargo room even with all the seats in the up position is great. Smooth ride and the most comfortable seats I've ever had besides a 1985 pillow top seat. Overall happy with decision with mini van and would recommend.”
