Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Honda Odyssey
5th generation Odyssey (2018-present), second year after the 2025 refresh.
Honda positions the Odyssey as a fun, modern family minivan built around real-world ease of use. Its identity centers on flexible seating, especially the Magic Slide second-row setup, a roomy cabin, family communication features, and road-trip convenience. Compared with rivals, the Odyssey leans less on hybrid fuel economy and more on cabin usefulness, strong V6 power, straightforward controls, and family-friendly features such as rear-seat access, cargo flexibility, and available rear entertainment.
The EX-L is the comfort-focused everyday trim, with leather seating, flexible Magic Slide second-row seats, and a power tailgate. Sport-L adds darker styling and red interior accents, while Touring focuses on family road trips with a 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen, a family camera, and an in-cabin PA system. Elite adds the lineup’s richest comfort features, including heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and premium audio.
