2026 Honda Odyssey

If you’re looking for versatility in a vehicle, you can’t go wrong with the 2026 Honda Odyssey. A modern minivan, this spacious model is as family-friendly as ever, but you don’t need a gaggle of kids under your care to make good use of it. From road trips with friends to outdoor adventures with gear to errand runs to the hardware store, the Odyssey is perfectly suited to a wide range of tasks. Unlike an open-bed pickup truck, its massive cargo space is weatherproof and secure.

No matter how you plan on making use of your Odyssey, our team here at Ralph Honda can help you find a trim that’s just right for your needs. The 2026 lineup begins with the well-appointed EX-L trim, continues with the stylish Sport-L and premium Touring trims, and culminates in the luxurious Odyssey Elite, which is equipped with fantastic features, including heated and ventilated seats, as well as a hands-free access power liftgate. Each one has plenty to offer, so there are no bad choices.

Let’s take a look at some of the Odyssey’s highlights so you can see for yourself how much you can do with this van. We won’t be able to fit everything into a single article, but we can give you a sense of just what this model has to offer. If you have any questions, remember that you can reach us over the phone, online, or in person and get all of your queries addressed by our friendly team.

MSRP: $42,795 ^[a]
Horsepower: 280
Passengers: 8
Cargo Space: 155.8 cu.ft.

Let’s cut to the chase: it’s no secret that most drivers considering a van are doing so to get a massive interior, with plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Opting for a three-row SUV for this purpose might seem like the more modern thing to do, but that doesn’t mean it’s the smart choice. Looking at other options in the 2026 model year, it’s clear that investing in a minivan like the Odyssey is a great option; it offers 155.8 cu.ft. with the back rows of seats folded down.

The midsize, three-row Kia Telluride is closer to half that amount than the full figure, only offering up to 87 cu.ft. of space. Full-size offerings like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L come closer, but still can’t match it at 112.9 cu.ft. The famously cavernous Chevy Suburban falls short as well, with 144.7 cu.ft. Even other minivans like the Kia Carnival and Chrysler Pacifica are less spacious, with 145.1 cu.ft. and 140.5 cu.ft., respectively.

Of course, you probably won’t always keep all of the rear seats folded. When the seating is fully up and in action, you still have a generous 38.6 cu.ft. of cargo space in the back. On top of that, this isn’t an all-or-nothing situation. You can reconfigure the seating however you like, folding different combinations of seats to accommodate various passenger and cargo configurations. From bulky items to armfuls of groceries to particularly long items, you can handle just about anything.

You don’t have to upgrade to a top-tier trim level in order to get a great slate of features on your Odyssey. Plenty of fantastic options are standard across the 2026 lineup, so you’ll be sure to get them no matter which trim you pick, from EX-L to Elite. This includes features that are often limited to higher trims on other models, such as leather-trimmed seats and a one-touch power moonroof, which make the cabin look and feel both elegant and comfortable. Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control boosts the comfort factor, allowing every passenger to get their temperature just right, no matter the weather.

Many standard features are designed with your convenience in mind, making your life easier every day. The power tailgate and power sliding doors make accessing the cargo and passenger spaces a snap, even if you’re wrangling several toddlers or carrying an armload of shopping bags. Magic Slide second-row seats make it easy to access the third row. You can slide them back to provide extra legroom to taller passengers or bring them within reach of the front row for little ones who might need extra attention on the drive.

While the Odyssey is comfortable for all passengers, even if you have a full house of eight, you and your front passenger do get some special comforts. Heated front seats keep you warm on chilly mornings, allowing you to focus on the road ahead without being distracted by shivers and discomfort. The front passenger’s seat has eight-way power adjustment, including four-way lumbar support. The driver’s seat is even more customizable, with 12-way power adjustment. The driver’s seat also has a two-position memory function, making it easy to switch drivers quickly and comfortably, even if your partner prefers dramatically different seat settings.

The 2026 Odyssey is filled to the brim with useful tech that can keep you connected, informed, and entertained while you’re out on the road. Many tech features are standard across the lineup. For example, every trim comes with a large nine-inch central touchscreen that acts as the main interface for the infotainment system (along with physical buttons and other controls spread across both the dashboard and the steering wheel).

Connecting your smartphone to the van’s tech system is easy, thanks to standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Bluetooth streaming is standard too, so you have plenty of options for taking calls and playing your tunes. To keep your device powered up, you can use a standard wireless charging mat on any of the Odyssey’s trims. There are also USB ports located throughout the cabin, so everyone can get the power they need.

Upgrade to the Touring or Elite trim and you’ll get even more tech goodies, including some that are especially helpful for families. An advanced rear entertainment system uses a 12.8-inch high-resolution screen to keep backseat passengers occupied during long drives. You can cast media to the screen via Bluetooth or use an HDMI port, giving you plenty of options for how to get your favorite videos onto the screen.

This system also features a multi-zone audio option, letting you play the sound from the video only in certain zones of the cabin, letting parents enjoy a peaceful ride while the kids watch their favorite cartoon for the thousandth time. For even better sound control, you can get those in the back set up with headphones.

Of course, you don’t want to be completely disconnected from your backseat passengers, especially if they’re young children. That’s where CabinWatch and CabinTalk come in handy. Standard on the Touring and Elite trims, CabinWatch gives you a camera view of the back seats, so you and your front passenger can keep an eye on the kids without needing to crane your neck around every few miles. Standard across all Odyssey trims, CabinTalk amplifies your voice through the rear speakers and/or headphones, ensuring you’re heard without needing to yell.

Staying safe on the road is always important, but it’s not always easy. In a large vehicle, it can be extra tricky to stay aware of your surroundings and maneuver in tight spaces. That’s why the Odyssey comes equipped with a full range of safety and driver-assist features that help you out and make it easy to drive with confidence. The Honda Sensing suite covers a wide variety of situations.

For hitting the highway, there are a variety of sensors, warnings, and automated actions that help you avoid danger. These make it easy to stay in your lane, only merge when it’s safe, and keep a safe following distance from other vehicles:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System
• Forward Collision Warning
• Road Departure Mitigation System
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
• Blind Spot Information System

Other features are also quite useful when driving around town, on residential roads and smaller streets that have more ever-changing variables to keep track of. The Traffic Sign Recognition system makes sure you always know the current speed limit, for example. Advanced Pedestrian Detection ensures that the automatic braking doesn’t just keep you and your passengers safe, but also those walking through your neighborhood. Auto High-Beam Headlights make sure you have extra light when you need it, but aren’t blaring your brights at oncoming traffic when you don’t.

Avoiding collisions can also be difficult in a parking lot. The Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines gives you the information you need to back up safely, while the Cross Traffic Monitor provides an extra layer of security, alerting you to vehicles coming from either side while you’re backing up. On the Touring and Elite trims, you also get parking sensors in the front and rear to help you avoid obstacles.

With a range of trim levels, a spacious interior that can be configured to meet your needs, and a fantastic lineup of infotainment and safety features, the Odyssey is so versatile that it’s practically magic. You can bring just about anyone or anything along for the ride, from kids to a group of friends to a couple of big dogs to just about any cargo you can think of. And no matter what, you can rest assured you’ll be riding in comfort.
