![]() We detected no blind spots, and could see out of the rear glass even with six occupants in place. The driving position is perfect and visibility is very good. The Odyssey rides like a large car in many ways. We observed 26 MPG in rural mountain driving with six passengers. It is smooth and powerful and the geared transmission has paddle shifters, which we actually used in the mountains to hold gears for power. 280 HP from the V6 is more than enough in all situations, including passing (trust us). The Odyssey is powered by the Honda V6 we all know and love. There is a vacuum in the rear area, but no spare tire. Our Elite also had a rear seat Blue Ray DVD system This seems like a waste of money to us in a world where every child of a family that spends $50K on its car has their own devices to look at. The Elite model offered a wireless phone charging tray, which is really not needed if you are plugging in for Android Auto anyway. That is a bit if a disappointment with so many 2021 models now offering wireless systems. Android Auto and Apple Car Play are both available, but you will need to attach a wire. We loved the Honda touch-screen infotainment system. There is simply no higher level of safety available.Ģ021 Honda Odyssey – Infotainment & Features The Odyssey also earns the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus designation. In its most recent study, HDLI and IIHS found that the Odyssey was among the vehicles with the lowest real-world driver death rate. The Honda Odyssey has long been known as one of America’s safest vehicles. It ends at 60K miles, while the Kia Sedona has a 100K warranty period. Honda also has the shortest warranty in America. Honda includes no maintenance in that price (Toyota’s Sienna includes 2 years). Our top-trim Elite with special silver paint (who pays extra for silver?) had a price as tested – including the destination fee – of $49,335. ![]() The 2021 Odyssey comes in the usual Honda array of trims. Space is the biggest advantage of this vehicle. When all three rows seats are in place, there remains a huge trunk area still large enough for a LOT of cargo. With the rear seats folded, the van has enormous space, even with the second row in place. We put a six-foot two-inch young man in the farthest seat and he had plenty of leg and head room.Ĭargo in the Odyssey is simply kooky. Space in every row is suitable for adults. Our Elite trim came equipped with two captain’s chairs in the second row and a three-across bench in the back. The Odyssey is a minivan that can be configured for either seven or eight seats. ![]() However, a minivan just seems to do all of these things better. Yes, they also have pretty good cargo with the rear seats in use. Sure, you can stuff the kids in the way-back row of a crossover. However, they really don’t do the same things that an Odyssey can. If you are a Honda fan, and on the fence about getting either a minivan or a three-row crossover, the Odyssey should top your shopping list.ĭon’t get us wrong, we love crossovers. The Honda Odyssey offers a package that only its fellow minivans can offer.
