Pros

Configurable second-row seats are very useful
Packed with modern safety and tech features
Strong V6 engine and stable handling make it enjoyable to drive

Cons

Mediocre fuel economy
No power-folding third-row seats
Overly vigilant forward collision warning system is frustrating

What's new

The Odyssey is unchanged for 2024
Part of the fifth Odyssey generation introduced for 2018

Overview

Got kids? You need a minivan like the 2024 Honda Odyssey, especially if they're little and you're loading them into and out of child safety seats. Those sliding side doors will save your back, and minivans like the 2024 Odyssey have so much cargo space there is no need to pack light, or even with care. Just throw your stuff in and go. When you think about it, minivans are the ultimate active lifestyle vehicles, ready for whatever, whenever, unless it requires rock crawling or water fording. And you're not really planning to do any of that, are you?

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Honda Odyssey EX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.52 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Magic Slide seats

Admittedly, Honda might be overselling its Magic Slide second-row seats. There's nothing magic about them. But they're terrific. You can slide the center seating section closer to the front seats to put a child closer to parents, or you can remove and store that section. Removing it turns the bench-style seat into two individual chairs. Alternatively, you can slide one of them over to create a large pass-through to the third-row seat, or you can slide them both toward the middle to put children closer to the middle of the minivan, where they're safer in a collision. So while they're not magic, Honda could easily call them Awesome Slide seats.

Competitors to consider

Few alternatives to the Odyssey exist, and each one offers something you can't get with the Honda. For example, the Chrysler Pacifica offers available all-wheel drive or a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Kia Carnival has a sense of style and lounge-style second-row seating. The Toyota Sienna has a standard hybrid powertrain and available all-wheel drive. But we like the Odyssey, as you'll see by reading the Edmunds Expert Rating below.

What’s it like to live with?

When Honda last redesigned the Odyssey for the 2018 model year, Edmunds added one to its long-term testing fleet, putting 20,000 miles on the minivan in a year's time. The Odyssey hasn't changed much since then, so our findings still apply to the 2024 model. Be sure to read the Edmunds long-term road test of the Honda Odyssey to learn more.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Great

8.1

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Odyssey drive? The Odyssey just might be the exception where it is OK to use the words "minivan" and "fun" in the same sentence. Its V6 engine offers enough power for your merging and passing needs even when you've got the cabin full of passengers. In our testing, the Odyssey Elite accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, essentially an average time for a V6-powered minivan.

Precise steering and stable braking and handling give the Odyssey a confident presence both on the highway and along tighter roads. Is the Odyssey sporty? Not really. But it is well sorted and enjoyable to drive. Everything feels cohesive.

A smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission unobtrusively chooses the proper gear for the situation. Standard steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are nice if you want to shift for yourself. If we had to nitpick, it'd be that the engine stop-start system (it turns the engine off at stoplights to save fuel) is a bit unrefined, but it can be disabled.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Odyssey? The Odyssey's front seats are great for logging miles on extended drives. The second-row seats are equally suited for kids or adults. Third-row legroom is limited, but two grown-ups can survive back there for shorter distances. Our Odyssey Elite's 19-inch wheels likely gave it a firmer ride than the smaller available wheel options (smaller wheels mean more absorbent tire sidewalls). But generally speaking, there aren't many bumps the Honda can't absorb with ease.

Wind and road noise in the Odyssey isn't intrusive. The available cabin intercom system is also pretty cool. A microphone picks up your voice and broadcasts it to the rear of the van via the speakers or through the rear entertainment system's headsets. Now you can say, "Stop touching your sister!" without having to turn your head around to shout it.

Build & Price

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? A minivan should make your life easier, and the Odyssey does. Sliding rear doors will always beat the traditional doors of a crossover SUV when it comes to getting kids in and out. The height of the first two rows of seats makes them easy to slide right into. The second-row seats recline and also slide sideways with only moderate effort, allowing superior access to the third row.

Both the driver's seat and the steering column offer a wide range of adjustment, and finding a natural driving position is a cinch. Those with longer legs, however, might wish for extended thigh support from the lower cushion. Our biggest gripe is the mediocre visibility up front and over the shoulder. The windshield roof pillars and side mirrors are bulky. And while the rearview cameras are nice, a surround-view camera would be optimal. Honda doesn't offer one.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Honda's infotainment system has big virtual buttons and snappy responses. You can customize the layout of the screen's virtual buttons. The Garmin-based navigation graphics and menus, though, seem archaic compared to newer systems. And some operations, including voice commands, are a little hard to figure out. We preferred to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto apps instead during our testing.

The tech in the Odyssey is hit or miss. The rear cabin camera monitor (in lieu of the sunglass mirror) and cabin intercom are certainly useful. But some of the advanced driver aids, such as adaptive cruise control, respond sluggishly and are prone to false positives. We avoided using them.

Storage

9.0/10

How’s the storage? Few vehicles can best a minivan here. The storage well behind the third row is deep and perfect for grocery bags. The third-row seats are lifted and lowered manually, which requires a little muscle, but the strap handle system is easy enough to use. The Odyssey has an impressive max capacity of 144.9 cubic feet of storage with the third row lowered and the second-row seats taken out. The second-row seats are bulky and hard to remove, yet their side-to-side adjustability is a helpful storage solution if you don't need a fully flat floor.

When it comes to installing car seats, the Odyssey sets the bar. Not only are the lower car seat anchors extremely accessible, but booster-age kids will also find it easy to put on their own belts.

Fuel Economy

6.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Odyssey Elite, which is what we tested, gets 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's average for a minivan. On our real-world evaluation route, which is primarily composed of highway driving, we observed 21 mpg. This indicates the Odyssey might underperform with respect to the EPA's estimates.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Odyssey a good value? The Odyssey Elite trim level that we tested is pricey, no question. But the fundamentals of the Odyssey are available for much less. Even the base trim captures the Odyssey's best qualities: smooth power, comfortable seating and an open, airy cabin. Warranty-wise, Honda is on par with competitors — most offer three years/36,000 miles of basic and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance is also typical and provided for the length of the basic warranty.

Wildcard

8.0/10

As a kid-mobile, the versatility of a minivan is unbeatable. As road trip transport for five or six adults, the Odyssey is nearly as accommodating. And for the weekend home improvement warrior, it's a cavernous, lockable space for all your stuff. Not convinced it's cool? This one also drives like a car and has flexible seating, USB ports galore and in-cabin tech to keep everyone entertained.

Which Odyssey does Edmunds recommend?

When it comes to value, you can't beat the base Honda Odyssey EX. It is well equipped with everything you need and nothing you don't, though if you want some of the many upgrades available on more expensive versions of the Odyssey, and your budget allows it, by all means upgrade. But we'd stick with the cloth-lined EX and spend the savings on epic road trips.

This is the ultimate family vehicle. Honda has thought of everything with this car. It makes mom life easier with alot of hands free features like the kick open tailgate and the doors that open with the fob. The magic side seats are a back saver if you have little ones in car seats.

This is the worst AC I have ever seen. This is a brand new 2023. This vehicle has all the family friendly features but the AC is the sbsolute worst I have ever seen.

Best Minivan Comparison: Kia Carnival vs. Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica

NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Honda Odyssey, but since the 2024 Honda Odyssey is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

Mark Twain may or may not have once said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." We feel the same about the minivan. Once the go-to for expanding families, the minivan has taken a back seat to the midsize SUV over the last couple decades. However, we are here to tell you…

Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica

Our favorite minivan is the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid for its plug-in hybrid powertrain. But among conventionally powered models, we think the Odyssey is more appealing than a Pacifica with a V6 engine. Though the Chrysler is available with all-wheel drive and offers Stow 'n Go seats that collapse into large storage wells under the minivan's floor, it otherwise comes up short compared to the Honda. Learn more about the Chrysler Pacifica from our long-term road test.

Honda Odyssey vs. Kia Carnival

The Kia Carnival replaced the Kia Sedona in 2022. It has a better sense of style than most minivans, comes with an excellent warranty, and offers unique second-row lounge seats for a VIP travel experience. However, the Carnival isn't as rewarding to drive as the Honda Odyssey, and we've found some of the onboard tech to miss the mark. Still, if the main reason you don't want a minivan is because of the styling, check out the Kia, which looks more like a crossover SUV inside and out.

Compare Honda Odyssey & Kia Carnival features

Honda Odyssey vs. Toyota Sienna

Thanks to its standard hybrid powertrain, the Toyota Sienna is far more fuel-efficient than the Honda Odyssey. In addition, you can get a Sienna with all-wheel drive, a feature unavailable on the Odyssey. However, you cannot remove the Sienna's second-row seats, and that limits the minivan's maximum cargo space and utility. The Sienna's drivetrain also lacks power and makes plenty of noise. You can learn more by reading the Edmunds long-term road test of a 2021 Sienna.

Collision Mitigation Braking System: Warns the driver if a potential collision may occur and can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or minimize the impact of a crash.
Road Departure Mitigation System: Warns the driver if the Odyssey starts to drift out of the lane and can apply steering and/or braking to coax the minivan back into the lane.
Lane Keeping Assistance: Makes small steering adjustments to help a driver keep the Odyssey in the center of the lane.
