Odyssey LX ($28,825) seats seven on cloth upholstery. The only mechanical differences among them are wheel material and size. Model LineupĪll 2014 Honda Odyssey models use a 248-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel drive and have a 3500-pound tow rating. Dodge Grand Caravan and Nissan Quest are the primary alternatives to the Honda and Toyota. Odyssey's main competition is the Toyota Sienna, which offers more choices with a four-cylinder engine, a sport model and available all-wheel drive Sienna does not offer eight seats, however. Blind-spot and lane-departure warnings, the LaneWatch right-side camera view, and forward collision warning are optional. Six airbags including three-row side curtains are standard. The Honda 248-hp V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission lead the class in fuel economy without lagging in performance.Ĭomfort and poise are excellent, even with six large people on board. Odyssey's third-row seats set a new standard in legroom, with as much space as the front seats in a Cadillac Escalade or even the Odyssey itself. Unless you need all-wheel drive or you tow a big car or boat, the Odyssey should work. The Odyssey is less expensive than a luxury SUV, gets better fuel economy, and has more cargo room, with greater flexibility in how the space is configured. A minivan often handles better and is generally more space and fuel-efficient. If you need a true mini-van, you might consider the Mazda5.įor many uses, and especially for carrying people, a Honda Odyssey or one of its competitors makes more sense than a full-size sport-utility or crossover. The Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Nissan Quest, and Kia Sedona are big passenger vehicles, most stretching past 16 1/2 feet in overall length. Though still called a minivan, there is nothing mini about the modern minivan. (The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is a lobbying organization for the auto-insurance industry.) It is the first van to earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, including a Good rating in the small overlap front crash test. And the 2014 Odyssey is safer yet, with more warning systems and driver assists, a benefit of its revised structure for 2014. Noteworthy equipment updates include Bluetooth and Pandora as standard equipment and the industry's only built-in vacuum cleaner, which works better than any cordless vacuum we've used and better than most corded handhelds.
The Honda Odyssey was thoroughly redesigned and re-engineered for the 2011 model year, marking a new generation of one of America's favorite multi-purpose vehicles.įor 2014, Odyssey gets minor tweaks to trim that freshen its appearance. Best of all, it's loaded with conveniences designed to simplify life. Odyssey can carry 4×8 plywood flat on the floor, with 10-foot-long boards can be stacked on them, extending between the front seats when the convenient removable console is taken out. It can tow a small trailer with a motorcycle or watercraft. It can carry a family of eight, or half a high-school soccer team, with all their coolers, balls, tents, shoes, whatever. The Honda Odyssey is about function and making family life easier.
