Honda moved the sliding-side-door channels to the bottom of the third-row window glass to hide them better. However, this van dresses things up a little with a deep swoop carved into its hinged front and sliding rear doors. LED headlights and fog lights are included on the top Touring model.įrom the side, the Odyssey retains the previous model's "lightning bolt" chrome belt line kink, but it's toned down. A large chrome grille runs between headlights that contain LED running lamps. The Odyssey's front end is intentionally derivative of the brand's Pilot crossover and Civic compact car, and all models now have active grille shutters to improve aerodynamic efficiency on the highway. We rate the Odyssey a 6 for styling, giving it a point for its overall presence. That distinction goes to the Chrysler Pacifica. Like the outgoing Odyssey, the 2018 model should stand out from its competitors in a parking lot, but it's not the prettiest minivan on the market.

All but the base model get all of these features, but all models get knee airbags for the driver and front passenger. On the safety front, the new Odyssey adds such features as automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warnings, blind-spot monitors, active lane control, and adaptive cruise control. More effort was also made to block noise in the cabin. Fuel economy improves, making the Odyssey the most efficient minivan in the class, aside from the plug-in Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Under the hood lies a new 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 280 horsepower, 32 more than last year. The new structure is stiffer, the steering is quicker, and there are new 9- and 10-speed automatic transmissions. Honda made performance changes to improve the way the Odyssey drives. Honda offers plenty of luxury features, too, including heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free tailgate, ambient lighting, and an 11-speaker sound system. That's in addition to the carryover in-van vacuum that comes on the top two models.

Also new are 4G LTE wi-fi hotspot capability that can power the rear entertainment system, a wireless charging pad for smartphones, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an app that lets passengers set the rear temperature and send songs to the radio. Other new features include sliding second-row seats with a removable middle section and outboard seats that slide fore and aft and side to side. It offers great space, features to rival the Chrysler Pacifica, comfortable seating for up to eight, and dynamics and power that top the segment. We give the 2018 Honda Odyssey a 7.8 out of 10. The Odyssey’s biggest highlight may be a camera that lets the driver watch passengers in the second and third rows without the distraction of having to look back, but the Odyssey is positively packed with new features.
