![]() ![]() With the third row of seats stowed and its second row removed, our testing revealed that the Odyssey hauled five fewer carry-on suitcases than the Sienna. Once removed, the optional Magic Slide seat mechanism remains on the floor, creating an obstacle for loading cargo. ![]() Removing those second-row seats requires muscle, as the two outboard seats weigh 68 pounds each. Its square shape and low load floor mean there is a lot of space for hauling cargo, but some rivals do it better and with less hassle. Throw in a quietest-in-class cabin, a sprinkle of ingenuous tech-like an in-cabin camera that enables you to monitor the kids in the second and third rows-and the Odyssey is a hauler that is fit for the modern family. Honda's inventive second-row Magic Slide seats (standard on EX trims and up) slide both side to side and fore and aft, allowing for multiple configurations. Its second and third rows are among the roomiest in the class, and its second-row seats are far more comfortable than the Pacifica's. Hauling people and things to places near and far is a minivan's primary mission, and the Odyssey completes said mission with aplomb. For comparison, the all-wheel-drive Toyota Sienna delivered 27 mpg and our long-term Pacifica managed 33 mpg. In our real-world highway testing, our test vehicle outperformed its EPA estimate, delivering 30 mpg. The 2021 Odyssey is rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, according to the EPA. Honda Odyssey Adds 25th Anniversary Edition.2021 Honda Odyssey Gets New Face, Nicer Interior.2021 Honda Odyssey Delivers Smart Updates.The base LX model receives the same standard driver-assistance features as the rest of the lineup-including adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Other Odysseys see small enhancements such as piano black trim, revised climate controls, and new floor mats. The interior of the fancy Elite model is now fancier thanks to leather upholstery with contrasting seat piping and stitching. New headlamps flank a revised front grille while more subtle tweaks have been made to the rear liftgate. What's New for 2021?Įxpected to go on sale by the end of 2020, the 2021 Odyssey wears updated exterior styling that gives it a slightly more macho look. Honda also makes plenty of safety features standard across the Odyssey lineup, but its main rivals-the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna-do the same and also offer optional all-wheel drive. The Odyssey also drives far more pleasantly than its dowdy shape suggests and its silky-smooth V-6 engine pulls strong for highway merging and passing. Its spacious and reconfigurable interior is perfect for hauling kids, cargo, or both and it offers a collection of inventive features that are intended to make family life a little easier, all of which helped it earn an Editors' Choice award. While its name may suggest that it will turn the next family road trip into a grand adventure, the 2021 Honda Odyssey is far more likely to be appreciated for its day-to-day practicality. ![]()
