The 2026 Honda Odyssey
Modern Comfort Meets Family Versatility
Standing proud as Honda's sole minivan offering, the Odyssey carries a legacy that few vehicles can match. The 2026 model rolls into our showroom with subtle updates following last year's major redesign. But don't let that fool you into thinking this van has nothing to offer.
SUVs might be stealing headlines these days, yet when you need to move eight people in genuine comfort with room for everyone's gear, the minivan remains unbeatable. This guide takes you through every reason why the 2026 Honda Odyssey deserves a spot on your test drive list.

Honda Odyssey Performance & Specs
The 2026 Odyssey runs on a strong 280-horsepower V6 engine that uses direct injection to save gas. This engine makes 262 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 3,500 pounds, enough for a small boat or trailer!
The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts as smoothly as butter. It even stops the engine at red lights to save gas, then starts it again when you're ready to go. You'll get 19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 on the highway, which works out to 22 mpg combined. The gas tank holds 19.5 gallons, so you won't need to stop for gas as often.
Honda Odyssey Interior
Step inside and prepare to be amazed by the sheer roominess of the 2026 Odyssey's cabin. Eight passengers fit comfortably with space left over for everyone's belongings. There's an incredible 158 cubic feet of cargo capacity when you remove those versatile second-row seats and fold the third row. Plus, that process is made effortless with the one-motion 60/40 split Magic Seat system.
Speaking of magic, those second-row Magic Slide seats deserve special attention - they glide sideways and forward or back on built-in tracks so you can configure seating exactly how your family needs it today (and reconfigure it tomorrow!).
Every single trim pampers you with leather-trimmed surfaces, while upper models spoil front-seat passengers with heating and ventilation through perforated leather surfaces. Natural light floods in through the one-touch power moonroof, but integrated sunshades give you complete control over brightness levels. Want the perfect temperature waiting for you? Fire up that tri-zone climate control system with your remote start and walk into comfort every single time.
Honda Odyssey Exterior
The new grille and bumpers look modern and sharp on Arlington streets. LED headlights shine bright at night, and the LED fog lights help you see in bad weather. Welcome lights are an additional option we highly recommend. They brighten the ground beside your doors - a thoughtful touch you'll appreciate during nighttime arrivals home. Rolling on either 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, depending on your trim choice, this van commands respect at every stoplight.
Color options range from stunning premium finishes, including Platinum White Pearl, Sonic Gray Pearl, and Radiant Red Metallic II. There are also attractive no-cost selections such as Solar Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, and Smoke Blue Pearl. Those tinted rear windows provide privacy while complementing any color beautifully.
Loading groceries becomes effortless thanks to the Hands-Free Power Tailgate option. Adventurers will appreciate the available roof rails and crossbar accessories you can tack on.
Honda Odyssey Technology & Safety
The 2026 Honda Odyssey is packed with advanced technology and thoughtful safety features that turn every drive into a comfortable, connected, and secure experience for the entire family. It starts with entertainment-at the heart of the rear cabin is a massive 12.8-inch Rear Entertainment System that rivals what you'd find in vehicles twice the price. Passengers can stream content from their devices or connect via Bluetooth, keeping everyone happy on even the longest road trips.
For parents, CabinWatch offers peace of mind by showing a live feed of the back seats on the dashboard display, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids without turning around. CabinTalk adds even more convenience by amplifying your voice through the rear speakers or headphones, so you can communicate clearly without raising your voice.
Inside the Odyssey, modern conveniences are everywhere. A digital gauge display, wireless phone charging, and available Wi-Fi with an AT&T data plan help keep your family connected and powered up. The 9-inch touchscreen navigation system includes a physical volume knob-because sometimes, simple controls are still the best. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, your favorite phone apps appear instantly on the screen. And with a premium 11-speaker sound system and multi-zone audio, you can enjoy your music or podcasts in the front while the kids watch a movie in the back.
Honda also prioritizes your family's safety. Every 2026 Odyssey comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistance technologies. This includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, which can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a potential collision, and Lane Keeping Assist, which helps keep the vehicle centered on the road. Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow takes the stress out of long drives by automatically adjusting your speed to maintain a safe following distance in traffic.
