2022 Honda Odyssey // What's NEW (and What's Gone) for 2022?? 

Congratulations . It's a beautiful vehicle . I want one badly but waiting for a hybrid version .

@@marktuyet Does Honda have any timeline on a hybrid version coming to the US market? hopefully they also give it an AWD option too.

The Hybrid version is apparently coming in 2023

Congrats we bought one too like I was the first one to buy it in my city loving it so much🥰

We just bought a 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring/Elite certified pre-owned Honda (one owner, no accidents through carfax) with 45,000 kms on it last week. We bought the 8 year Honda plus extended warranty (as this thing is literally a space ship electronics wise) to cover us for 4 more years as original warranty would run out in September of this year. I'm a truck guy, a tradesman. But I have a family of 5. Let me tell you, I did not think for one second in my life I'ld ever enjoy driving a bloody mini-van.... I can't even call it that, it's just a vehicle. My wifey bought it, it's her vehicle, I still have my truck. But man, this thing is on a whole other level! It drives for you! It's incredible! With the entertainment system in the back, twins that are 2 and a 4 year old are happy as clams. And getting car seats in and out or swapping them is a breeze, since the hooks are easily accessible. The middle seats slide as we removed the middle second row one, so easy to get kids or strap them in. Highest safety rating, and those sliding doors! Omg! Lane keeping assist, heated wipers, heated mirrors, folding mirrors, 2 drivers memory, very comfortable seats. I honestly can't say enough good things about this vehicle. Of course there's a vacuum too, but who cares with so much else to love. If you have a family, this vehicle is the best thing going.

The company that produced the vacuum went under, there aren't many chips in controlling a motor that way, the shortage is not the reason.

I have a 2010 CRV and it’s not any different in snow with the AWD, the AWD is better in the rain, holds the road well, I had a 4- runner before this CRV and sorry I didn’t go back to another one, thought it would cost too much now in looking for more room hence the mini van since I’m going to nomad in it but still not sure which one to go with Toyota or Honda.

It has a 3500 lb towing it had in print when he was standing behind it

I’d get the Sienna. It has better mpg and available all wheel drive. When a van is loaded there is a lot of weight on the rear axle. All wheel drive is a must.

@@RobertJackson-sl1mk Hybrid cars outlast gas cars 2 to 1. The Sienna does not use a belt and pulley CVT. The V6 will require a lot more maintenance.

If you have ever had a hybrid and have maintained it well, as suggested by manufacturer, a hybrid will serve you well for MANY years. We loved our Prius and only traded it because we did not like sitting so low to the ground as we are getting older. We are not out for fast driving and making an impression. Definitely thinking of taking a look at the Sienna. We have had a Toyota, also, and have liked both of them very much. Good regular maintenance is the key to keeping a vehicle working well for years.

V6 + AWD would be ideal to me but new Sienna does not come with that. I guess it might be supply issue due to the pandemic. A 2.5l engine with AWD for a 5.2 metre length 2.2 ton vehicle is obviously too weak.

Subaru Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid

SK here. I never have gotten stuck and I drive a 20 year old golf with no electronic assist. AWD is usually unnecessary fad

Exactly I watched this thinking there WAS changes but it was no different

Higher price tag

No vacuum

@@smag61306 Oh great! How innovative 🙄🙄

@@Chiderah100 The supplier went bankrupt and closed. That is the reason they came out with 2022 after just coming out with the 2021 refresh. I'm assuming they'll have a vacuum back for 2023 when they can find another supplier.

The Honda Odyssey is the only thing I like from Honda besides yard equipment. But boy ohh boy, did they ever nail the Odyssey out of the park! Toyota Sienna is a close 2nd, but not very close. Every other manufacturer of a family vehicle (aka minivan) has no idea what they are doing.

Maybe you can also learn how to use the comprehensive diagnostic equipment to re-learn the throttle of this car: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tYv4dQpyN8w.html

That’s the first thing I noticed about the video is that Bhangra beats, I thought it sounded Punjabi that the dhol started playing in the background. Awesome.

Yet the Odyssey continues to outsell the Sienna. I’ll give you the Hybrid but AWD on a minivan? Get an SUV.

@@jdoncbus Odyssey = old tech; timing belt (need to change every 100k) Sienna = new tech; timing chain (last forever). I owned both Odyssey touring and Pilot touring, Honda's V6 are slow compared to competitors.

I test drove a sienna and the 4 cylinder was anemic. Hence we bought an odyssey.

At least the Pacifica is recommended by Consumer Reports. Also offer PHEV hybrid v6 that is segment best at 82 mpe!

Honda sucks. That’s why I switched to Toyota.

The pacifica felt like a boat, the Siennna like an armored car

Chrysler is junk, save yourself the headache. I wish I could go back in time and buy a Toyota Sienna or Odyssey instead of our Pacifica.

@@jvk813 Can't fully remove the middle row seats in the new Sienna. Deal breaker.

I have the same van. Reviews always miss that drawer.

That drawer is where you put your bluray movies for the kids. 😉 Well designed.

I have 2018, and yes, there is a drawer. We keep a travel power inverter in there, because the 2018 didn’t have enough AC ports when we did a full 7/8 road trip. I also want to point out that in the version featured here, the outlets don’t have little covers on them. My 2018 has little covers and one got broken off immediately! I’m not sure how nasty the ports get if they don’t have covers though.

Glad to help! Congrats on your new van!

How do you like the new Odyssey? (Thinking about getting a new Elite soon.)

Just an suggestion: Try Kia carnival 2022 its a all new refresh from Kia.

@@dharakshah1031 Kia or hyndia can’t compete with Toyota or Honda in any category, they may be getting better but never going to come close, I test drove a Kia, granted it was years ago but what a piece of junk it was, don’t remember the name, it was a little SUV , just turned me right off the brand, you get what you pay for

If you live in an apartment, where do you store your non-winter tires?

@@herbyoung2767 closet or trunk

@@herbyoung2767 You can buy a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 and use that all around. No need to swap tires every winter.

Or maybe all seasons...

agreed. All AWD does is give false sense of security. I drive a 2003 golf manual with no traction control etc and we got 78cm of snow last year. I never got stuck once. I saw people with AWD luxury brands stuck because their tires are so low profile and they think they can get through anything

You also get less mileage :P Well if you need AWD go for Hummer

Still gotta get winter tires with awd though...

Won’t replace winter tires.

Agreed! Hybrid on all trims with AWD options. I have a 2021 Sienna XSE and I’m saving a ton of $$$ on gas ⛽️ @ 36 mpg combined.

Yeah I agree.

Yeah and interior

I think the Kia is one of the ugliest vehicles on the road. That backend is horrendous.

Yea, they want a pretty penny for it too. And good luck trying to get one yet.

@@almassengale Kia can’t compete with Honda or Toyota, Kia s are junk

I think sienna is the same way. Don’t know why either

Stability control systems use rear bias in light braking. This works well but often results in the rear brakes wearing out faster than the fronts which leads some people to believe something is wrong. While the rear brakes don't need to be larger for performance reasons, I am guessing they do this to help them last longer.

I’m always for more power but I honestly prefer this to the Pacifica. Haven’t driven a new four cylinder Sienna.

Not at my Honda dealer. I just bought a brand new one 2 weeks ago and it’s a 2021. No 2022’s

@@794jewels it's strange that Honda decided to introduce a 2022 model less than a year after the 2021...could this be an emergency refresh?

HMA Line 1 where these are made isnt currently up and running

Got a 2022 elite today vin in the 200s

The Odyessy is not recommended by Consumer Reports.

Yeah I don't understand why Honda removed the rear amber turn signals. Amber IS a lightyear better and safer than red for turn signals.

Honda should offer the option of AWD on the Odyssey for those who want it. (who wants to switch to snow tires every winter, FWD can not go like AWD). Honda Corp. claims AWD would raise the height of the Odyssey and compromise storage space. The Toyota Sienna has AWD and it does not raise the vehicle or compromise space

Shop-Vac went out of business. No company, no vacuums for Honda.

They'll redesign it in 2024

Did he say that the EX doesn’t come with leather seats? I just bought a used (obviously 🥴) 2014 EX and I really like it, and it has leather seats. My sole purpose is to turn it into a camper van for when I visit my step mom, she’s a chain smoker and I can’t even sleep in the guest room with the door shut, a fan going and the window open 🥵 I get the feeling that Honda is trying to push buyers into buying the Elite level package, but omitting the vacuum due to a manufacturer not having the materials is a lame excuse, find another manufacturer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Uh if that is going to prevent you from buying a new car you don’t need a new car

@@RU-viduser1aa right ! 😂

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the review!

I just got a 2019 Odyssey EX and front passenger seat does have lumbar support as well as electronic seat controls.

What the Heck toyota sienna is a very very nice van not jokeing I don't know why do you not like the toyota sienna 🤨

@@iqsuperkid7523 it’s ugly! it looks fat, too bulky.

@@barbz_zayne lol it's a full beautiful minivan I swear

@@iqsuperkid7523 Can't remove the second row seats.

Thanks! 😊

While we have enjoyed our Odyssey 2020 we definitely DO NOT like the auto-start stop feature. A hybrid is not a hassle like this is.

Same vehicle.

I wish they still had HondaVac! If the provider could not make any, then Honda should produce them theirselves!

The grill is what made me get a new 2020, instead of the 2021. The 2021’s looked older with the black grill.

Yes, they can be fully removed 👍

It can fit under the cargo floor, I believe

That's just an effect caused by the camera

We have a specific side-by-side comparison of those two on the channel!
