Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The only engine available in any Odyssey is a 3.5-liter V-6 making 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Modest numbers for a 4,500-pound hauler, but Honda engineers tuned the ten-speed automatic to provide the best reflexes. The result is a fleet-footed, efficient, and polished sweetheart that drives contentedly. The Odyssey even changes direction with such crispness that drivers might forget they’re piloting a three-row people box. We wouldn’t mind a bit more feedback from the light yet direct steering, but the Odyssey remains the best-driving entry in the segment. Every Odyssey we’ve tested delivered a comfortable ride, but we felt the 18-inch wheels fitted to an EX-L trim we tested gave us a more isolation from bad pavement than the 19-inchers on the top Elite trim.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The Odyssey is rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, according to the EPA. In our real-world highway testing, our test vehicle outperformed its EPA estimate, delivering 30 mpg. For comparison, our long-term Pacifica managed 33 mpg. For more information about the Odyssey's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Odyssey has a lot of what parental units need. A quiet cabin helps maintain parental calm, the available in-cabin camera and PA system help maintain parental control, the household power outlets and HDMI interface keep parental options open. The Odyssey’s second and third rows are among the roomiest in the class. Those Magic Slide seats in the second-row are far more comfortable than the Pacifica's Stow-and-Go second-row seats, and the Honda's chairs can move both side-to-side and fore-and-aft, allowing for multiple configurations that keep the peace when sibling rivalries escalate. The price for that comfort is a bit less practicality and ultimate cargo space. Each Magic Seat weighs 68 pounds making removal a workout, and the sliding tracks on the floor create small obstacles for loading cargo. When we removed the Magic Seats and stowed the third row in our Odyssey tester, we were able to fit one fewer carry-on suitcase than we could in the Pacifica.
