The Odyssey is the Swiss Army knife of minivans—versatile, reliable, but missing a few modern tools.
The 2026 Honda Odyssey is the go-to choice for families who value space and reliability. Its 3.5L V6 delivers a smooth 280 horsepower, making freeway merges and long road trips a breeze. The interior is a masterclass in versatility, with seats that fold, slide, and disappear to accommodate everything from soccer gear to DIY home projects. However, the lack of a hybrid option and only average fuel economy might leave some fuel-conscious shoppers looking elsewhere. If you can live with a bit of road noise and can forego all-wheel drive, the Odyssey is still one of the most family-friendly rides around. Ideal for those who prioritize practicality and proven performance over the latest tech and fuel efficiency.
