2023 Honda Odyssey
Overview
When it comes to family-friendly vehicles, it’s hard to beat the 2023 Honda Odyssey’s amazing list of features and overall versatility. You’ll find a spacious and comfortable minivan with space for up to eight passengers across three rows and plenty of room to spare for various odds and ends. The recently updated front fascia also adds to the minivan’s premium appeal, not to mention the plethora of driver assists and safety features that come standard across its five trim levels – LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite.
The Perfect Ride For…
Anyone with a growing family. The 2023 Honda Odyssey beckons with its plethora of family-friendly features, from second-row seats that slide forward for easier third-row access to an intercom-style system that lets you see and talk to rear passengers with ease. For families desiring a touch of luxury, the EX-L trim delivers with supple leather-trimmed seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The upscale Touring trim even comes with a 10.2-inch rear entertainment system with compatibility for the latest disc formats and a nifty “How Much Farther” app that puts an end to the age-old question of “Are we there yet?” In short, the 2023 Honda Odyssey is the perfect ride for families that are always on the go.
Drive and Handling
The 2023 Honda Odyssey gets its motivation from a 3.5-liter direct-injected V6 engine, paired with an efficient 10-speed automatic transmission. With 280 horsepower, you’ll have plenty of muscle on hand for passing duties and hill climbs. The 10-speed transmission also helps the 2023 Odyssey achieve its EPA-estimated 19 MPG city and 28 MPG highway rating, which means you’ll also have plenty of driving range for those long-distance trips.* Activating the Odyssey’s Snow Mode gives you better traction and handling under icy and slippery road conditions.
Key Features
Magic Slide Second-Row Seats
Honda makes getting in and out of the 2023 Odyssey easier thanks to its Magic Slide second-row seats. Remove the center seat and this innovative feature lets you slide the outboard captain’s chairs towards the middle for easier third-row access. You can also slide the passenger seat forward to keep younger kids within easier reach. You’ll find this feature on the EX trim level and above.
CabinWatch and CabinTalk
The 2023 Honda Odyssey also makes it easier to keep tabs on rear passengers thanks to the CabinWatch and CabinTalk features, available as standard on the Touring and Elite trims. CabinWatch lets you see what’s going on in the second and third rows, even at night, via a ceiling-mounted infrared camera, which sends the live feed to the multimedia screen. CabinTalk allows your rear passengers to hear your voice through the rear speakers or their connected headphones. Both features should cut down on strained voices and sore necks, especially on those long road trips.
Honda Sensing
No minivan is complete without an assortment of safety and driver-assistive features. As you’d expect, the 2023 Honda Odyssey comes with six of these features as part of the Honda Sensing suite. These include Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and the Collison Mitigation Braking System, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of an imminent collision. Combine this suite with optional features like blind spot monitoring, and you end up with a safe, worry-free minivan you’ll love to have in your driveway.
