2018 Honda Odyssey

2018 Honda Odyssey is a family-friendly minibus with a flexible cabin that can be set up to seat eight passengers or up to 158.8 cubic feet of freight. The latest Honda Odyssey 2018 model is a much more stylish minibus than the model it replaces. At the front, the Odyssey is treated with a more modern fashion, complete with chrome grille trim and available LED headlamps. The hood of the Odyssey is a new design and has a more muscular appearance than before. The 2018 Odyssey competes against the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Sedona, and Toyota Sienna.

Inside is where the new Odyssey really shines, with a host of new convenience features designed to make life on the road a little easier. There is also a new Cabin Watch system that makes it easy to see the second row through a camera mounted on the ceiling. Connection to Honda’s third-row Magic Seat for the new model year is a new Magic Slide second-row seat. In addition to the ability to move front and rear like many second row seats, the Magic Slide system adds the ability to move the second-row seat side to side as soon as the middle section is removed. The Magic Slide seat allows for a much more versatile cabin that can be reconfigured on an essential basis.

Older children will enjoy the Odyssey’s newly available Wi-Fi hotspot and Cabin Control program, which makes it possible to control the rear seat seating system via a smartphone. That app also gives a passenger seat control to the rear ventilation system. The material is good throughout the Odyssey’s cabin, which gives the feeling of a much more premium vehicle. Packaging is excellent in the Odyssey, with many storage areas for all the modern needs of life. The latest Odyssey features a new infotainment system with improved graphics and better capabilities, including the ability to manage Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on certain models. Honda’s HondaVac returns to the Odyssey’s options list for the new model year.
