New Honda Odyssey Review
With unique features that focus on the family and their needs, the new Honda Odyssey in Phoenix is a formidable 3 row ride. How has the Honda minivan changed for 2026? Is it still a good value?
Get to know the award-winning minivan as we discuss its performance, utility, interior, technology and driver assistance in the new model year.
Performance
The 2026 Odyssey has a proven V6 engine that can instill confidence in the family driver. This six-cylinder unit produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
With a ten-speed automatic transmission to shift the gears, the system makes good use of every horse under the hood. Front-wheel drive provides a natural, car-like feel that parents appreciate when they accelerate into busy traffic.
With its structural strength as well as its engine prowess, the minivan can tow up to 3,500 pounds. This should allow a family to bring along adventure toys like ATVs or Jet Skis. That tow rating certainly proves that this vehicle is built to last.
With all of its improvements and Honda durability, the Odyssey easily stands up to rivals such as the Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, Kia Carnival and 3 row SUVs. And you will find No Bull Odyssey prices and selection at Earnhardt Honda. Check out our financing options.
Utility
A typical 3 row SUV has 16 cubic feet at worst and 21 cubic feet at best in their cargo hold. Compare that to the 32.8 cubic feet (or as much as 38 cubic feet) in the Odyssey cargo hold. You won’t believe how much gear it can hold. Take it on vacation and enjoy peace of mind, knowing every family member has the gear they need for the weekend, or the week!
What’s more, unlike a 3 row SUV, the Honda minivan has sliding doors. These naturally have wider openings and make it simpler to load and unload.
If you want more space, the third row folds into the floor for a best-in-class spaciousness. You can fold the second row for 91 cubic feet of space. You can also stow the third row and remove the second row seats to claim a maximum cargo area of 158 cubic feet in the 2026 Honda Odyssey in Phoenix.
Do you need more elbow room? You can remove the center-row middle seat in certain configurations. This makes it easy to choose more space or more seats at a moment’s notice. For even more versatility, Magic Slide functions let you consolidate remaining seats to the left or right.
Interior
When you test drive, you’ll notice that the 2026 Odyssey in Phoenix keeps its price in check while still providing high quality furnishings and a long list of favorite amenities. Equally important, but out of sight, targeted anti-noise measures and extensive noise insulation keep road noise out of the cabin.
Even better, it’s so well made that the vehicle is ranked Highest in Minivan Segment at JD Power. The Odyssey took the top spot in the 2025 Initial Quality Study (IQS), beating out the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Carnival, Toyota Sienna and more.
Passenger volume is a remarkable 160 cubic feet with the sunroof or 163 cubic feet without it. In all models, legroom is 40.9 inches on the second row and 38.1 inches on the third row. In fact, the 3rd-row legroom is frequently praised by Edmunds and MotorTrend for being "adult-friendly," a rarity in the segment.
As you climb the trim ladder, the cabins go from well-endowed to downright luxurious. One of our favorite features is the ambient lighting in red or blue. Luxury leather upholstery adds elegance and sophistication. Naturally the Honda minivan offers front row power chairs, including the power-ventilated function that Phoenix AZ drivers love.
Technology
Front and center, a large touchscreen keeps the driver connected and informed. You can find plenty of entertainment via HondaLink apps or use favorite smartphone apps via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Parents will appreciate Cabin Watch with its camera system trained on the backseat and Cabin Talk with its intercom-like microphone system. Parents of young children will like the option of a multi-zone audio system that can establish a rear quiet zone.
The kids will be more interested in the entertainment center and, no doubt, will like available WiFi connectivity for their own smart devices. Everyone will appreciate the multi-zone automatic climate controls to regulate the air conditioning more precisely for every seating position.
Safety
The Odyssey continues to be one of the highest-rated minivans for crashworthiness and overall safety. It has a 5-Star overall vehicle score, the highest possible government rating. This includes five stars for both frontal crash performance and side-impact testing for all occupants.
The 2026 Odyssey is recognized as an IIHS Top Safety Pick, achieving "Good" ratings (the highest possible score) across key crash tests.
Honda provides a long list of standard driver assistance to keep the family driver from straying into dangerous situations. These sophisticated systems are considered among the best available today.
Looking forward, it has a front collision warning system with an autobrake and pedestrian detection. Looking to the side, it has a road edge monitor with assist, a lane keeping assist, and a blind spot monitor.
For parking, it has a three-angle rearview camera and a rear cross traffic alert. The adaptive cruise control benefits from low-speed follow functions and lane assistance.
There’s much more to explore in this spacious minivan. Check out the trim levels and get information about 2026 Honda Odyssey prices when you schedule a test drive at Earnhardt Honda.
