2021 Honda Odyssey Review

Your choices are relatively limited if you're in the market for a minivan. Luckily for you, the Honda Odyssey is so much better than the rest that your search can start and end here. The Odyssey does all the minivan stuff well — there's tons of passenger and cargo room, and its V6 has plenty of sauce to move this eight-passenger vehicle with authority. We're also impressed with the amount of technology present. Upper trims feature an interior camera system (handy for keeping an eye on rowdy backseat passengers) and a vacuum cleaner hidden in the cargo area.

The 2021 model year brings mild upgrades to the Odyssey. The grille has been redesigned to mimic those on the Pilot SUV and Ridgeline pickup truck. The Honda Sensing suite of active safety features and driving aids is now standard on all models. There also mild upgrades to the interior, including perforated leather upholstery with contrasting piping on the Elite model. Buyers looking for a little more style and extra features can wait until later this year to snag the 2021 model. But savvy shoppers looking to score a deal won't be let down by the 2020 Honda Odyssey, which we think is already the best minivan on the market.

With few changes for 2021, there's little reason not to buy a 2020 Odyssey if you're in the market now. If you can wait a little while, you might be able to get a 2020 model at a steep discount once the 2021 goes on sale.
