Embrace the space in all its forms
The Odyssey is here and it’s mighty impressive. Loaded with new features and technologies, the Odyssey now offers more convenience, more connectivity and more fun than ever before. With the uniquely versatile Magic Slide 2nd-Row Seats,™ passenger accessibility and comfort is at an ultimate high. To keep everyone on board even happier, the Odyssey now impressively offers available AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot and an available advanced Rear Entertainment System with streaming capability.
With the new available CabinWatch™1 and CabinTalk™1 features, it’s never been easier to see and communicate with passengers in the rear seats. From information and entertainment to navigation and trip-enhancing convenience, this is one minivan that aims to impress you and any passengers on board.
- Advanced connectivity and entertainment with new Display Audio, CabinWatch, CabinTalk & streaming video with 4G LTE Wi-Fi
- New CabinControl app enables smartphone control of key vehicle systems, audio and rear entertainment feature
- New Magic Slide™ second-row seat provides the ultimate in family-friendly versatility and comfort

The versatile interior of the Odyssey is perfect for your unpredictable lifestyle. It comes standard with a proximity key entry system with pushbutton start and remote engine starter so you can quickly get on your way. Once inside, the standard 8-passenger seating and cavernous cargo room with plenty of storage prove this minivan is far from mini. And if the kids start to fight, don’t fret. In the Odyssey, you can easily slide them apart with the new Magic Slide 2nd-Row Seats.™
These seats easily reconfigure for enhanced passenger comfort, cargo-hauling flexibility and easy access to third-row seating. In the back, simply pull on the seatback strap of the One-Motion 60/40 Split 3rd-Row Magic Seat® and it effortlessly folds away to create even more cargo space in seconds. While the Magic Slide™ seats help keep the peace, the available HondaVAC™ helps keep your Odyssey looking clean. You’ll love being in the driver’s seat with standard heated front seats, and an available heated leather-wrapped steering wheel will help keep you cozy on cold mornings.
In-vehicle Connectivity
In-vehicle connectivity is taken to a whole new “family connectivity” concept. Old-fashioned family connectivity – sometimes called a conversation – is made easier than ever with the quietest cabin in the class, and is augmented with a multitude of new connected-vehicle features and technologies, including:
- New Display Audio – featuring a new Honda-developed operating system, more intuitive menus and customizable app tiles, this 8-inch high-resolution (720P) touchscreen interface serves as the nerve center for a multitude of new audio and telematics options, including Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, and adds a physical volume knob for improved usability.
- System updates – users can download available updates to the Display Audio operating system and rear entertainment system at their convenience via 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, or USB.
- CabinWatch – using a camera, CabinWatch lets the driver and front passenger keep tabs on passengers both day and night via the 8-inch Display Audio screen.
- CabinTalk – enables the driver to talk to second - and third-row passengers though the second-and third-row speakers and rear entertainment system headphones.
- Connected Rear Entertainment System – second- and third-row passengers can enjoy streaming video on the ceiling-mounted, 10.2-inch WSVGA Rear Entertainment System through the available in-vehicle 4G LTE Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi or user’s cellphone data plan. A new “How Much Farther?” app lets passengers track the family’s trip progress.
- CabinControl – using a downloadable app, users can use a smart phone to control the rear entertainment system, rear cabin heat and air conditioning, and send destinations to the embedded Honda navigation system.
- Social Play List – part of CabinControl, Social Playlist operates like a virtual jukebox, allowing up to eight family members to upload their music choices to the audio system via their smartphones. Cabin quietness is enabled by new features and technologies including triple door seals, available acoustic front and side glass, and increased use of sound deadening materials under the floor, in the engine compartment and under the fenders, along with standard Active Sound Control technology.
New Magic Slide™ seats
A major innovation to family-friendly cabin seating flexibility is the Odyssey’s new Magic Slide™ second-row seat, easily reconfigurable for optimal passenger comfort, people- and cargo-hauling flexibility, and easy access to third-row seating – even when one or two rear-facing child seats are placed in the second row. Use modes include:
- Easy Access mode –With the centre seat removed in Easy Access Mode, the outboard seats slide laterally through five selectable positions, allowing for easy access to the third row even with one or two rear-facing child seats installed in the second row.
- Standard Seating Mode – In Standard Seating Mode, with the centre seat in place, you can comfortably seat 8 passengers.
- Separation Mode – with the center seat removed and two outboard seats in their outer most positions, providing a wide center walkthrough to the third row (and no more “Dad, he’s bothering me again!”)
- Buddy mode – In Buddy Mode with the centre seat removed, you can put two passengers within easier reach of the front seats.
