The esteemed Honda Odyssey has just been updated for 2025. The updates are relatively small, and prices have also been jacked up, although not considerably. When looking at the 2025 Odyssey for the first time, you could be excused for not noticing any differences. Look a little closer, and the revised front bumper and grille catch the eye, with Honda saying they are more “aggressive,” although we think the front end still looks unimposing and quite soft. There are also larger black fog light surrounds.
Honda’s designers have added new wheel
options to choose from, including a set of distinctive 19-inch shoes for the
flagship Elite. The rear bumper has also been redesigned and includes the same
vertical reflectors as the Acura NSX. Rounding out the updates are two new
exterior colors: Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl. All models now
have a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an enlarged 9-inch color
touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda has
added some extra USB-C charging porters, fitted a wireless phone charger, and
improved the available Rear Entertainment System. It now includes a larger
12.8-inch screen, and the HDMI plug has been moved.
While the 2024 Odyssey had been offered in
EX, EX-L, Sport, and Touring trims, the 2025 range consists of the base EX-L,
Sport-L, Touring, and range-topping Elite. Ditching the EX has increased the
starting price by US$ 3,680 while the EX-L is now US$ 610 more expensive, the Sport-L
is US$ 810 pricier, the Touring is US$ 1,110 more expensive, and the Elite commands
an extra US$ 510.
Upgrades brought by the Sport-L over the
EX-L include a sportier design with darkened elements across the exterior,
while red contrast stitching and black upholstery are found inside. The Touring
benefits from a navigation system, a CabinWatch child viewing system, the
aforementioned Rear Entertainment System, and front and rear parking sensors.
Those who cough up for the flagship Odyssey will enjoy two-tone perforated
leather seats, a heated steering wheel, a premium audio system, and
rain-sensing wipers.
Like last year, all models are powered by
a 3.5-liter V6 with 280 hp and mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
