About Honda Odyssey LX
The 2017 Honda Odyssey is likely riding off into the sunset this year—burger wrappers, pulverized cereal, lost Legos and all. For 2018, a new van replaced it, but the Odyssey remains one of the most versatile and comfortable family vehicles on the road.
The Odyssey is available in EX, SE, EX-L, Touring, and Touring Elite trims, with prices ranging from just over $30,000 for the base LX model to more than $43,000 for the Touring Elite.
Honda has added sound-insulating windshields to more models for 2017, as well as making family features like rear-seat entertainment systems and in-car vacuums available on more models.
Three-row crossovers look great, but the third-row seats are often cramped and leave little room for luggage. The Odyssey’s third row can comfortably seat two adults and leaves 38.4 cubic feet behind them for luggage and kid stuff. The second-row seats slide forward for easy access, and the middle second-row seat even slides forward so front passengers can care for children in car seats. And the Odyssey’s smooth V6 engine achieves an EPA-estimated 22 combined mpg, which is about as good as it gets for a regular minivan these days.
These characteristics are just a taste of what makes the Odyssey one of the best buys in the class. On the downside, the Odyssey’s limited trim levels and options can make it one of the more expensive vans on the market, and it’s worth noting that this is the final year for this generation (a new Odyssey arrives for the 2018 model year with engine, feature and design upgrades). However, if you want a lot of space and peaceful family driving, you owe it to yourself to consider the Odyssey. Your younger self would be pleased.
