The new 2021 Honda Odyssey is far more likely to be appreciated for its day-to-day practicality. Its spacious and reconfigurable interior is perfect for hauling kids, cargo, or both and it offers a collection of inventive features that are intended to make family life a little easier. The Odyssey also drives far more pleasantly than its dowdy shape suggests and its silky-smooth V-6 engine pulls strong for highway merging and passing. Honda also makes plenty of safety features standard across the Odyssey lineup, but its main rivals—the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna—do the same and also offer optional all-wheel drive. The 2021 Odyssey wears updated exterior styling that gives it a slightly more macho look. New headlamps flank a revised front grille while more subtle tweaks have been made to the rear liftgate. The interior of the fancy Elite model is now fancier thanks to leather upholstery with contrasting seat piping and stitching. Other Odysseys see small enhancements such as piano black trim, revised climate controls, and new floor mats. The base LX model receives the same standard driver-assistance features as the rest of the lineup—including adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Pricing and Which One to Buy LX: $32,000 (est.) EX: $36,000 (est.) EX-L: $40,000 (est.) Touring: $47,000 (est.) Elite: $49,000 (est.) Go with the EX-L. The LX and EX come well-equipped, but the EX-L adds luxury features that families will love, such as leather seats, extra USB ports in the rear, and a power-operated rear liftgate. Honda hasn't released pricing for the 2021 Odyssey yet, but we're not expecting them to creep much higher than they are now. We'll update this story with actual pricing once we receive that information from the manufacturer. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Fleet-footed, efficient, and polished, the Odyssey's powertrain is a sweetheart that requires zero compromises. The Odyssey changes direction crisply, and from behind the wheel, it's easy to forget you're piloting a three-row van. The steering is direct and the effort is light, but more feedback from the road would be welcome. Driving enthusiasts won't rave—it's still a minivan, after all—but the Odyssey is the best-driving minivan, and its nimbleness makes it competent in corners and easy to drive on narrow roads. Our Elite test van's ride wasn't as compliant as that of our long-term Pacifica, but its standard 19-inch wheels could be partly to blame. Our EX-L test vehicle wore 18-inch wheels and seemed better-suited to pockmarked Michigan roads. Over most road surfaces, the Odyssey displays a comfortable ride, and few passengers will complain. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The 2020 Odyssey was rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, according to the EPA, and we expect similar ratings for the 2021 model. In our real-world highway testing, our test vehicle outperformed its EPA estimate, delivering 30 mpg. For comparison, the all-wheel-drive Toyota Sienna delivered 27 mpg and our long-term Pacifica managed 33 mpg. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Hauling people and things to places near and far is a minivan's primary mission, and the Odyssey completes said mission with aplomb. Its second and third rows are among the roomiest in the class, and its second-row seats are far more comfortable than the Pacifica's. Honda's inventive second-row Magic Slide seats (standard on EX trims and up) slide both sides to side and fore and aft, allowing for multiple configurations. Throw in, a quietest-in-class cabin, a sprinkle of ingenious techs—like an in-cabin camera that enables you to monitor the kids in the second and third rows—and a and the Odyssey is a hauler that is fit for the modern family. Its square shape and low load floor mean there is a lot of space for hauling cargo, but some rivals do it better and with less hassle. Removing those second-row seats requires muscle, as the two outboard seats weigh 68 pounds each. Once removed, the optional Magic Slide seat mechanism remains on the floor, creating an obstacle for loading cargo.
