Edmunds' Expert Review
by Will Kaufman
Pros
- Configurable second-row seats are very useful
- Packed with modern safety and tech features
- Strong V6 engine and stable handling make it enjoyable to drive
- Impressively quiet in the top Elite trim level
Cons
- Second-row seats can be hard to remove
- No power-folding third-row seats
- 360-degree camera is not on the options list
What's new
- No changes for 2019
- Part of the fifth Odyssey generation introduced for 2018
The SUV may be a popular solution to the vehicular needs of a family, but in truth SUV buyers are missing out on the unparalleled packaging and capability of the modern minivan. No SUV can match the 2019 Honda Odyssey for ease of use or flexibility. It doesn't hurt that the Odyssey comes standard with a strong V6 and comfortable seats and has a list of available features longer than a junior-high choir recital.

The current generation of Odyssey debuted just last year, and it either added or evolved a slew of features that parents or practically minded people should appreciate. The configurable second-row seats are sure to be a favorite, and the night-vision-equipped, zoomable cabin camera makes checking in on passengers a cinch. Remember, it's never too soon to teach your kids about panopticism.
This 2019 Odyssey is, in most ways, a cut above the competition. It seasons Honda's clever packaging with the carmaker's sharp driving characteristics, making for a vehicle that's a thoughtful and enjoyable family hauler. Three-row SUV owners won't know what they're missing.
You can find out even more about the upgrades to this generation of Odyssey in our First Drive.
Notably, we picked the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon as one of Edmunds' Best Family Cars for this year.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
8.1 / 10Thanks to its long list of technology and convenience features, strong performance and cleverly optimized interior space, the 2019 Honda Odyssey is a great pick for a minivan. Not many vehicles are both this practical and this pleasant to live with.
Trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Honda Odyssey Elite (3.5L V6 | 10-speed automatic | FWD).
Scorecard
| Overall | 8.1 / 10 |
| Driving | 8.0 |
| Comfort | 8.0 |
| Interior | 8.5 |
| Utility | 9.0 |
| Technology | 8.0 |
Driving
8.0The 2018 Honda Odyssey is the driver's choice in the minivan class. A strong V6 gives you plenty of power for passing, while the van's precise steering and stable handling instill confidence. It's still by all accounts squarely a minivan, but it rarely seems that way from the driver's seat.
Acceleration
8.0There's a lot of parity in the minivan class, but the Odyssey's V6 stands out with its smoothness and willingness to rev. Even with passengers aboard, the Odyssey's V6 makes quick work of accelerating up to highway speeds or passing traffic, taking just 7.6 seconds to get up to 60 mph.
Braking
7.5In routine driving, the brake pedal is easy to modulate and has solid stopping power. Panic braking reveals a soft initial pedal feel, firming up appropriately with pressure. We achieved consistent emergency stops from 60 mph in a respectable 123 feet.
Steering
8.0At lower speeds, the Odyssey has precise, relatively quick steering that's light for easy parking-lot maneuvering. At highway speeds, steering reactions calm down for stability. There's little on-center feel but it tracks straight, has good feedback, and is still responsive to small steering inputs.
Handling
8.5If handling is important to you, the Odyssey is easily the segment leader. It's communicative and responsive, which makes wheeling around town in a minivan more fun than it ought to be. The suspension is also able to handle bumpy roads without ever feeling overwhelmed.
Drivability
8.0Ten speeds might seem excessive, but the transmission's quick shifting is unobtrusive and good at selecting the best gear for your needs. Paddle shifters are standard, which is a nice touch, too. The V6's auto stop-start system is a little rough at times, but it can be disabled if desired.
Comfort
8.0We like how the Odyssey is comfortable in all three rows of seating. Whether you've got a van full of kids on a road trip or you're just taking your friends out to dinner, the Odyssey should keep everyone happy.
Seat comfort
8.0The front seats are comfortable and supportive, so they're perfect for logging a lot of miles. The second row's outboard seats are similarly comfy with soft padding and thin folding armrests. The third row is acceptable for adults on shorter trips, though footroom is limited.
Ride comfort
7.0In general, the Odyssey rides smoothly over bumps. The suspension tuning is a little firmer than the norm, however, and that stiffness, along with the Elite's 19-inch wheels, means it can get a little jittery over rough pavement.
Noise & vibration
8.0In Elite trim, the Odyssey is superbly quiet at highway speeds. Credit goes to the active noise cancellation system and the new noise-reducing body and windshield and windows. The 10-speed auto keeps engine rpm low at cruising speed, too.
Climate control
8.0Automatic tri-zone climate is standard on most Odysseys, as are heated front seats. The front air vents blow hard if you crank up the fan speed. The second row's air vents are mounted in the door pillar rather than overhead, so it's hard to direct air to kids in rear-facing safety seats.
Interior
8.5A minivan should make your life easier, and the Odyssey comes through in stellar fashion. It's easy to get in and out, particularly because of the new lateral sliding function for the second-row seats. The mediocre outward visibility is the only downside.
Ease of use
9.0All main controls that you frequently use are physical buttons, and the layout is logical. The gauge cluster is almost all digital, and it presents information in a clear manner. Power-sliding doors come standard on EX models and up.
Getting in/getting out
9.5Sliding rear doors win over a crossover's traditional doors for ease of use every time. Up front, it's easy to slip into the seats without so much of a level change. The front doors need a good tug to close, though. The multi-sliding second-row seat gives superb access to the third-row seat.
Driving position
8.0It's a natural driving position and, at times, the driving experience is surprisingly sedanlike. The driver's seat has a lot of adjustment range for vertical and horizontal. The steering wheel has a broad range of manual adjustability. There isn't a lot of room to stretch in the footwell, though.
Roominess
9.0The Odyssey is one of the most effective people movers you can get. There is room for adults in all three rows. Legroom is plentiful in second row. The reclining third row is adequate for full-size adults, but it's on the cozy side. Space behind the third row is deep and wide.
Visibility
6.0It's a little hard to gauge where the front ends, and the view over the shoulder can be blocked by the second-row headrests. The front pillars and mirrors are of typical minivan size, but Honda doesn't offer a surround-view camera system, which is its only real weakness.
Quality
8.0Overall, the Odyssey looks modern and upscale inside, with leather seats and soft-touch material on most surfaces that you come in contact with. Everything is solidly put together with consistent panel gaps and tolerances; there were no squeaks or rattles during our test period.
Utility
9.0The Odyssey is still great at being a minivan. It seats up to eight passengers and has plenty of room for your personal items and bigger and bulkier cargo. The second-row seatbacks don't fold flat, so the whole seat will have to be removed manually for maximum cargo space.
Small-item storage
9.0There's plenty of small-item storage. Up front, there's a spot below the center stack for handbags, and the center storage bin is huge. Thirsty? You've got cupholders everywhere for all the rows.
Cargo space
9.0The storage well behind the third row is always useful for grocery bags. Those third-row seats aren't power-operated, but the strap and handle system is easy enough to use. Max capacity is above average at 155.8 cubic feet. The second-row seats are bulky and hard to remove.
Child safety seat accommodation
9.0LATCH anchor points are easily accessible for the second- and third-row outboard seats. We've yet to test the Odyssey with the second-row middle seat installed. The sliding second-row seat feature is super helpful. The seat contouring is flat, and there's plenty of room for rear-facing safety seats.
Technology
8.0Up front is an 8-inch touchscreen display that runs Honda's latest software system. It boasts modern graphics and is impressively quick to respond to your finger touches and slides. Modern features such as the rear cabin camera and the intercom are useful.
Audio & navigation
9.0Honda's infotainment system has big virtual buttons and snappy response. Organization is customizable, with smaller button shortcuts at the header. But some of the navigation operations are a little hard to figure out. The rear cabin camera monitor is neat, as is the intercom feature.
Smartphone integration
7.5The Odyssey comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims like this have two second-row USB charge ports.
Driver aids
5.5Adaptive cruise control is laggy and doesn't feature stop-and-go capability. It will probably frustrate anyone following you. Lane keeping also feels subpar, with weak intervention and guidance that ping-pongs you within your lane. Lane departure and blind-spot warning work perfectly.
Voice control
7.0Voice controls work with navigation, front-row entertainment and telephone systems. While you don't have to follow a specific script, it works better when you know its structure. A long press on the voice button provides access to your smartphone voice control system.
Which Odyssey does Edmunds recommend?
If you're on a budget, we recommend the EX trim. For not a lot more money, you get active safety features and driver aids, conveniences such as power-sliding doors and three-zone climate control, and the desirable second-row Magic Slide seats. If you're looking for more, try the Touring, which gives you tons of extra features — including a built-in vacuum cleaner and rear-seat monitoring system — and the excellent 10-speed automatic transmission.
2019 Honda Odyssey models
The 2019 Odyssey comes in six trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L with Navi and RES, Touring and Elite. In typical Honda fashion, there aren't any packages or stand-alone options offered so finding the Odyssey you want largely comes down to picking a trim that matches your desired features and budget. All Odysseys come with a 3.5-liter V6 (280 horsepower, 262 pound-feet of torque) and front-wheel drive. The first four trim levels come with a nine-speed automatic and the Touring and Elite have a 10-speed automatic. There's seating for seven passengers in the LX and eight passengers in everything else.
The Odyssey LX starts you off with features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, a rearview camera, automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split folding third-row seat, a 5-inch central display screen, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a seven-speaker sound system.
Next up is the EX, and it's here you get features that really start to make your life easier. These include power-sliding rear doors, keyless ignition and entry, remote engine start, three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, enhanced sliding functionality for the second-row outboard seats (Magic Slide), a removable center seat and second-row window sunshades. The EX also has more modern tech with its 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and satellite and HD radio. But, wait, there's more! Honda also fits this trim level with extra driver safety aids that include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist.
Honda starts to crank up the luxury with the EX-L. You get a sunroof, a noise-reducing windshield, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power liftgate, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory settings, and two charging USB ports for the second row.
The EX-L with Navigation and Rear Entertainment System is similar but adds, as its name implies, a navigation system and a rear-seat entertainment system. The latter includes a 10.2-inch overhead display, a Blu-ray player and an HDMI input. This version of the EX-L also has a 110-volt power outlet and a cabin intercom system, which broadcasts the driver's or front passenger's voice to the rear seating areas.
Moving up to the Odyssey Touring gets you the above, plus front and rear parking sensors, LED headlights, automatic engine stop-start, a hands-free liftgate, an integrated vacuum cleaner, a rear-cabin camera monitoring system (CabinWatch), and an onboard 4G LTE connection with a Wi-Fi hotspot and HondaLink services.
Finally, the Elite tops off the Odyssey range with 19-inch wheels, power-folding mirrors, noise-reducing glass for the front and rear windows, ventilated front seats, an 11-speaker premium audio system and a wireless phone charger.

Pretty Good Minivan

2019 Honda Odyssey Touring 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
The Odyssey Touring and Elite's 10 speed transmission is nicely matched to the engine, giving this van very good acceleration, better than all other minivans and the vast majority of the SUV's. The interior is quite nice, the entertainment system sounds very good, Android phone connectivity works well, both Google Maps & Waze from my phone displayed on the screen. Noise level is pretty … low for a minivan, handling is acceptable, braking performance and feel are very good for a minivan. It has lots of outlets, 110VAC, 12V and USB chargers. The few negative points are the accelerator has a huge dead spot at the beginning of travel, takes a while to get use to. The front passenger seat was a little high above the floor for my wife (5' 3") making her thighs a bit tire on long trips, they're perfectly comfortable for me (5' 10"), the driver seat is adjustable, so no problems for either of us. And the seat back on the 2nd row doesn't fold down flat against the seat, somewhat compromising its ability to haul stuff, the 2nd row seats are also pretty heavy, making it difficult to remove if you wanted to haul larger items. The fit is also not as good as I've come to expect from Honda, the doors and hood all have somewhat uneven gaps, some less visible interior panels also didn't fit well. Lots of glare on the entertainment / navigation display, I may make my own leather over-hang shade to deal with this shortcoming. The cruse control worked reasonable well, but a little too aggressive at slowing down if another vehicle merged in front or us. The lane keeping assistant is not very effective. Blind spot detection worked fine. Also with the strong engine coupled with the 10 speed transmission, one could smoke the front tire all day. Could really use a limited slip differential to distribute the power between both front tires better, especially from a stand still on a Right turn.

2019 Honda Odyssey Elite 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
We purchased the Elite trim. We have had the car for 10 months now and the entire audio/video system shut off. Apparently Honda has had multiple complaints about this. I would stay away until they can figure this out. I’m thinking if you get the base trim it should be fine but there is too much technology in the Elite and everything stopped. Rear view camera is not working also, no … Bluetooth, no Apple car play, rear entertainment shut down (my kids are pissed as am I). I’m scheduled for service tomorrow morning. I will provide an update.
Transmission problems since under 5k.

2019 Honda Odyssey EX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
We have had the car back to the dealership three times and getting ready to go again due to the transmission not shifting properly and seems to be getting worse. The dealer says they find nothing wrong each time and have been no help at all since it’s a warranty thing. No loaner car is available and they will only give us a weekday appointment (dealer is fifteen miles from us and both … of us work over forty miles from them) which makes it even tougher with having to shuffle kids around and schedules also. I worked on Honda’s for fifteen years and have since moved to another job and never had an issue like this with any car I worked on. Customers who had issues were given a complimentary loaner and then a factory service rep was brought in to go over the diagnosis with the technician. Accelerating from a stop it shifts well and then gets up to about fourth or so and then bangs. If accelerating and then Letting off it seems to hold back from shifting and then bangs up a gear just to shift. We have had many friends ride with us and ask if it’s always done that, we just say yes. We are trying to get it looked at.
Excellent, except......

2019 Honda Odyssey Elite 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
I've read the reviews, including Edmunds. Sounds like a few folks got lemons, others, poor dealerships. First, my response to Edmunds review. We purchased the Elite. The seats are very comfortable, especially the ventilation feature for here in Florida. But The road noise is terrible. It sounds so loud that it's hard to carry on a conversation, or listen to the superb sound system. … With only 1100 miles, I fault the tires, Bridgestone Turanza. The noise was terrible initially. I recalled that some dealers overinflated tires to prevent flat spots. I checked; my tires were 46 PSI.! Despite the checklist showing that was cleared. Lowering the pressure to 33 PSI reduced the noise considerably but a significant amount remains. One ding. The navigation is not useful. Street names are not shown, nor is current traffic related to the location of the vehicle. 2 dings. The automatic engine shut off is annoying and has to be disabled each ride. A few reviews mention the rear seat is difficult to remove. I agree it is well made (heavy) but this is my second Odyssey and there's a short learning curve. The interior is enormous. With one rear seat removed our Great Pyrenees easily gets in and out. A few notes: Headlights are excellent. Side vehicle alerts are very noticeable. Handling is far superior to our 2010 Odyssey, and braking is greatly improved. I recommend driving the vehicle after a purchase and ignoring the tech gadgets. Familiarize yourself with basic operation then play with the other stuff cause they can be as distracting as texting. I'll update the review as miles accumulate.
