Some cringe at the thought of owning and driving a minivan. But you can't deny that this is the most efficient way to move people and cargo in just about any setting. The 2020 Honda Odyssey raises the segment bar by offering nimble handling, modern tech, gads of interior space, and ever-increasing levels of luxury and convenience as you move up the trim levels.

Minivan dominance proves people still buy
The 2020 Honda Odyssey marks 25 years since the popular minivan entered production. Consider that impressive milestone for a minute. The Odyssey, like a handful of other popular minivans, has survived the SUV Era of the late 1990s/mid-2000s, the Crossover Era (present) and today's much-mulled Decline of the Sedan Era. As much as many buyers say they can't stomach the thought of driving a minivan, someone is buying them.

It's not hard to see why. Minivans offer unparalleled comfort and cargo versatility. No SUV can touch them for ease of use or flexibility. From low step-in heights to walkable aisles and floor space to near-luxury features and technology, today's minivan is an almost no-compromise solution for families large and small.
The Odyssey sits at the top of that class with a slew of features that make life easier, such as configurable second-row seats and a zoomable, night-vision-equipped cabin camera that makes checking on your rear passengers a cinch. Anyone can cram in a load of features, though. What sets the Odyssey apart is its smooth-operating V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission and its alert, stable handling that makes it feel more like driving a sedan than a truck or SUV. It's not by coincidence that today's Odyssey sits atop our Edmunds rankings for minivans.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.1
out of 10
We drove the 2020 Honda Odyssey on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance: Driver’s car tames minivan speeds
8/10
How does the Odyssey drive? If there's such a thing as a "driver's car" among minivans, the Honda Odyssey is it. A strong V6 engine delivers plenty of power while the van's precise steering and stable handling instill confidence at higher speeds and on tighter roads. Even with passengers aboard, the Odyssey gets up to highway speed in no time, needing just 7.6 seconds for 0-60 mph in our tests.
The suspension can also handle bumpy roads without feeling overwhelmed, and the 10-speed transmission operates with swift and unobtrusive gear changes. Standard paddle shifters are a nice touch if you want to shift for yourself.

Comfort: Three-row support, firm ride, quiet highway
8/10
How comfortable is the Odyssey? The Odyssey excels at comfort in all three rows. The front seats are supportive and perfect for logging miles, while the second and third rows offer enough room for kids and adults. (You won't want to keep adults in the very back for too long, though, since footroom is a little tight.) The suspension shakes off bumps pretty well, but the ride is firmer than you might expect, even more so with the Elite's 19-inch wheels, and the van can get a little jittery over rough pavement.
Despite the firmer ride, the Odyssey is quiet on the highway. Credit goes to the active noise cancellation system and noise-reducing glass on the Odyssey's upper trims. Only on broken asphalt and rough concrete roads did we experience some tire noise.

Interior: Sliding doors make access effortless
8.5/10
How’s the interior? A minivan should make your life easier, and the Odyssey comes through. The sliding rear doors beat a crossover's traditional doors for ease of use, and slipping into the front seats is effortless. The sliding and reclining second-row seat also provides superb access to the third row. Both the driver's seat and the steering column offer a wide range of adjustment, and finding a natural driving position is a cinch.
Mediocre visibility is the only downside. It's hard to gauge space around the front of the car, and the second-row headrests block over-the-shoulder views. Front pillars and mirrors are typically bulky. Honda should offer a surround-view camera here.

Technology: User-friendly infotainment and spotty driver aids
7.5/10
How’s the tech? An 8-inch display, large icons and a snappy response make the Odyssey's infotainment system easy and enjoyable to use (standard on the EX and higher). When you don't feel like touching the screen, use voice commands to control navigation, front-row entertainment and calling functions, or summon your iPhone or Android voice assistants through the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections. An onboard Wi-Fi hotspot helps keep everyone connected on the go, although it's only available on the top two trim levels. A rear-cabin camera and intercom are also useful.
Driver aids are a mixed bag. Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist aren't that refined, but lane departure and blind-spot warnings work well.
Driver aids are a mixed bag. Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist aren't that refined, but lane departure and blind-spot warnings work well.
Storage: Odyssey’s minivan-level cargo utility
9/10
How’s the storage? Few vehicles can beat a minivan for cargo space and utility. The Odyssey has an above-average amount of cargo space, nearly 156 cubic feet at maximum capacity. You'll need to remove the second-row seats to clear all that room, and that's a tough task given the weight and awkward shape of the seats. A deep storage well behind the third row is useful for grocery bags and loose items. There's also ample room in the door pockets and deep bins all around the cabin for personal items.
The car seat anchor points for child seats are easily accessible in the second- and third-row seats. And the second-row sliding function comes in very handy when installing a large or bulky child seat.

Fuel Economy: EPA numbers, real-world reality
6/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA puts the Odyssey Elite's fuel economy at 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway), which is about in line with the segment. During our mix of driving, we ranged from 14 to 24 mpg, achieving 21 mpg on our fuel loop, somewhat less than advertised.
Value: Trims prove fundamentals matter most
7/10
Is the Odyssey a good value? The Odyssey Elite trim level that we tested is pricey, no question. But the fundamentals of the Odyssey are available for much less if you can live without tech features such as active noise cancellation or a rear-seat vacuum cleaner. If you simply need maximum people-moving space, even the base LX captures the Odyssey's best qualities: smooth power, comfortable seating and an open, airy cabin.
Compared to its EPA rating, we saw slightly less fuel efficiency from the Odyssey during our testing. It's rated at 22 mpg combined, but we got anywhere from 14 to 24 mpg. However, it came closest with a steady diet of highway miles. Inside, the Odyssey is very well put-together.

Wildcard: Minivan buyers beyond families
8/10
Most buyers think of minivans primarily as family movers. And they indeed excel in this role. But the Odyssey's range of qualities will appeal to drivers of many stripes, including empty nesters, tech-savvy drivers, outdoor enthusiasts, home project enthusiasts, musicians and film professionals. Anyone needing to move people or equipment will appreciate the Odyssey's space and cargo versatility.
2020 Honda Odyssey trim level differences
The 2020 Odyssey comes in five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite. But in typical Honda fashion, there aren't any packages or factory-installed options offered aside from a navigation and rear-seat entertainment upgrade for the EX-L. So to find the Odyssey you want, you'll need to pick a trim that matches your desired features and budget. Compare the 2020 Honda Odyssey trim levels in-depth.
Which Odyssey trim does Edmunds recommend?
The EX hits the spot if you're on a budget. For not much more money than the base trim LX, 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 a rear-seat monitoring system.

2020 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan w/Navigation and Rear Entertainment System (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
Great car. Very sound. Quietest honda we have owned, we've had 5. Smooth responsive engine/ transmission. Would have knocked off a star for having the motor shut off at every stop. But since you can over ride that function by pressing a button, although you have to do that every time you start the motor we let it slide.

2020 Honda Odyssey Elite 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
UPDATE 2: Dropped from 3-stars to 1-star at around 12k miles.
UPDATE 1: Dropped from 4-stars to 3-stars to 1-star now (8k miles).
Summary: I didn't know Honda could have so many problems. Will not buy another Honda Minivan. What is the point of the Elite trim? I've been to the shop too many times for this 2020 Honda Odyssey Elite and am getting more uncomfortable with each visit.
My … primary two concerns:
1) Electronics
2) Transmission
**Electronics**
I've had to bring the vehicle in TWICE already to fix the static pop issues in less than a year. The static pops can get loud enough to make me want to open the window. This is reported as a known issue.
Parking Sensors: The parking sensors just started screwing up around 12,000 miles. While driving it just starts beeping madly as if something is right in front of the sensor. I went outside to inspect and there is nothing there. I use the parking sensors to fit into my garage and navigate tight drive-thru lanes, so disappointing that these are already not working right. I still need to take to shop for this.
CabinWatch Camera: The interior cabin camera seems to always freeze up. They just fixed it due to a recall, so I'll monitor. *UPDATE* this has been working better lately.
Auto-high beams don't seem to work. They worked perfect on my prior Honda CRV. I manually operate my high-beams. While a minor issue, what is the point of the feature?
Wireless charger: the phone has to be just right. Makes it a pain as opposed to something I could just set down and forget. I just plug my phone in now instead of using wireless charging.
Major recall with power/fire risk issue, was fixed but concerning. Other electronics recalls have occurred. A total of 5 related recall/issues surrounding electronics so far.
**Transmission**
Transmission recently started jerky/stutter in downshift between 30-40mph. When brought to service center, was noted that "commonly reported by customers" but is "typical of the vehicle" - this was not present when I first purchased the vehicle and it sounds like the transmission problems from the 2014-2015 series Honda Odyssey. This really makes the driving experience unpleasant as I am often in that speed range in the city.
UPDATE: This seems to be slowly getting worse. I just hit 12k miles at my 1st year of ownership.
UPDATE:
For the recall fixes round 2, I had to wait a few weeks for some parts to come in.

2020 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
As a long time Honda owner I am EXTREMELY infuriated with the fact that I am already having an issue with a brand new vehicle. Purchased a 2020 Odyssey on May 26, 2020 and on June 25, 2020 the audio just stopped working mid drive. I get home, turn the car completely off and the display would not turn off. After troubleshooting over the phone to no avail we have had to physically taken it … in. Mind you, there is a fuse you can disconnect or you can disconnect the battery in order to potentially force a reboot but the real question is WHY DO I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE? After a quick google search it appears that Honda KNOWS about this issue with the 2018 and 2019 odyssey which further indicates they have done NOTHING to fix the actual problem and continue to knowingly sell DEFECTED CARS. Shame on you Honda! If you are considering purchasing a new Honda Odyssey, I strongly urge you to reconsider. We replaced our 2014 Honda Odyssey with this and completely regret doing so.

I have had so many issues as do many others with the infotainment center.m and other electrical issues. My car will unlock on its own, dashboard will go black. It’s horrible. Has been to the show numerous times ( like so many others) and Honda still can’t figure it out. So we buy a brand new car for it to me more of a nuisance. Since this car is all electrical, even the gear shift is a … push button , it makes the driving experience more of a headache.
