The 2023 Honda Odyssey may compete in the minivan class, but it is so much more than just another minivan. There might not be a more efficient way to move large numbers of people and large amounts of cargo than the latest version of the Odyssey. Independent online experts have heaped a lot of praise on the 2023 Odyssey, including rave reviews for the vehicle’s highly adaptable second row of seats, its long list of standard safety and technology features, and, of course, for its strong V-6-powered performance. Follow along with Bannister Honda as we closely examine what the 2023 Honda Odyssey has to offer this year.

Interior Design & Features

The 2023 Honda Odyssey has been constructed to move up to eight people as comfortably as possible. Drivers will find the perfect position with a 12-way adjustable seat and the front passenger can be adjusted in eight ways, in addition to a four-way lumbar support feature. The Magic Slide second-row seats can be easily configured to accommodate passengers.
Adaptable Cargo Capacity
There are very few vehicles that can match the 2023 Honda Odyssey in terms of interior cargo space. When the rear two rows are folded down, there can be up to 3,984 litres of cargo volume to use. This is enough to comfortably hold a full sheet of plywood in the rear of the vehicle.

Technology
Keep An Eye On Everything
Anyone who has travelled with family on a long road trip knows that squabbles can escalate quickly. The CabinWatch™ and CabinTalk™ features allow drivers and front passengers to see what’s happening in the rear on the vehicle’s large digital display. Also, a microphone mounted near the driver will allow them to use the audio system’s speakers to project their voice to the rear of the 2023 Odyssey.
Device Integration
More and more of us rely on our smartphones for almost everything. Getting in the 2023 Honda Odyssey to hit the road doesn’t make that need go away. Every version of the 2023 Odyssey is equipped with access to both the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ suites of applications. Touring and Black Edition models also come with a Wi-Fi hotspot that can accommodate several devices at once.
Available Passenger Entertainment
There are several ways to keep rear passengers of all ages entertained and engaged on the road. Our manufacturing partner offers its Rear Seat Entertainment System, a 10.2-inch display, HDMI input, a pair of headphone jacks and two sets of wireless headphones.
Safety
Active Safety Technology
As a family-hauler, safety is a top priority for Honda. The innovative Honda Sensing™ suite of active safety technology is equipped on most of the minivan’s lineup. These separate, but connected, systems help drivers avoid potentially dangerous situations. The Honda Sensing™ suite is comprised of the following systems:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Collision Mitigation Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Road Departure Mitigation
- Adaptive Cruise Control (with Low-Speed Follow)
Passive Safety Systems
There are a nearly infinite number of safety features installed on the 2023 Honda Odyssey that are included as standard equipment. While they might be ubiquitous, they are no less crucial to protecting the vehicle’s safety profile. Some of these passive safety systems include:
- I-SRS front airbag system
- Knee airbags
- Three-row side curtain (with rollover sensor)
- SmartVent side airbags
Performance & Efficiency
Powerful Engine Profile
The Honda Odyssey has long been a leader in the minivan segment for its strong powertrain. Every 2023 Odyssey will continue that tradition by employing a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre, V-6 engine making 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.
Precise and Efficient Transmission
Honda engineers have made a 10-speed automatic transmission standard equipment on the 2023 Odyssey. This allows drivers to get the most performance possible without sacrificing fuel economy.
Odyssey Towing Capacity
We already know that the 2023 Odyssey has a lot of interior cargo capacity. The vehicle’s hauling ability can also be extended outside the vehicle with up to 1,587 kg of maximum towing capacity.
Changes to the Honda Odyssey for 2023
The biggest change Honda made to the 2023 version of the Odyssey happened behind the scenes with a revised trim ladder. Beyond that small change, the 2023 Honda Odyssey carries over largely unchanged.
