Key Features
Cabin Watch
The 2018 Honda Odyssey has a new Cabin Watch feature, which uses a camera to present a view of your rear-seat passengers on the large central display. This is ideal for vigilant parents who want to ensure their children are safe—and behaving. This system even works at night using infrared vision.
Magic Slide 2nd-Row Seats™
A second-row middle seat can slide forward—or be removed—allowing the other two seats to slide around the van and be locked into one of five selectable positions. This feature makes it easy to customize each trip to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency.
Interior Tech
Families expect a lot from their car, and the 2018 Odyssey delivers. It includes in-car Wi-Fi, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay™ among many other innovative features. Gone are the days of arguing over who gets to play the DJ thanks to the Social Playlist. This feature allows up to eight users to upload music from their smartphones, so everybody’s tunes get a turn.
Alternative Options
If you’re not looking for a feature-filled, innovative minivan, Honda has plenty of other options. The 2017 Honda CR-V is perfect for shoppers seeking a sporty and practical crossover. For those looking to go green, look no further than the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, which can get up to an incredible 47 mpg highway and 49 mpg city.*
