One of the defining characteristics of the minivan is its removable seats. This design innovation allows it to move more cargo than the average pickup truck while still being able to comfortably transport a significant portion of the average youth soccer team along with their snacks, equipment, and etc. Let’s explore some of the versatile features of theĀ 2025 Honda Odyssey.
From Side-Doors to Seats
The second-row seats feature the clever Magic Slide system, allowing them to be arranged for easy access to the third row or set up so that they’re easily reachable from the front row. They also fold flat for easy removal and carrying when you need maximum cargo space. Two sliding doors further enhance access to children in car seats or cargo without needing to climb inside.
The 60/40 split third-row Magic Seat allows for even more customizability when it comes to balancing people and cargo, potentially cutting down on the number of seats you’ll need to remove to get everything in. Second-row seats have adjustable armrests, providing maximum comfort or maximum access according to need.
Communication on the Road
With eight seats total, the Odyssey is a supreme passenger mover. With the CabinTalk system, the driver can always be sure of being heard when they ask whether anyone needs the next rest stop. Everyone in the passenger cabin can be reached through the speakers and/or connected headphones. On more expensive trims, CabinWatch uses the 9-inch touchscreen to give you a full view of the back seats, taking the guesswork out of arbitrating passenger disputes.
More Space for More Stuff
With more than 140 cubic feet of space behind the driver’s and passenger’s seats, when it’s time to haul cargo instead of people you’ll have plenty of room. Flexible seating arrangements balance seating and cargo needs. A powered tailgate makes loading and unloading a breeze, even if your hands are still full. The 280-horsepower engine may not provide the torque or acceleration of a pickup truck but manages even medium-duty loads with ease.
Don’t Forget HondaSense for Maximum Road Awareness
This suite of features allows for maximum visibility and automatic intervention in common hazardous road situations. They include the Collision Mitigation Braking System and the Road Departure Mitigation System. The Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor help to fill in blind spots caused by the body’s pillars.
