Functional family vehicle

The 2024 Honda Odyssey is a classic family minivan that seats eight. There's ample room for child car seats, a huge grocery haul, and even pets. The 2024 model is part of the fifth generation of Odysseys, unchanged since 2018. Why mess with a good thing? If you don't have (human) passengers, the 2024 Honda Odyssey can easily transport loads of supplies for a mobile business (carpentry, electrical, auto repair, etc.), turn into a camper van for weekend adventure seekers, or pair perfectly with singles who own multiple dogs that enjoy going on car rides.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 Honda Odyssey

1. Adjustable second-row seating 

Parents with kids, listen up! The 2024 Honda Odyssey features second-row seating on a sliding rail with a removable middle seat on all trims. This means you can easily slide the outer seat to the center (with the middle seat removed) to make more room for passengers accessing the third row. Or, you can slide the seat to the center to make it easier for you to monitor a child in a car seat from the driver's position. The second-row seats can also fold flat or be removed from the van completely to make space for a dog kennel, bags of sports gear, an air mattress, or large packages. 

2. Helpful monitoring tech 

When you have a van full of people — especially half the soccer team — you need to keep a close eye on everyone. The 2024 Honda Odyssey offers an optional rear cabin camera monitor and intercom system on the Touring and Elite trims so you can chat with passengers in the third row without raising your voice or turning your head. Voice travels through the van's stereo speakers or connected headphones. Video displays on the touchscreen on the dashboard. 

3. Abundant storage space 

You expect a minivan to have room for a little bit of everything, and the 2024 Honda Odyssey fills that promise. Behind the third-row seats, you'll enjoy 32.8 cu-ft of storage for school bags and groceries. With the third-row seats folded away, you gain 89.2 cu-ft to bring home bulky supplies from the home improvement store. With the second-row seats removed, and the third-row seats folded down into the stow-away position, you have 144.9 cu-ft of space to turn into a camping paradise, line up multiple dog kennels, or fill with work gear. 

4. Helpful driving features 

The 2024 Honda Odyssey comes in five trim options, and all feature handy extras as standard to make maneuvering a minivan as easy as possible. The lane-centering system will correct your steering to keep the van between the lines. Adaptive cruise control helps to maintain proper distancing between you and the car in front of you. The blind-spot warning alerts you to vehicles near you when reversing or changing lanes. And, there's even a warning system to remind you to check the rear seats for passengers (including snoozing kiddos and pets) as you park the van. 

5. Popular in-cabin technology 

Vans serve as comfortable people-haulers, so it's no surprise they also come loaded with all the bells and whistles most drivers and passengers crave. Inside the 2024 Honda Odyssey base EX trim, you'll find Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto connectivity, triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, an eight-inch touchscreen system, a seven-speaker audio system, and power sliding rear side doors. Choose the EX-L trim to add on a power liftgate, power sunroof, and USB ports in the second row.
