2021 Honda Odyssey Debuts at the New York Auto Show

The 2021 Honda Odyssey made its debut at the New York International Auto Show with updates on the headlights, exterior and interior styling, and new safety and technology features.

The Honda Odyssey has been the retail best-selling minivan in America for the past 10 years. And with the new upgrades on the 2021 model, we can expect that to remain true.

Exterior

Some major upgrades for the 2021 Odyssey include more powerful and efficient LED headlights, a redesigned blackout grille with chrome accents and redesigned fog light housings. The new Odyssey also features new 19-inch alloy wheels and auto-dimming side mirrors.

Interior

Changes inside include updated climate controls and second-row seat backs that fold flat for easier seat removal. Higher trim levels get new tri-color floor mats and illuminated USB ports. EX-L and higher trim levels get restyled seats with contrast stitching, and seconds row seat back pockets.

Touring and Elite models add new piano black trim on the dash, doors and front door handles, and the line-topping Odyssey Elite receives perforated leather for the first and second row seats, with contrast stitching and piping on all three rows. Elite also features exclusive dash trim and second-row seat back pockets.

Standard Features

All trim levels will come standard with the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Some new features within Honda Sensing include Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Pedestrian Emergency Braking.

A new Rear-Seating Reminder system is designed to prompt drivers to check their rear seating area before exiting the vehicle. Drivers will hear an audible alert and a warning message on the driver’s display.

About the Odyssey

The 2021 Odyssey is anticipated to earn a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHSTA and a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS. American families have purchased more than 1.1 million Odyssey minivans and the Odyssey continues to set the standard for family-friendly features, space, and sporty driving performance.

Powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC™ V6 engine with 280 horsepower, Odyssey comes exclusively with Honda’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission along with push-button start. The Odyssey’s powerful and refined V6 engine also utilizes Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), with the capacity to seamlessly switch between three- and six-cylinder operation.

The 2021 Honda Odyssey for the North American market is made exclusively at Honda’s Lincoln, Alabama auto plant, alongside Pilot, Passport, and Ridgeline, using domestic and globally-sourced parts. Its V6 engine is also manufactured in Alabama, with its 10-speed automatic transmission manufactured exclusively at Honda’s Tallapoosa, Georgia facility.

Additional information will be available at the New York Auto Show in April. Full pricing will be available when the 2021 Odyssey goes on sale later this year.
