Ethermac|With the 2025 Honda Odyssey Minivan, You Get More Stuff for More Money

The Ethermac2025 Honda Odyssey minivan is getting a minor nip and tuck and upgraded technology on the interior, as well as more standard kit — but at a new higher price. Here's everything changing on the popular Japanese minivan.

2025 Honda Odyssey design updates

For the new model year, the slightly redesigned 2025 Honda Odyssey minivan sports a more aggressive grille design in a new fascia with a wider impression, larger black fog light surrounds and an updated rear bumper design with vertical reflectors reminiscent of those found on the Acura NSX, for some reason. At each corner are some new wheel designs, with the top Elite trim getting updated 19-inch machine-finished alloys now. There are also two new paint colors: Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl.

2025 Honda Odyssey power and efficiency updates

The Odyssey gets a single, carry-over powertrain for the new model year. It's a familiar — or as Honda puts it, "proven" — 3.5-liter V-6 gas engine linked to a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The sole engine provides an output of 280 horsepower, and gets an estimated EPA rating (City/Hwy/Combined) of 19/28/22 mpg for each of the four available trim levels.

In the rear, the van's entertainment system gets a larger 12.8-inch screen with more functionality, a new storage bin specifically for streaming devices and a relocated HDMI plug for added convenience.

The entry-level EX-L trim also comes with standard leather upholstery, one-touch powered moonroof, power-adjusted and heated front seating, Magic Slide second-row seating, rear seat reminder system and a powered tailgate.

It also gets black leather with red contrast stitching, black headliner, red accent lighting in the footwells and two additional third-row USB-C ports on the interior.

The Touring trim adds a satellite navigation system, the otherwise available CabinWatch rear-seat viewing system, third-row sunshades, front and rear parking sensors and contrast stitching and piping on all three rows of seating; this trim is also where that upgraded rear entertainment system is equipped. Finally, the top Elite trim gets two-tone perforated and ventilated leather seating with piping, a heated steering wheel, upgraded audio system, rain-sensing wipers, hands-free tailgate and auto-dimming mirrors as upgrades.
