2024 Honda Odyssey Owner’s Manual

In the waning minivan market segment, the Honda Odyssey remains one of the few superstars that still manages to entice prospective shoppers to opt for the family bus, and it is not hard to see why.

The Odyssey combines massive cabin room, top-tier standard features that are highly practical, and a nifty drivetrain, creating a refined package that always impresses. The 2024 model does nothing to change from the 2023 version and break this winning formula.

One of the most significant selling points of the Odyssey is the extra mile it goes to make itself the ultimate family-friendly vehicle.

Immediately standing out from the fore of the cabin is a PA system that lets parents speak audibly to their kids via the car speakers or plugged-in headphones, irrespective of the onboard noise level. Another notable family-friendly tech feature is an in-car camera that gives the driver and front passenger ample view of every corner of their rear quarters, completing the combination you need to maintain parental control at all times.

Want to take things up a level? An optional rear entertainment system with built-in streaming apps and an HDMI interface helps further reinforce this vehicle’s status as a family-first fortress.

Honda employs the same ingenuity in space management within the Odyssey cabin.

While the two back rows are already some of the roomiest in the class, Honda’s Magic Slide seat takes things up a significant notch. These chairs can move in both fore-and-aft and side-to-side planes, allowing for various configurations that can help maintain peace in the back.

Engine choices with the 2024 Honda Odyssey are limited, as your only choice is a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6. However, with a fine-tuned ten-speed automatic transmission completing the powertrain, you have all you need to move this 4500 giant gracefully through the suburbs.
