2025 Honda Odyssey Gets Another Facelift, 'Major' Tech Updates
It's different, honest!
Honda kicked off the week with news of a second facelift for the Odyssey minivan. One of just four choices left on the market—and the second-best selling minivan of last year—the Odyssey rolls into 2025 with some useful upgrades to keep it competitive.
While the Accord and Civic both have ditched the wedge-like front-end look, the Odyssey sticks to it, with minor detail changes up front. The headlights are the same, though they frame a reshaped grille which sits above an additional, slot-like intake. A redesigned front bumper emphasizes the foglights with larger, blacked out surrounds. Redesigned wheels in 18- and 19-inch sizes and a pair of new exterior paints (Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl) are also on the menu.
The 2025 Honda Odyssey Looks Different Now, Honest
We bet you didn't expect the Odyssey to adopt anything from the dearly departed NSX, did you? Well, Honda is happy to point out the bumper "integrates the same vertical reflectors" as the now-gone supercar. Riveting stuff.
Of course, a minivan is about the interior experience more than any styling tweaks. Honda has shipped in the 9.0-inch screen found in other models, standard on all Odyssey trims. It's more powerful and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A wireless charger and more USB-C ports are also usefully standard across the board. Meanwhile, the rear entertainment system now features a 12.8-inch high-res screen, with the HDMI port relocated to the console.
What hasn't changed is the powertrain. Honda might be putting hybrids into darned near everything right now—and Kia is doing the same with the Carnival for 2025—but the Odyssey sticks to its tried-and-true front-drive, V6-and-ten-speed-auto approach. Hey, when that VTEC kicks in...
The 2025 Odyssey will arrive in US dealerships tomorrow, with four available trims. The lineup consists of the $43,315 EX-L, $44,465 Sport-L, $48,005 Touring, and $52,275 Elite. (All prices include destination.) Surprisingly, only the top trim earns a hands-free power tailgate. At the time of writing, Canadian pricing was unavailable.
