While the Honda Odyssey is known as a minivan, it

certainly offers mega options. To help you navigate the

2016 Odyssey’s many features and trims, we bundled

buyer-friendly information alongside key specs and

options in the following buyer’s guide. It will give you a

chance to learn:

• The backstory of Honda’s modern minivan

• Odyssey engine and mileage specs

• What’s new for the 2016 Odyssey

• What’s included in each trim level

By the end of the guide, you’ll be set to head to the

dealership, sign off on the paperwork, and drive your

magnificent minivan into the sunset or to soccer

practice, maybe even both.

Let’s get started!

An Odyssey Evolution: The Minivan That Can Year after year, Honda has proven the Odyssey’s status

as a model minivan instead of just another minivan

model. Check out some of the Odyssey’s feats through

the years:

• Early innovations: Even back in the mid-1990s,

the Odyssey was considered a segment innovator,

offering buyers interior touches that were ahead of

their time, such as the 1995 Odyssey’s unique dual

glovebox.

• Turn of the century: With the Odyssey’s former

four-cylinder engine swapped for a robust 3.5-liter

V6 and inventive storage nooks and consoles that

became the minivan’s calling card, the turn-of-the-

century Odyssey upgrade has been the model’s

biggest overhaul yet. The 2000 model year even

offered an optional navigation system, way before

this technology was considered commonplace.

• Fourth generation: Fast forward 14 years to

the 2014 Odyssey’s debut that brought more

groundbreaking ingenuity to the auto realm with

the introduction of the first-ever on-board vacuum,

HondaVAC®.

• The future: With its top performance marks in key

categories and desirable features for families of

all sizes, this versatile minivan shows no signs of

stopping its successful journey anytime soon.

Mechanical Overview: Engine and MileageThe 2016 Honda Odyssey’s six trim styles share

the same willing powertrain. Defying the dreaded

acceleration struggle that so many other vans get

caught up in, the Odyssey’s 248-horsepower 3.6-liter V6

engine adds a bit of excitement to family cruising.

This ample power, backed by 250 lb-ft of torque,

gives the Odyssey plenty of gusto for errand runs and

highway travel. Plus EPA estimates of 19 city and 28

highway mpg allow the Odyssey to leave an economic

footprint that’s far smaller than most would guess.

All Odysseys come equipped with a six-speed

automatic transmission, sturdy suspension, and a

potent set of brakes, adding up to a ride that’s steady,

responsive, and safe.

A Minivan’s Greatest Ally: Cargo and Small StorageIf you’re looking to tote up to eight travelers, whether

you’re going for your monthly bulk grocery run or

paying your weekly carpool dues, space for carry-ons is

essential. Luckily, those who choose the Honda Odyssey

have no shortage of built-in space, which means no one

has to travel with a cold jug of milk on their lap.

The 2016 Honda Odyssey offers 38.4 cubic feet of room

behind the third row of seats, which is plenty to stack

the kids’ backpacks, coworkers’ briefcases, or both.

Behind the second row, you’ll find 93.1 cubic feet after

you fold the final row flat in a cinch with the Odyssey’s

special Magic Seat. This row can also be split 60/40 for

those times when you need extra toting room but still

need next-to-full seating capacity.

An expanse of 148.5 cubic feet is available behind the

front row, which is enough room for your Odyssey to

take on the role of a not-so-mini moving van when

it’s needed.

Your small storage options are also abundant in the

Odyssey. Cupholders are positioned within reach for

every passenger, a removable center console doubles

as a lined van trash can, and a nifty cooled glovebox

compartment, available on upper trim models, keeps

snacks chilled in transit.

Honda Odyssey Safety BasicsThe Odyssey is definitely a van that was designed first

and foremost in the name of safety, a mission that’s

evident in the model’s many standard safety features.

One source of the minivan’s inner sense of might is

its resilient, high-strength construction made using

Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering. A

comprehensive airbag suite that extends from the front

seat to the rear row builds on this safety aptitude.

Advanced brake technology, including a four-wheel

anti-lock brake system, Brake Assist, and Electronic

Brake Force Distribution, adds to the Odyssey’s smooth

operating abilities. Standard daytime running lights

make your presence known to other drivers, and a

rearview camera with guidelines, standard on every

model, is a must-have extra that simplifies driveway

navigations considerably.

In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash

test evaluation, the 2016 Honda Odyssey earned a

perfect score and the highly coveted Top Safety Pick

designation. The Odyssey was also awarded a top rating

from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

of five stars overall.

About Honda Sensing TechnologyHonda’s most recent safety technology set, collectively

known as Honda Sensing, uses tiny cameras and radar

technology to act as your van’s eyes and ears.

Two of these features are available on the 2016 Honda

Odyssey trims EX-L and above. Small cameras set into

the Odyssey’s Lane Departure Warning system read

highway pavement markings. If the system senses that

you’re drifting out of your defined lane without using

a turn signal, it will alert you with an audible and visual

warning.

The second sensing feature, Forward Collision Warning,

uses a camera at the front of the van to monitor the

vehicles in front of you. In addition to picking up

another car in your path, the system measures the

distance between you and the vehicle directly ahead

and watches the rate at which this space fluctuates.

Forward Collision Warning keeps drivers cognizant of

upcoming changes in the flow of traffic, allotting you

extra time to slow down when it counts most.

Selecting the Trim That’s Right for YouThe 2016 Odyssey is available in six trim styles: LX,

EX, SE, EX-L, Touring, and Touring Elite. Consult the

sections below to get to know the features that come

equipped on each model so you can choose the trim

level that meets the wants and needs of you and your

crew.

Base Honda Odyssey LX

Key Features: Seats seven, power-adjustable front

seats, Bluetooth, rearview camera

The Honda Odyssey LX isn’t your run-of-the-mill bare-

bones base model. The LX provides ample comfort for

seven passengers and entertainment and convenience

features that many consider road trip luxuries.

On the outside, the LX is equipped with 17-inch steel

wheels, a rear spoiler, and rear privacy glass.

Inside, the Honda Odyssey LX provides a calm, cool,

and collected interior. Active noise cancellation

matches its smooth riding powertrain, and manual two-

zone air-conditioning keeps travelers cool on summer

journeys. An eight-way power driver’s seat, four-way

power front passenger seat, and tilt-and-telescopic

steering wheel give total comfort and control to the

pilot and co-pilot.

Entertainment features are abundant in the entry-

level Odyssey. Drivers have access to an 8-inch multi-

information display and a seven-speaker audio system

on board to play CDs, stream Pandora internet radio, or

play compatible devices connected via auxiliary input

or USB port.

Honda Odyssey EX

Key Features: Seats eight, multi-adjustable second

row, Honda LaneWatch, HondaLink

The next Odyssey introduces a greater level of

versatility to the minivan interior that’s particularly

appealing to growing families. The most notable

upgrade, standard on the EX and above, is an extra

passenger seat that bumps available occupancy

up to eight.

Outer enhancements include 17-inch alloy wheels,

power-sliding doors, automatic headlights,

and heated mirrors.

Peel back the layers of this talented van trim and

you’ll find a wealth of updated technology from the

dashboard to its back seat. Another major draw of the

Odyssey EX (and above) is its configurable second row

middle seat that has a dual function. It can be easily

removed to make way for back seat riders to reach

the third row or it can slide forward to bring a child

secured in a safety seat closer to the parents up front.

The Odyssey EX also features advanced entertainment

options, including Honda’s camera-run LaneWatch

system standard and a 7-inch touchscreen that runs

HondaLink smartphone integration with Aha apps.

Enhanced comfort and convenience features on the

EX include keyless ignition and entry, two-way power

lumbar adjustment for the driver’s seat, a conversation

mirror, removable front center console, and tri-zone

automatic climate control.

2016 Honda Odyssey Special Edition

Key Features: Seats eight, HondaVAC®, rear seat

entertainment system, SiriusXM

New for 2016, the Honda Odyssey Special Edition, or

SE, bundles the model’s most groundbreaking features

into one memorable package.

Between the signature HondaVAC® van vacuum on

board to keep crumbs at bay and the Honda rear

entertainment system with wireless headsets to keep

the kids optimally occupied, you may find it tough to

get out of the SE once you get to your destination.

This package also adds in a 115-volt power outlet and

SiriusXM Radio.

The high-value features that the SE brings were once

only offered to buyers in the highest package level,

making it a must-have for buyers after a well-run van

interior at a more modest price tag.

Honda Odyssey EX-L

Key Features: Seats eight, leather seating, sunroof,

Honda Sensing

Honda’s fourth trim in the Odyssey lineup, the EX-L,

adds the surefire trappings of a luxury mover with

leather seating, heated front seats, a sunroof, and

a chillable glovebox.

Additional upscale conveniences include:

• Leather-wrapped steering wheel

• Power liftgate

• Heated front seats

• Auto-dimming rearview mirror

• Forward Collision Warning

• Lane Departure Warning

EX-L buyers also have a choice of two additional

packages, one that adds a voice-operated navigation

system and another that brings in the rear seat

entertainment system and the power outlet from

the SE bundle.

Honda Odyssey Touring

Key Features: Seats eight, navigation system,

rear seat entertainment system

For those interested in a van that’s equipped with

maximum gadgets, one of the two top Odyssey trims

may be just what you’re looking for. Advanced outer

elements on the Odyssey Touring include 18-inch alloy

wheels, fog lights, and front and rear parking sensors.

Inside, driver memory settings and the navigation and

rear seat entertainment systems offered on the EX-L

are both standard.

Honda Odyssey Touring Elite

Key Features: Seats eight, HondaVAC®, ultra-wide

rear seat entertainment system

The top-of-the-line Odyssey Touring Elite adds xenon

headlights, brings back the HondaVAC®, and ups

the speaker count to 12 for superior surround sound

quality.

The Touring Elite is also known for its inspiring rear

seat entertainment system that features a huge 16.2-

inch widescreen monitor with HDMI input that allows

backseat watchers to see two programs play side

by side simultaneously. Wireless headphones shared

on the SE’s system keep passengers plugged in and

entertained without the chance of getting tangled up.
