The sleeker, more powerful 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan made its North American debut at the 2017 NAIAS. Powered by a direct-injected, 280 horsepower 3.5-liter V6, the 2018 Honda Odyssey will offer two transmission options; a 9-speed automatic or an all-new 10-speed automatic. The new V6 has Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM™) which, together with the new transmissions and the lighter body structure (it lost 96 lbs), help to make the 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan more efficient than the van it replaces.

Here are some of the highlights of the 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan according to Honda:

    • Advanced connectivity and entertainment – with new Display Audio, CabinWatch, CabinTalk & streaming video with 4G LTE Wi-Fi
    • New CabinControl app – enables smartphone control of key vehicle systems, audio and rear entertainment features
    • New Magic Slideâ„¢ second-row seat – provides the ultimate in family-friendly versatility and comfort
    • New 10-speed transmission – joins DI V-6 engine in powertrain lineup

  • CabinControl – using a downloadable app, users can use a smart phone to control the rear entertainment system, rear cabin heat and air conditioning, and send destinations to the embedded Honda navigation system.
