The 2026 Honda Odyssey in a Nutshell
For those looking for the most practical Honda possible, it’s hard to beat the Odyssey. It’s been around for over 30 years, and it’s easily one of the most seasoned nameplates among its peers. It’s evolved through the decades, adapting to ever-changing demands of buyers, but its purpose has been clear since 1994. That’s to provide maximum comfort and practicality for families.
The Odyssey is now in its fifth generation, and that one rolled out way back in mid-2017. That said, there have been two facelifts since then, with the most recent one being for the 2025 model year. Given that it’s fresh off an update, Honda’s minivan carries over into 2026 with a minor price change and trim level adjustments.
2026 Honda Odyssey Lease Deals for January
With the LX and EX trims gone, the EX-L is now the entry-level model of the Odyssey range. That explains why it’s one of the more expensive minivans to lease these days. Mind you, the equipment levels are similar to mid-spec models of its competitors, but we digress.
For January, the 2026 Odyssey EX-L can be leased for $469 for 39 months with $4,099 due at signing. It’s $10 less than last month’s promo, although due at signing is a little higher this time around. As always, it’s $0.20 for every mile over 10,000 miles per year. This offer is valid until March 2, 2026.
2026 Honda Odyssey Highlights
The Odyssey is down to four trim levels for the 2026 model year. It now consists of the EX-L, Sport L, Touring, and Elite, while prices range from $42,795 to $51,695. Because of the adjustment, there’s more standard equipment fitted to the Odyssey. That includes a sunroof, a power tailgate, power sliding doors, power-adjustable seats, wireless phone connectivity, and Honda Sensing advanced driver assists.
Sport L models add gloss black highlights on the exterior and red accents inside, while the Touring gains the CabinTalk and CabinWatch audio/visual intercom system, sun shades for second and third-row windows, and a rear-entertainment system. At the top is the Elite that gets more convenience and comfort features such as heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power tailgate, and an 11-speaker sound system.
Powering all trims of the Odyssey is the familiar 3.5-liter V6 that’s also seen in the Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline. Output is rated at 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, and there is no all-wheel drive or hybrid option. For the latter, you’ll have to move to Japan for that, and it’s a totally different version of the minivan.
Final Thoughts
Despite the lack of hybrid or all-wheel drive options, the Odyssey remains a hugely popular choice in its class. It’s not the youngest, either, but it’s still jockeying for the top spot in minivan sales. Perhaps we can credit its immense practicality, cavernous interior, and generous standard equipment for that. It’s not the cheapest option, but consider all the features you’re getting for the money, and it starts making more sense.
