That rear seat splits 60/40 and can be stowed into the floor with an easy pull of the strap for either side, as long as you collapse the head rests first. With all three rows in place, there is 33 cubic feet of cargo space. In back, the third row could fit adults with plenty of head room and 38 inches of leg room, which is more than most sedans. That row is comfy too, especially with the armrests on all but the base trim. The power-adjustable front seats on all trim levels are well-padded and comfy, and on the EX-L and above they come shod in leather in the first and outer second row seats. Safety is as big a priority as space in the 2021 Odyssey, with the NHTSA and IIHS bestowing top crash-test ratings on the minivan. Stow the third row in the floor and there’s more cargo volume than most SUVs with all the seats folded down. Inside, the Odyssey seats up to eight, with enough room for adults to ride in the wayback.
It’s reasonably efficient with an EPA-rated 22 mpg combined, and the ride is reassuringly calm, quiet, and predictable. The same 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 and a 10-speed automatic with front-wheel drive powers every Odyssey regardless of trim. Safety equipment such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control are now standard across the lineup, but the LX still only gets a 5.0-inch display screen. Like last year, the 2021 Odyssey starts at about $32,000 in base LX trim, then climbs the ladder in features and cost in EX, EX-L, Touring, and top Elite trim, which comes in at just under $50,000. It earns a 6.8 on our overall scale, thanks to a perfect score for comfort. Still, the Odyssey excels at what it was meant to do well: haul families and their gear in space, comfort, and safety. The refreshed minivan is big on space and interior comforts, even as the competition has shifted ahead with more innovative powertrain options. If smart is sexy then the 2021 Honda Odyssey is a centerfold.
