2027 Honda Odyssey vs 2026: Questions, Answered

What is new on the 2027 Honda Odyssey compared to 2026?

The 2027 Odyssey keeps everything families like about the 2026 and adds a few updates: HondaTex-trimmed seats on EX-L and Sport-L, a new gray finish for the Touring's 19-inch alloy wheels, and the newest model year across all four trims. The 280-hp V6, eight-passenger cabin, Honda Sensing suite, and trim-by-trim features all carry over.

How much does the 2027 Honda Odyssey cost?

The 2027 Odyssey starts at $43,195 for EX-L, $44,295 for Sport-L, $47,895 for Touring, and $52,095 for Elite (MSRP, excluding destination, taxes, and fees). Each trim is $400 above its 2026 starting MSRP*.

What seats does the 2027 Odyssey EX-L have?

The 2027 EX-L and Sport-L use HondaTex-trimmed seats, which replace the leather-trimmed seats listed for 2026. Both trims keep heated front seats, a 12-way power driver seat with memory, and Magic Slide 2nd-row seats.

Which 2027 Honda Odyssey trims have leather seats?

Touring has leather-trimmed seats with piping, and Elite has perforated leather-trimmed seats with piping. Elite also adds ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

Is the 2027 Honda Odyssey a redesign?

No. The 2027 Odyssey builds on the proven 2026 design with the same powertrain, dimensions, cargo space, and safety technology, plus updated seat trim on EX-L and Sport-L and a new wheel finish on Touring. If you liked the 2026, the 2027 delivers the same strengths in the newest model year.

How much horsepower does the 2027 Honda Odyssey have?

Every 2027 Odyssey uses a 3.5-liter V6 making 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic with paddle shifters and front-wheel drive. Output matches the 2026.

What is the 2027 Honda Odyssey gas mileage?

Every 2027 Odyssey trim carries EPA estimates of 19 mpg city, 28 highway, and 22 combined on regular unleaded fuel, the same ratings as 2026. Actual mileage will vary.

Does the 2027 Odyssey use VTEC or i-VTEC?

Honda's 2027 spec sheet lists a 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC valvetrain, while the 2026 sheet says VTEC. Displacement, horsepower, torque, and the rest of the engine specs match, so the difference is in how the sheet names it.

What is new on the 2027 Odyssey Touring?

The 2027 Touring gets a gray finish on its 19-inch alloy wheels in place of silver. It keeps leather-trimmed seats, the 12.8-inch rear entertainment system, CabinWatch, parking sensors, and navigation, starting at $47,895 MSRP.

Do 2027 Odyssey tire sizes differ from 2026?

The 2027 spec sheet lists 235/55R19 tires for Sport-L, Touring, and Elite, which matches their 19-inch wheels, and 235/60R18 for EX-L. The 2026 sheet listed the 18-inch size across every trim, so the 2027 sheet is the clearer reference. Check the sidewall on any specific vehicle.

Should I buy a 2026 or 2027 Honda Odyssey?

For most shoppers, the 2027 is the easy choice: it is the newest model year with the same proven powertrain, space, and safety tech, and the widest selection going forward. A remaining 2026 may appeal if you specifically want leather-trimmed seats on an EX-L or Sport-L.

Did any 2027 Odyssey features move between trims?

No. Rear entertainment and CabinWatch stay on Touring and Elite, ventilated seats and the hands-free tailgate stay on Elite, and 3rd-row USB-C charging stays on Sport-L, Touring, and Elite, so the lineup you know carries straight into 2027.
