2023 Honda Odyssey

The US-market 2023 Honda Odyssey is an eight-seat minivan offered in five trims — EX, EX-L, Sport, Touring and Elite. Every trim uses the same front-wheel-drive powertrain: a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 with a 10-speed automatic. The trims differ in equipment and features rather than mechanicals.

Configurations, engines & drivetrain

US-market configuration specifications. All five trims use the same 3.5-liter V6, 10-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, so the mechanical rows repeat. MPG is the EPA combined city/highway estimate. Towing is Honda's maximum rating and requires trailer brakes and Honda accessory towing equipment. Cargo is the volume behind the third-row seats (SAE J1100); larger figures with seats folded are in the notes.

Transmission & fuel economy

All five 2023 Odyssey trims share the same 3.5-liter V6, 10-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, and carry the same EPA rating of 19 city / 28 highway / 22 combined mpg. Because the drivetrain does not change between trims, fuel-economy expectations are the same across the range; actual mileage varies with load, conditions and use. Every trim provides 32.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seats (SAE J1100). Maximum cargo volume with the second and third rows folded is larger — Honda lists about 158.0 cubic feet on the EX and about 155.7 to 155.8 cubic feet on the other trims (SAE J1100 with floor space) — so check the exact measurement you need.

Passenger & trunk practicality

The table keeps seating and trunk capacity attached to each configuration. Check the actual vehicle and try your usual passengers and luggage before deciding whether it fits your needs.

Recalls

5 distinct model-year recall campaigns for the 2023 Odyssey, deduplicated by NHTSA campaign number: an in-tank fuel-pump campaign, a rearview-camera display campaign, a steering-gearbox water-intrusion campaign, a front-passenger occupant-classification sensor campaign, and — for wheelchair-accessible conversions only — a Vantage Mobility wheelchair-restraint campaign. This is not the number of open recalls on a specific vehicle. Zero matching results would not establish safety or reliability.

Check an individual vehicle with NHTSA.

Owner reports

100 distinct submitted reports match the reviewed 2023 Honda Odyssey vehicle scope. Reports were deduplicated by NHTSA report number. This is not a count of confirmed defects, distinct incidents or affected vehicles. No recurring-problem themes are asserted. Submitted reports are not a failure rate.

Manufacturer service information / TSBs

Manufacturer communications exist for the 2023 Honda Odyssey — several dozen records — but the applicability, duplicate-record and supersession review needed for a verified model-year count was not completed. The count is unavailable, not zero; this does not mean no service information exists. No communication themes are presented. A service bulletin is not a recall and does not establish that every vehicle has the described condition.

Before buying

Confirm the trim and that its equipment matches what you expect — Sport, Touring and Elite add features but not power. Run the vehicle identification number through NHTSA and Honda for open recalls and confirm any applicable recall repairs were completed; several 2023-model-year campaigns apply to the Odyssey, including a fuel-pump campaign, a rearview-camera campaign and a steering-gearbox campaign. Check the power sliding doors and power tailgate, the second- and third-row seats and their latches, and the service history. Honda's 3,500-pound tow rating requires trailer brakes and Honda's accessory towing equipment; verify the exact vehicle is equipped before towing. This is a model-year reference and does not report the condition or history of any individual vehicle.
