The 2025 Honda Odyssey arrives with a few subtle but intriguing updates, some of which might fly under your radar if you blink too quickly. A particularly fun tidbit: it’s getting the same upright reflectors found on the second-generation Acura NSX supercar. This little detail might suggest someone in the parts department bought a few too many when the NSX was in production.
Beyond that, the 2025 Odyssey boasts reshaped front and rear fascias, alongside a fresh grille. If you’re paying close attention, you’ll notice several new wheel designs, though the addition of a unique new color, Smoke Blue Pearl, might steal the show. We’re guessing it’s replacing the Obsidian Blue on the color palette, offering a cool nod to hues that aren’t just black, white, or gray.
Inside, the changes continue with a new 7.0-inch digital display for the instrument cluster. While it offers a tachometer, the analog speedometer remains, just for that classic vibe. Every 2025 Odyssey trim now comes with a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, an inch larger than last year’s, and offering wireless smartphone mirroring—though it’s still not the biggest in its class.
For convenience, Honda has added a wireless device charger to every trim and a slew of new USB-C ports, meaning no more complaints from the kids about running out of charging options. For the long family trips, the rear entertainment screen is now a roomy 12.8 inches, and its HDMI port is more accessible, eliminating the hassle of tangled cables throughout the cabin.
Perhaps the most significant shift, though, is the elimination of the base EX trim. Now, the EX-L serves as the Odyssey’s entry point, starting at $43,315 with destination charges—an increase from last year’s $39,635 EX trim.
As for pricing across the board, expect the Sport trim to jump $810 to $44,465, the Touring to increase by $1,110 to $48,005, and the Elite to rise by $510 to $52,275—all including destination fees. Despite these price hikes, don’t expect more horsepower: the Odyssey keeps its 280-horsepower V6 paired with a 10-speed transmission.
Honda plans to have the 2025 Odyssey in dealerships by September, just in time for the school rush. These updates aim to keep the Odyssey competitive in a family vehicle market that demands both convenience and the latest tech. While the price bump may be small, the added features make the Odyssey a more comfortable and capable ride for families on the go.
Though these tweaks may seem modest, they highlight Honda’s ongoing commitment to keeping the Odyssey a top choice for families. Combining practicality with modern tech, the 2025 Odyssey remains a strong contender in the minivan segment.
