The 2022 Honda Odyssey is a minivan offered in five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. Standard equipment on the base LX model includes LED front lighting, 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, black accents, rear privacy glass, and remote keyless entry. The EX trim adds programmable remote entry functionality, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators, LED fog lights, and power sliding side doors.

With the mid-level EX-L, you get a power moonroof and a power and height-programmable tailgate. Choose the Touring trim to get 19-inch alloy wheels and upgraded mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down functionality. At the top of the list, the Touring trim boasts rain-sensing windshield wipers, power-folding mirrors, and a hands-free liftgate.

Every model of the 2022 Odyssey receives its power from a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It works with a 10-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels.

When it comes to driving performance, the Odyssey is surprisingly fun. The peppy V-6 engine delivers quick and responsive acceleration, making it easy to get up to freeway speeds and merge or pass with ease. Stable handling, responsive braking, and precise steering round out the performance elements of this family-friendly vehicle. The transmission is also quite responsive, ensuring the proper gear in every driving situation.

All models except the base LX trim feature three seats in the second and third rows, offering seating for eight. You can remove the middle seat from the second row in these four trim levels as well. The LX has second-row captain's chairs, which takes the seating capacity to seven. Additional interior features on the base model include cloth upholstery, automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, and keyless ignition. Tech features include a seven-speaker sound system with a 5-inch central display screen. Step up to the EX to get tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and an upgraded sound system with an 8-inch touch screen, smartphone integration.

Choose the EX-L to get leather upholstery, USB charging ports in the second row, driver's seat memory settings, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. With the Touring trim, features include a third-row USB charging port, navigation, and sunshades in the third row. It also has a rear-seat entertainment system and a headphone-connected cabin intercom system. The top Elite trim boasts wireless charging, a premium audio system, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Across the board, every Odyssey includes Honda Sensing, a powerful suite of safety features. It bundles forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, a rearview camera, and lane departure mitigation. All models also include a rear-seat reminder system, which alerts the driver to check the rear seat when the vehicle shifts into park. All but the LX include rear cross-traffic alert with blind-spot monitoring, while the upper two trim levels also include front and rear parking sensors.
