At Kunes Auto Group, we know what families value most—safety, comfort, efficiency, and dependability. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the 2026 Honda Odyssey, a reimagined version of Honda’s flagship minivan that blends innovative technology with everyday practicality. This year’s Odyssey isn’t just refreshed—it’s revolutionized.
Whether you're navigating the school drop-off lane or heading out on a cross-country road trip, the 2026 Odyssey delivers a smooth, efficient, and connected driving experience that modern families demand.
A Bold New Design with Hybrid Efficiency
The most dramatic shift in the 2026 Honda Odyssey is its move to an all-hybrid lineup. Under the hood, Honda has swapped its traditional V6 for a sophisticated 2.0-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine, paired with a dual electric motor system. The result is not only seamless power delivery but a substantial improvement in fuel economy—expected to reach up to 38 MPG combined.
This new hybrid powertrain is ideal for daily commuting, weekend getaways, and everything in between. It offers strong acceleration, minimal engine noise, and an eco-friendly footprint that fits perfectly with today’s environmentally conscious lifestyles.
A Cabin Designed for Real Family Life
Inside the Odyssey, Honda’s design team clearly had families in mind. The cabin offers a tranquil and tech-focused environment, accommodating up to eight passengers with ease. The second-row Magic Slide® seats have been upgraded for 2026, now offering improved reconfigurability and easier removal, giving parents and kids more ways to make the space work for their needs.
Technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the cabin. A new 12.3-inch infotainment display serves as the nerve center of the Odyssey, offering built-in Google functionality including Google Assistant, Google Maps, and access to the Play Store. Whether you're queuing up your favorite podcast or checking traffic on the fly, the system is fast, intuitive, and voice-activated.
Parents will especially appreciate the return of CabinTalk® and CabinWatch®, now enhanced with better night vision and more integration with the vehicle's rear entertainment system. USB-C ports are available in all three rows, ensuring everyone stays charged and content on long drives.
Safety Comes Standard with Honda Sensing 360
Every 2026 Odyssey includes Honda's most advanced safety suite yet—Honda Sensing 360. This comprehensive system provides complete coverage around the vehicle, with features such as lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, traffic jam assist, and blind spot monitoring.
These aren’t just add-ons—they’re essential tools for keeping your most precious cargo safe. With features like Driver Attention Monitor, the Odyssey is constantly working in the background to keep you focused, alert, and protected.
Style and Sophistication in Every Trim
While the Odyssey has always been practical, the 2026 model also brings a new level of style. A sleeker front fascia, LED lighting all around, and refined wheel designs give the vehicle a more modern and premium look. Available trims include the EX, EX-L, Sport, Touring, and Elite, each offering its own mix of comfort, performance, and technology.
Higher trims add luxury touches like leather seating, panoramic moonroof, ambient interior lighting, and a 12-speaker premium sound system—turning the family van into a full-on luxury cruiser.
A Smarter, More Connected Ownership Experience
The new MyHonda+ app offers a next-level connection between driver and vehicle. From your smartphone, you can remotely start the engine, lock or unlock doors, and even locate your Odyssey in a crowded parking lot. Parents of teen drivers can set geofencing alerts and monitor driving behavior—all from the palm of their hand.
Add in wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, and over-the-air software updates, and the Odyssey feels more like a tech-savvy home on wheels than a traditional minivan.
Environmental Responsibility Meets Everyday Practicality
Honda’s commitment to sustainability is at the core of the 2026 Odyssey’s design. The hybrid system not only improves fuel economy but reduces emissions, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious drivers. Even the materials inside the vehicle reflect this shift, with more sustainable fabric options and a manufacturing process that aims to reduce carbon output across the board.
