The 2024 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite is one of the last four minivans standing, the others being the Chrysler Pacifica (now the only model Chrysler makes), the Toyota Sienna (which only comes as a hybrid), and the Kia Carnival (which is easily the most feature packed minivan on the market). All four minivan competitors offer buyers a number of different selling points, the least of which is space (because they're all basically huge now). The Honda Odyssey attempts to be all things to all people: it's one of the most spacious minivans you can buy, it's loaded with practical features and amenities, and it drives incredibly well. But like the Honda Odyssey's competitors, offering something sometimes means giving something else up. The Honda Odyssey can only be had in front-wheel drive with a naturally aspirated powertrain. All three minivan competitors now offer hybrid trims (or in the case of the Toyota Sienna only come as a hybrid), and all three minivan competitors offer some form of all-wheel drive. So how does the Honda Odyssey compete against something like the Kia Carnival, a minivan loaded with options and tech? The Odyssey drives better for one; there aren't many powertrains more satisfying than a Honda V6. What about the Toyota Sienna, one of the best minivans you can buy? Well, the Honda Odyssey is much larger inside than the Toyota Sienna, the smallest of the minivans. What about the Chrysler Pacifica, which offers a PHEV trim for decent EV range as well as fold flat stow and go seating? The Honda Odyssey won't break like the Pacifica. However, depending on what you need from your minivan, the Honda Odyssey's all around goodness might be what you're looking for... or not. With older kids like ours, the Honda Odyssey would probably fall to the Toyota Sienna or Kia Carnival, which offer fancier second row captain's chairs. What do YOU want out of a minivan? Let us know in the comments, and let us know what you think of the 2024 Honda Odyssey touring elite trim. We'd love to hear from you! (Our reviews of the other four minivans are below!)
