Trims and Powertrain

Honda offers 2026 Odyssey buyers a choice of four trims: EX-L, Sport-L, Touring, and Elite. The powertrain unites a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. The lineup gets a front-wheel drivetrain (FWD) and returns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. All trims come with Honda’s Eco Assist System and Intelligent Traction Management System with Snow Mode. Although its primary duty is to move people, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the proper equipment. All Odysseys are outfitted with MacPherson front struts and a compact multi-link rear suspension featuring trailing arms and front and rear stabilizer bars.
