New 2024 Honda Odyssey in Edmonton, AB

The 2024 Honda Odyssey is an extremely practical vehicle with a clear mission focus on people carrying, so there’s no need to mess around with almost unlimited specifications and configuration options. That’s why there are three straightforward trim levels to choose from, which start with the entry-level EX-L model and go upwards to the mid-range Touring, and top-of-the-range Black Edition.

Although designers can’t get too wild with minivan exterior styling as compromising internal space would defeat the primary objective, you have to credit Honda for producing a stylish and genuinely desirable minivan. We’re used to seeing Black Editions of pickup trucks, SUVs, and sports cars, so it shows the confidence in the Odyssey design to make a Black Edition version with 19-inch black alloy wheels, Black edition badging, red ambient interior lighting, and even a glass black rear roofline spoiler.

Honda is a brand known for making extremely safe vehicles, and the 2024 Honda Odyssey is no exception. Unlike some SUV and crossover rivals, the Odyssey gets a full five-star rating for overall safety from the NHTSA and Top Safety Pick+ status from the IIHS. Every model receives Honda Sensing, a suite of safety features including active lane control, blind-spot monitors, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and adaptive cruise control. There’s even a rear seat reminder that alerts drivers of cargo and passengers left in the rear seats.

All models also get heated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel, and leather-trimmed seating is standard for every model apart from the entry-level EX. Every model features Magic Slide 2nd-row seats and One-Motion 60/40 split 3rd-row Magic Seat, emphasizing this fantastic family vehicle’s ultra-practical and versatile nature.
