All Odysseys come with a powerful 3.5-liter V6 producing 280-horsepower, and 262 lb. Perhaps Odyssey’s top feature is driving manners, be it on the freeway or country road.

A new infotainment system and electrical platform is just another of this minivan’s complete upgrade that includes all of today’s top Bluetooth and Smartphone bells and whistles. Complementing the new outward dynamic lines is the interior, which is very passenger friendly with special Easy B-Slide second row seats that make third row access non-cumbersome. Outwardly, the new Odyssey is a great looking minivan that adheres to Honda’s “Lighting Bolt” design philosophy. I highly recommend an Elite Odyssey if you can afford it as the Honda Safety Sensing package also adds adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, lane keep assist and road departure mitigation.

Major changes are many, perhaps even too many to mention in this column. For 2018, it’s now in its fifth generation with all-new features, powerful engines and it’s sitting at your dealer showroom right now. In 2011, Odyssey celebrated its fourth generation with an “all-new” manufacturing experience, and it’s been tweaked numerous times since. It’s been around since 1995 in four-cylinder only form and reshaped and reworked every year since. Odyssey minivan, by the way, isn’t new by any means. This week’s we’re driving the all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan, with seven or eight passenger seating starting an entry of just $29,990 for the base LX model.
