Expert 2013 Honda Odyssey review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com editors

our expert's take

Vehicle Overview

Redesigned for 2011, the Honda Odyssey minivan sits lower but wider than its predecessor, with a look Honda says was inspired by lightning bolts. All Odysseys carry a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. The minivan seats up to eight and competitors include the Toyota Sienna, Chrysler’s Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, and the Nissan Quest. The Odyssey comes only in front-wheel drive.
New for 2013
All Odyssey trim levels now come with a standard backup camera.
Exterior
The Odyssey is styled to stand out among a sea of parked minivans. Its belt line falls abruptly at the C-pillars, resulting in an offset rear-quarter window. Honda says the design enhances sightlines for passengers in the third row. Rails for the sliding doors sit well below the windows; Honda says keeping the motors for the power-sliding doors lower allows for more shoulder room in the third row. Additional exterior features include:

  • Standard 17-inch wheels; 18-inch wheels optional
  • Available power liftgate
  • Available power moonroof
  • Available xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights
  • Available power-sliding side doors

Interior
Honda says the interior sports such tricks as a flip-up ring to mount a trash sack for second-row passengers and an air-conditioned console up front that can keep a six-pack of soda cool. A power driver’s seat, air conditioning and cruise control are standard. Additional interior features include:

  • 15 cupholders
  • Sliding second-row center seat moves up to 6 inches closer to the front of the cabin to keep an infant within arm’s reach
  • Available rear entertainment system; Touring Elite model gets a 16.2-inch widescreen display and surround sound
  • Available integrated sunshades
  • Available heated leather front seats
  • Available navigation system
  • Standard collapsible third-row seat creates a flat load floor

Under the Hood
The standard 3.5-liter V-6 makes 248 horsepower; it has a fuel-saving cylinder deactivation system across all trims. Additional mechanical features include:

  • Engine uses regular gas
  • LX, EX and EX-L models have a five-speed automatic transmission
  • Touring and Touring Elite use a six-speed automatic, along with low-rolling-resistance tires and a few aerodynamic improvements
  • Maximum towing capacity is 3,500 pounds when properly equipped

Safety
Standard safety features include:

  • Front-, side-impact and three-row side curtain airbags
  • Antilock brakes
  • Electronic stability system with traction control
  • Active front head restraints
  • Blind spot warning system (Touring Elite)

  • Reliable? NO way!!

    Chose used 2013 odyssey for reliability and safety. Major issues with VCM, extreme oil consumption, oil bypassing seals accumulating on spark plugs causing them to foul. Honda wouldn't honor recall although year and model matched. I learned to change spark plugs myself and check oil often to stretch the life. Regret not buying VCM Muzzler.

  • Bad Engineering... buring oil through rings...

    Buy any other van but not this one... it's burning oil and it will leave you stranded it will give you VSA and check engine light . Poor design 3 rings on the cylinders align and it sprays oil in the upper cylinder I have changed sparkplugs just to be able to drive it for a few more days and Honda does not cover it ….

  • 2013 Odyssey

    This van is fabulous so far. I had a 2003 Odyssey for 10 yrs prior to buying this 2013 Odyssey. I love Honda Odyssey's. This one is a very smooth ride, love the electric windows in the second row, the sunroof is wonderful, there's ample ports, the screen is big and easy to view the radio and backup camera. No complaints!

  • Nice ride for the family

    I have owned just about every Honda model throughout the years. This is my second Odyssey. Had a Pilot most recently. Love this Odyssey Touring. Way better than the Pilot for comfort, driving and maneuverability. Space is awesome. Cup holders are abundant. Kids like the roomy third row. Nice looking, get a lot of compliments.
