The Honda Odyssey’s exterior is appealing, and the interior matches both in terms of comfort and convenience. It can seat seven or eight passengers and features the brand’s Magic Slide seat allowing seamless center-row seat positioning.

If you’re thinking of getting a 2021 Odyssey, you’ll want to take good care of it inside and out, both with proper maintenance and the right

2021 Honda Odyssey interior

The 2021 Honda Odyssey has several selling points, including a surprisingly low starting MSRP of $33,015. For a modern minivan with an impressive appointment of interior features, you’ll find it’s competitively priced.

Keep reading to find out more about the 2021 Odyssey’s interior, including specifics in infotainment, cargo space, and seating.

Seating

The Honda Odyssey impresses with its second-row Magic Slide seat. This enables you to remove the center second-row’s center seat. It creates more space for getting in and out of the third row and also lets the outer seats on the second-row slide in four directions.

You can use this feature to accommodate long legs, extra cargo, or bigger kids who need to climb into the third row. However, keep in mind the Magic Slide seats are only available for the

Odyssey EX

trim and higher, which starts at $36,415.

And if you plan to haul cargo rather than kids in your third-row area, then try the 60/40-split folding seats. They easily fold flat with a simple strap pull, making plenty of space for suitcases and more.

Tech

The base-level Honda Odyssey LX isn’t as well equipped as higher trims on technology. Every other trim level includes an 8-inch touchscreen display in the front center console. Here’s what else you’ll find on the EX and up:

Smartphone connectivity

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability

Available CabinTalk and CabinWatch, to talk to and monitor rear passengers

Available DVD player for second and third rows

Rear-seat infotainment system with streaming apps on the

Odyssey Touring

and higher

Available Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity

Rear-seat reminder system

Although the technology is fairly spartan on the LX trim, it does benefit from the standard rear-seat reminder system and the Honda Sensing® suite of driver assistance technologies.

Storage

You’ll have no problem hauling your cargo in the 2021 Honda Odyssey. If you aren’t traveling with passengers, you’ll find 144.9 cubic feet of storage space behind the first row of seats. If you have second-row travelers, you’ll still get up to 88.8 cubic feet of cargo space.

And if every row is occupied, you still have 32.8 cubic feet of stowage in the very back of the van.

Style

Unless you’re driving the

Odyssey Elite

trim, which includes leather upholstery and contrast piping, the 2021 Odyssey doesn’t turn any heads with its interior styling. It’s comfortable and adequate, but it would be a stretch to call it beautiful or stylish.

A gray interior with black trim gives a classic, professional look that’s attractive enough to show off, but it doesn’t make any waves.
