Driver assistance and occupant protection.

1st, 2nd And 3rd Row Curtain Airbags
Curtain airbags deploy along the roofline across all three rows to help shield occupants' heads during a side impact or rollover event.
Standard
Airbag Occupancy Sensor
Detects whether the passenger seat is occupied and adjusts airbag deployment accordingly. This helps reduce injury risk for smaller occupants or child seats.
Standard
Back-Up Camera
Displays a live rear view on the screen whenever the vehicle is in reverse. Makes it easier to spot obstacles and pedestrians behind the vehicle.
Standard
Blind Spot Information System
BSI uses sensors to monitor the zones alongside the vehicle that mirrors can't fully cover, alerting the driver when another vehicle is detected in a blind spot.
Standard
Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS)
Forward Collision Warning alerts the driver when a potential front-end collision is detected. If the driver doesn't respond in time, CMBS automatically applies the brakes to reduce impact severity.
Standard
Collision Mitigation-Front
Monitors the road ahead and warns the driver of an impending front collision. The system can apply braking force to reduce the severity of an impact.
Standard
Cross Traffic Monitor
When reversing, Cross Traffic Monitor scans for vehicles approaching from the sides and alerts the driver — useful in parking lots where sightlines are blocked.
Standard
Driver And Passenger Knee Airbags
Knee airbags deploy in front of both the driver and passenger to help protect the lower legs during a frontal collision.
Standard
Dual Stage Front Airbags
Driver and passenger front airbags deploy in two stages, adjusting inflation force based on crash severity. This helps moderate the impact on occupants in lower-speed collisions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The EX-L at $43,195 is the entry point and already includes leather seating for 8 — it's where most buyers land without feeling like they're missing critical features. Step up to the Sport-L ($44,295) if you want a different feature mix for just $1,100 more; the Touring ($47,895) and Elite ($52,095) add meaningful comfort and convenience upgrades but cost noticeably more.

Every trim runs a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a 10-speed automatic, producing 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined across the entire lineup — there's no hybrid option in this generation.

All four trims seat 8 passengers and share 140.7 cu ft of total cargo volume — that figure is consistent regardless of which trim you choose.

The Sienna is hybrid-only and will beat the Odyssey's 22 mpg combined in everyday driving; the Odyssey counters with a lower entry price and a more traditional powertrain that some buyers find simpler to own. If fuel savings are a priority, the Sienna is the stronger choice; if upfront cost matters more, the Odyssey has the edge.

The Carnival typically undercuts the Odyssey on price and offers a wider range of powertrain options, while the Odyssey has historically been preferred for its driving refinement and resale value — though resale figures aren't something we can confirm here. Your decision should hinge on a side-by-side test drive and a comparison of which features each trim includes at a given price point.

No — every Odyssey trim is front-wheel drive only. If AWD is a requirement, you'll need to look elsewhere; the Chrysler Voyager and Kia Carnival also don't offer AWD, but the Toyota Sienna does.
