Get Invoice PricePrice Position: Squarely in the Middle
The Touring lands third out of four trims on price. It costs $4,700 more than the EX-L ($42,795), an 11% jump, and $3,600 more than the Sport-L ($43,895), about 8.2% more. Move up to the Elite and the gap is $4,200, or 8.8%. In other words, Touring is closer in price to the Elite than it is to the entry-level EX-L; the spread from EX-L to Elite across the whole lineup is $8,900, and Touring sits past the midpoint of that range. None of these dollar differences reflect a change in engine, transmission, or efficiency, since those specs are shared lineup-wide.
Powertrain: No Upgrade Over Lower Trims
The Touring uses the same 3.5-liter V-6 as the EX-L, Sport-L, and Elite, rated at 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Honda does not offer an all-wheel-drive configuration on the 2026 Odyssey, and there's no hybrid or electric variant in this lineup; every trim, Touring included, runs on gasoline only. The axle ratio (3.61) and 19.5-gallon fuel tank are also constant across trims, so a shopper moving from EX-L to Touring is not gaining any drivetrain advantage, only trim-level features that sit outside the scope of these specs.

Get Invoice PriceFuel Economy and What It Costs to Run
EPA figures for the Touring are 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined, the same numbers posted by every other Odyssey trim. Because fuel economy doesn't vary by trim, the modeled fuel cost doesn't either: under the standard assumptions of 15,000 miles a year, $3.50-per-gallon gas, and a 5-year ownership window, the Touring is estimated to cost about $2,386 per year in fuel, or roughly $11,930 over five years. Those figures are identical for the EX-L, Sport-L, and Elite, so fuel spending is not a variable in choosing among Odyssey trims, only purchase price is.
Seating and Cargo: Same Numbers, Higher Price
Seating capacity is 8 across the lineup, and cargo volume is listed at 140.7 cu ft for every trim, including Touring. A shopper comparing Touring against Sport-L or EX-L on space or passenger count will find no difference in the numbers Honda publishes. Whatever separates these trims in the showroom, trim-specific equipment not captured in this spec set, is where the extra dollars go, not toward more room or more seats.
Value Index: Where Touring Ranks
Honda's lineup can be scored on a simple value index, combined mpg divided by MSRP in thousands, since mpg is the one figure that doesn't change while price does. By that measure, the EX-L scores highest at 0.51 mpg per $1,000 of MSRP, making it the strongest value in the lineup. The Sport-L follows at 0.50, Touring comes in at 0.46, and the Elite is lowest at 0.43. This isn't a verdict on which trim is better; it simply reflects that Touring costs more for identical efficiency, which is the expected pattern as you move up a trim ladder with a shared powertrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
The specs show the Touring shares its engine, transmission, mpg ratings, seating capacity, and cargo volume with every other Odyssey trim. The $4,700 premium over the EX-L and $3,600 premium over the Sport-L buy trim-level content not captured in these figures. Based on the value index (mpg per dollar of MSRP), the EX-L scores highest and the Touring scores lower at 0.46, so the published data favors the EX-L if efficiency-per-dollar is the deciding factor.

Bottom Line
The 2026 Honda Odyssey Touring is priced at $47,495, sitting between the Sport-L and Elite trims. Every mechanical spec, the 280-hp V-6, 10-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, 19/28/22 mpg city/highway/combined rating, 8-seat capacity, and 140.7 cu ft cargo volume, is identical to the EX-L, Sport-L, and Elite. The published value index places the Touring at 0.46 mpg per $1,000 of MSRP, below the EX-L's 0.51 and the Sport-L's 0.50, reflecting that Touring costs more money for the same underlying specifications.
