2026 or 2027 Honda Odyssey: which model year fits Egg Harbor Township families?

The 2027 Honda Odyssey carries a higher MSRP than the 2026, while Honda publishes the same engine, EPA mileage, seating and towing for both years. Families who want the lowest price pick the 2026; families who want the newest model year pick the 2027.

Pick the 2026 Honda Odyssey for the lower price, the 2027 for the newest year

The 2026 Odyssey is the lower-cost buy. Honda lists the EX-L at $42,795, the Sport at $43,895, the Touring at $47,495 and the Elite at $51,695, all starting MSRP for the 2026 model year. A family that wants the lowest starting price should look at the 2026 EX-L first.

Families who want the newest model year should choose the 2027.

What does a 2027 Honda Odyssey cost compared with a 2026?

Honda’s 2026 starting prices run from $42,795 for the EX-L to $51,695 for the Elite. Those are the MSRP figures a 2026 buyer starts from, before the destination charge. For 2027, Honda lists the EX-L at $43,195, the Sport-L at $44,295, the Touring at $47,895 and the Elite at $52,095, each $400 above the 2026 price of the trim in the same position (Honda, 2027).

Honda adds a $1,495 destination charge on top of the MSRP for the 2026 model, excluding tax, license, registration and options.

“MSRP plus $1,495 destination charge, excluding tax, license, registration and options. Dealer prices may vary.” (American Honda Motor Co., 2026 Honda Odyssey Pricing and EPA Ratings, 2025)

What changes inside the 2027 Honda Odyssey compared with the 2026?

The 2026 Odyssey seats eight on every trim: the EX-L, Sport, Touring and Elite. Seating does not change between the two years, so a family that needs three rows of seats gets the same room in either model year.

The features that differ between trims matter more than the year. The EX-L comes with CabinTalk® and a power tailgate with programmable height, so a family that wants those two features should check the EX-L first.

What engine and EPA fuel economy do the 2026 and 2027 Honda Odyssey carry?

Every 2026 Odyssey trim makes 280 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm, according to Honda’s published specifications. The EX-L, Sport, Touring and Elite all carry the same numbers.

The EPA rates the base front-wheel-drive 2026 Odyssey at 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined (EPA, fueleconomy.gov, 2026 model year). A family that drives mostly around town should expect city figures close to 19 mpg, and a family that drives the highway more often should expect figures closer to 28 mpg.

What seating, cargo space and standard safety does each Honda Odyssey year offer?

The 2026 Odyssey carries a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, whichever comes first. Honda also backs the body against rust for 5 years with no mileage limit.

Cargo room is the number that matters most for a family with gear. On the EX-L, the cargo area behind row 1 measures 140.7 cubic feet, behind row 2 it measures 86.6 cubic feet, and behind row 3 it measures 32.8 cubic feet. Maximum cargo is 155.8 cubic feet.

Row 1 and row 2 each offer 40.9 inches of legroom on the EX-L, and row 3 offers 38.1 inches.

Which Honda Odyssey year gives Egg Harbor Township families more value?

Set side by side, the 2026 and 2027 Odyssey share the engine, the seating and the maker’s towing limit of 3,500 pounds on every trim. The difference a family pays for is the price. A 2026 EX-L starts at $42,795. Every Odyssey trim tows 3,500 pounds and seats eight, so a family that needs those two things gets them at any price point.

For most families, the value question comes down to the trim. An EX-L with 280 horsepower and 8 seats costs less than a Touring with the same engine and seats. A family that does not need the Touring’s extra features should buy the EX-L and keep the difference.

What if the Honda Odyssey trim or color you want is not on the lot?

Boardwalk Honda offers custom factory orders for new Hondas. If the trim or color you want is not on our lot, we can take a custom factory order for it.

We can also reserve an in-transit new model when the trim or color is not in stock. A family that cannot find the exact Odyssey in stock can reserve one on the way to the store instead of waiting for another lot to sell it.
