What's New in the 2014 Honda Odyssey?
The Odyssey receives several updates for the new model year. In addition to freshened styling,
Honda has added several newly available features. They include forward collision warning, lane departure warning and, on the top-level Touring Elite model, an available vacuum cleaner dubbed "HondaVAC."
Which Odyssey is the Best?
We think even the base 2014 Honda Odyssey is fantastic at $28,575. Budget allowing, however, we'd definitely upgrade to the Odyssey Touring for $41,180. The Touring includes satellite navigation, rear entertainment and handsome 18-in alloy wheels. Still, you won't be faulted for choosing any model in the Odyssey lineup.

How Much Does a 2014 Honda Odyssey Cost?
The ever-expanding Odyssey lineup now includes five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Touring Elite. The base-level Odyssey
LX ($29,500) includes such basics as cruise control, power accessories (windows, locks and mirrors), air conditioning, Bluetooth and a USB player for music. A rearview camera is also standard. Shoppers who step up to the Odyssey
EX ($33,000) get several more luxury and convenience features. They include dual power sliding doors, automatic headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control and second-row sunshades. Above the EX is the
EX-L ($36,000), which adds a power sunroof, a power lift gate, leather upholstery, heated front seats and a chilled storage box. Honda also offers the EX-L with options such as a rear-seat DVD player and a navigation system. Next up is the Odyssey
Touring ($42,500). That trim adds 18-in alloy wheels, driver memory for seats and mirrors, fog lights and front and rear parking sensors. It also includes standard navigation and rear-seat entertainment. Topping the Odyssey range is the Odyssey
Touring Elite ($45,000). It's a highly upscale minivan, offering automatic xenon headlights, a widescreen rear video monitor and a blind spot warning system. It also offers the HondaVAC vacuum as optional equipment.
Safety The 2014 Honda Odyssey features dual-stage, multiple-threshold front, side curtain and dual-chamber front and side airbags with Honda's passenger-side occupant position detection system. A vehicle stability assist system, active front-seat head restraints and pedestrian injury mitigation are all standard. So is Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure. It helps the Odyssey better absorb collision energy, especially in a front-end crash. That structure is now in its second generation in the Odyssey. The Honda Odyssey received a 5-star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It earned a 5-star frontal crash-test rating, a 5-star side crash-test rating and a 4-star rollover rating.
