2017 Honda Odyssey

The 2017 Honda Odyssey EX-L represents the era when Honda treated the family minivan as more than basic transportation. It was designed around the realities of everyday life: school runs, road trips, sports equipment, grocery hauls, visiting relatives and those family adventures where passenger space and cargo room are equally important. Finished in silver over a gray leather interior, this Odyssey offers a timeless color combination that remains practical, comfortable and easy to live with.

The Odyssey has long been one of the defining names in the minivan segment because Honda understood that true luxury for a busy family is flexibility. The second row can be configured with a removable center seat, allowing it to function as a three-passenger bench or as a captain’s-chair-style layout with a convenient walk-through to the rear. Behind it, Honda’s signature Magic Seat third row folds neatly into the floor, creating a wide and useful cargo area without requiring the seats to be removed or stored elsewhere. With all three rows in use, it provides generous passenger accommodations; with the rear seating folded, it transforms into a remarkably capable family hauler.

The EX-L trim adds the comfort features that make time on the road more enjoyable, including gray leather seating, heated front seats, a power sunroof and HomeLink wireless garage-door controls. The built-in Cool Box provides a convenient chilled storage compartment for drinks and snacks, a thoughtful feature that becomes especially useful during long drives, warm Sacramento summers and family outings.

Visibility is enhanced by a rearview backup camera and Honda LaneWatch. LaneWatch is Honda’s passenger-side preview camera system, displaying a live view of the area alongside the vehicle when the right turn signal is activated or when the dedicated camera button is pressed. It is an especially useful feature when changing lanes, approaching a bicycle lane or maneuvering through crowded city traffic. Unlike a traditional blind-spot warning light, LaneWatch gives the driver an actual live camera view of the passenger side.

Power sliding side doors make loading children, passengers and belongings easier in tight parking spaces, while the power rear liftgate provides convenient access to the cargo area. The Odyssey’s low step-in height, wide-opening doors and carefully designed cabin make it easier for passengers of different ages to enter, exit and move between the rows.

Under the hood is Honda’s 3.5-liter V6 paired with a smooth automatic transmission. The Odyssey’s road manners have always helped separate it from more cumbersome family vehicles, delivering confident highway power, predictable handling and a composed ride while maintaining the passenger space and utility that make a minivan so difficult to replace.

SUVs may attract more attention, but few can match the Odyssey’s combination of three-row accessibility, folding-seat versatility, sliding-door convenience and usable cargo space. This 2017 Honda Odyssey EX-L is an excellent fit for growing families, frequent travelers, grandparents, rideshare use or anyone who needs one vehicle capable of adapting to nearly every part of daily life.
