The New 2022 Honda Odyssey

In 2021, Honda refreshed the interior and exterior of the Honda Odyssey to make it more appealing. The company also gave a flat-folding capacity to the second-row seats.
The 2022 model does not have many notable changes compared to its predecessor. However, Honda has discontinued the in-cabin vacuum, which was a part of the previous models.

Standout Features:
