2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L

The 2014 Odyssey is Honda's family hauler, a minivan that seats up to eight and competes with the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Town & Country. The Odyssey steers with a light, easy feel that makes it far less intimidating to park than its size suggests. The ride is composed and quiet, with a cabin that stays hushed even at highway speeds. The second and third rows fold flat into the floor, and the wide opening makes loading bulky cargo straightforward. Available features include a rear entertainment system, navigation, and a LaneWatch camera that shows the passenger-side blind spot on the display. The EX-L adds leather seats, heated front seats, a power moonroof, and a power tailgate over the EX, making it the sweet spot for families who want comfort without jumping to the Touring Elite. Its 3.5L V6 makes 248 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, and Variable Cylinder Management helps it achieve 22 mpg combined on regular gas. Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning are standard on this trim, giving you a taste of driver-assist tech that was still rare in minivans at the time.
