2025 Honda Odyssey design updates

For the new model year, the slightly redesigned 2025 Honda Odyssey minivan sports a more aggressive grille design in a new fascia with a wider impression, larger black fog light surrounds and an updated rear bumper design with vertical reflectors reminiscent of those found on the Acura NSX, for some reason. At each corner are some new wheel designs, with the top Elite trim getting updated 19-inch machine-finished alloys now. There are also two new paint colors: Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl.

The Odyssey gets a single, carry-over powertrain for the new model year.

The sole engine provides an output of 280 horsepower, and gets an estimated EPA rating (City/Hwy/Combined) of 19/28/22 mpg for each of the four available trim levels.
